Istus 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 worshippers in just weeks.

Clergy

Korint

A man called Vardan Brekker was one of the first to worship her, founding a temple to her on Terta Square and declaring himself Istus' high priest.
