Lesser Goddess, N -- Mental and Physical Mastery of Mind over Matter, Twilight, Shadows, Stealth

Xan Yae is one of the rare deities of Baklunish
who has attained a measure of service across the Flanaess.
The goddess is sometimes known as "The Perfect Mistress" by
those who serve her through the
pursuit of martial arts. She is the epitome of grace,
SPEED, and perfection with respect to such discipline.

Xan Yae appears always in human form, but of either
sex and of any age. In any guise, she is slender and
graceful, but only in her true form is she recognizable
as the Lady of Perfection. Xan Yae usu. is dressed in
cloth of dove gray, dusty rose, or golden orange,
regardless of her guise.

While the deity has been known to use all weapons
associated with monks, she prefers to wield her pair of
magical falchions. These matched blades are no larger
than table knives until Xan Yae will them to grow.
They then spring to full sized falchions, each about 3
feet long. Xan Yae one in each hand. The
magical properties of these weapons change during
combat, so that her right side is more powerful in the beginning
but the balance gradually shifts to her left side.
Xan Yae also can attack as the "Supreme Mistress of Petals," with her open hands.

In addition to all other abilities, Xan Yae is a powerful psionic.

Non-magical hostile enviroments do not harm Xan Yae.
This includes airlessness, cold, heat, etc.
She can travel to any of the Inner Planes, and on the Astral Plane as well,
but to go to the Outer Planes, she must use her psionic power. <?>

Those individuals who seek mastery of their mind and body,
as well as those who favor twilight,
are prone to serve Xan Yae. Thus her followers include
monks, thieves, and less savory sorts, as well as young
lovers and those of cautious nature.

Clerics of the goddess wear cloaks of gray over
sunset-hued robes. Places of worship of Xan Yae are typically
in secluded settings. Those found in urban centers
will be large, but constructed so as to be unnoticeable
as a monastery, temple, or whatever.
Services incl. dance-like exercises, meditation,
reading, chanting, and prayer. The light always is
shadowy && dim, and breezes tinkle chimes && bells <cf. zephyr>
so as to provide background "music."
