Protha Gnist

Protha is a heroine of the First Men, whose adventures are the subject of a series of ancient texts known as The Epic of Protha. Her true age is uncertain, but it is known that she is immortal, due to secrets uncovered on her adventures.

Divine Protha
Although she is never stated to be a goddess in the stories of her exploits, Protha is recognized as a goddess in some places. She is called Protha Gnist, a title which means "she who knows." Rather than concern itself with an overt worship, the faithful of Protha are more than content to be a largely unseen force on history. They concern themselves with preserving the stories and legacies of Vantowyn, rather than with garnering the worship and praise of its inhabitants. Due to her lack of public worship, there are few adherents of her faith outside of cloistered monasteries and scriptoriums of the Keepers.

Archivaria
Her divine realm is called Archivaria. The entire realm is devoted to the preservation of histories, records, and memories. Protha and three lesser Divines to maintain the realm and call it their home. The lesser Divines are Tali the Poet, Kleia the Scribe, and Panea the Curator, each with their own specialty within Archivaria. The only other denizens of the place are a unique fey species called Lefkies.

Tali the Poet
Tali is a lesser divine being revered by the Keepers. She is credited with the preservation of song and story. She is a bard and a storyteller, and concerns herself with the keeping of fantastical accounts of real events. Whether it is fictional, or merely embellished, Tali keeps it on her shelves. Tali is the embodiment of the Keepers' belief that even tales of fiction can tell important truths about the people who wrote them, and the world in which they were written. She is the philosophical thinker of the three.

Kleia the Scribe
Kleia is revered alongside Tali, but she is credited with the keeping of true historical accounts, and all manner of records. Where Tali is concerned with the stories, Kleia is concerned with counts, and technical writings. Law codes, genealogies, even business ledgers are kept within Kleia's collection in Archivaria. She records rules and numbers, and focuses on purely historical accounts, leaving any embellishment or philosophical implications to her counterpart.

Panea the Curator
Panea is unique amongst the three lesser divines of Archivaria. While Tali and Kleia concern themselves with written accounts and spoken words, Panea concerns herself with illustration and architecture. She collects and categorizes physical art objects with the same meticulous enthusiasm that the others show for their fields.
