Priestess of Seven Mothers. Berene is a priestess of the Teelo Norri subcult, and lives in the Teelo Nori Temple in Riverside, tending to the poor at the Teelo Norri Poorhouse. Even the most fervent anti-Lunars find it hard to dislike this humble woman.
Lunar Religious Leaders
Harnasti is Priest of Deezola. He is actually a native Pavisite, who converted immediately after the occupation, and has risen rapidly through the ranks. He is keen to extol the virtues of the Lunar Way to his compatriots.
Priestess of Irrippi Ontor, the Brown Sage. As well as trying to impose her will on the Cult of Lhankor Mhy, she also sits as a judge in civil cases.
Rune Lord of Etyries, the Lunar god of trade. Pharnastes is a Tarshite by birth.
High Priestess of the Seven Mothers Temple in Pavis. Porusa is elderly and experienced. She tries to avoid politics, but is also experienced in political matters. She leads the entire Lunar religious hierarchy in Pavis County, and is not responsible to Sor Eel or any of the civic or military authorities, but rather to her superiors in Mirin's Cross. If anything, she is superior to Sor Eel - one of the functions of the religious authorities is to make sure that the civic and military leaders are staying true to the Lunar Way, and Porusa technically has the power to suspend the authority of any member of the civil or military establishment, subject to an appeal to the Provincial Oversser, Appius Luxius. However, she and Sor Eel have a good working relationship, and respect each other.
She was originally a priestess of the Deezola sub-cult of the Seven Mothers.
Priestess of the Red Moon. Tala is kept secluded and apart because she is destined to be married to Pavis on behalf of the Goddess of the Red Moon in order to bring Pavis into the Lunar Pantheon. She takes her orders directly from Moonson, the Red Emperor, himself. She is guarded by a special detachement of Blessed Daughter archers to ensure her safety and purity while she awaits the propitious time to wed Pavis.
High Priestess of Etyries and of the Pavis Market. Valerina is Sartarite by origin - her travels took her into the Lunar Empire and she became a convert to the Lunar Way. Despite, or because of this, she is even-handed in her dealings with merchants from both Etyries and Issaries cults.
