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.
Clergy
In the city of Korint a man called Vardan Brekker was one of the first to worship her, founding a temple to her and declaring himself Istus' high priest.
