Istus (IS-tus) concerns herself with the fate of the universe and its history. She is depicted as a cold and unfeeling young maiden. She carries a golden spindle, with which she spins the future into the present, thus weaving the web of fate.
Dogma
The multiverse is conceived of as an intricate mesh of interconnected threads, with everything connected to everything else. The threads of fate are sometimes slack enough that destiny can be altered in some small way. Because the future is for the most part foreordained, it can be permitted by those with the skills to perceive how the threads are linked. Acceptance of one's fate is the only honest approach; those who strive too hard against Fate will only meet their own foreordained ruins.
Current Clack
A newly arrived god to the world, she revealed her existence to certain people only recently. Her message of fate and how it could be changed in small ways has resonated with people and she has gained quite a few worshipers in just weeks.
Clergy
Banak
Three dwarven triplet sisters told everyone who would listen that the Lady of Fate had come to them and encouraged all to worship her and live by her tenets; accepting that which can't be changed but improving what can be.The message resonated and soon the Agate sisters (Ramilda, Grymna, and Varuna) had a real following. Now Istus worship is spreading through the entire country.
Korint
A man called Vardan Brekker was one of the first to worship her and announce her presence to the world, starting services to her on Terta Square before founding a temple to her on Keoa Street, and declaring himself Istus' high priest.
