The Church of Zandreya

Born of the world itself, with no parents, Zandreya walked the land cloaked in wind and trees and found solace in the forests and rivers. When she came of age, Kwainin was overtaken by her beauty and wooed her; she became his wife, received the gift of immortality, and ascended with him to watch over the world.

Elves and all nature-loving races worship her. Animals stop to watch and listen when she passes, forests sway around her, and branches bend to shield her from harm. Her beauty surpasses even the forest nymphs made in her image: long blonde hair and gentle green eyes, smiling on all who walk near her path.

When her daughter Turpa was murdered by Malachive, the wind stopped and no rain or snow fell anywhere in Algoron, until Zandreya took up the weather in her daughter's place. She later saved her son Sebatis from the black vapor of Malachive's horn, and was herself attacked by the forces of Chaos; her fury since has stirred great storms over Arkane. With Kwainin and their sons she made the first Crystal Dragons, giving them the Will to face their foes without fear.
