The Church of Turpa

Born of Kwainin and Zandreya, Turpa learned to master the weather from her parents, so completely that her moods became the weather of the world: unapproachable in a storm, as kind as could be on a warm spring day. It was said that when she bathed in a stormy sea, the storm fled before her into calm.

When she let herself be seen, she wore a long grey dress, her flowing black hair and albino eyes the perfect balance of darkness and light, with her mother's flawless beauty.

Turpa fell in the battle of Icewall. While Raije hunted the last of the Abhorrants, she, Sebatis and Cliath struck at Malachive in his ice fortress. Malachive cast a spell that drove his whole army into a suicidal rage, and as the three gods cut his soldiers down by the thousands with storm, spell and hammer, the thunder suddenly stopped. Malachive had crept behind her and driven a spear through her back, cutting her heart in two, before vanishing. Sebatis could not save her; Raije arrived through a portal to find his sister lifeless in Sebatis' arms. Kwainin has never fully forgiven Austinian, who once spared Malachive's life.

On the day she died the wind failed to blow, and no rain or snow fell anywhere in Algoron, until Zandreya took up the weather in her daughter's place.
