A female monastic order that settled on Windfall after the fall of the Basilica del Mare. The Sisters are responsible for many of the island’s festivals, having preserved many of them from the days when the Basilica stood. They are quartered in a domed cathedral on Windfall, in the hills east of Freeport. The cathedral is said to be a partial replica of the Basilica del Mare and is dedicated to Immeria, Goddess of the Sea.
Arcadius, god of the earth, is often forgotten in the worship of those living in the “civilized” world. The continent of Arcadia is sacred to him.
In truth, the elves largely worship the pairing of Immeria and Arcadius as the Goddess and God, the Divine Equals. Many of the shrines and ruins in the wilds of Arcadia bear strong elven architectural features and were in fact crafted thousands of years ago by a combination of humans and elves that once lived on the massive continent).

The rise of the Unknown Star
Born of the moon’s light,
Of the black of night,
Blighted by betrayal, cursed and thrown down,
Forced to wait in silence and in doubt
For the coming of a new light
Born of two lines, pure and tainted,
Dark and light
But chosen of a Goddess shadowed,
Come to claim what once was lost
What once was stolen away
To claim the legacy of the Night and the Star.
With children grown
And from nest flown
Returned to the lands
Of a life long gone.
A threat from without and within
A fight that cannot be lost she must win.
