Lady Kastalia, Goddess of Lakes and Rivers, is the guardian of the waterways of the land. She looks favourably upon accomplished explorers and those who strive to know the ins and outs of the lands, and enjoys exploring places Herself whether She has seen them before or not. She prefers to dwell within natural environments near a source of water, and can sometimes be seen by explorers as She wanders through wilds in the dead of night, beckoning those who have become lost in the mists to safety.

History

In the year 385 AF, the Goddess of the Moon awoke from Her slumber and shed a single tear for the beauty of the vast world. The tear rolled off into the churning waters where it was seemingly forgotten, yet instead of letting it drift through the ocean it was captured by Lord Neraeos and placed within a hidden temple in Riparium for safekeeping. Along with the tear, He sent a trusted priest to tend to its growth. It began to grow into a young Goddess and upon Her birth the rivers of the world became clear of a toxic substance that tainted them. The newly emerged Divine was named 'Kastalia' and was given governance over the lakes and rivers that were once part of Her father's realm.
