Amis, The Stargazer
Amis, The Stargazer Goddess of the night, stars, and the sky. She is said to track the course of the night skies, ensuring that all the stars remain in their proper place. Since the Blight, the disappearance of certain stars has caused more than a little alarm among her followers, who likewise track the positions of those objects. It is believed that Aelandris' two moons, Hilia and Narassus, are her advisors or constant companions, although the followers of the moons themselves may accept this view to varying degrees. A lamp or candle set in the window is a common tradition across the world, especially during the longest nights of the year in winter. Many sought to have Amis' Starlight Clerics bless these light sources, so that they may keep vigil through the long dark until Direnna and Eton return with the dawn. She is the patron of astronomers, although her influence is thought to be felt whenever the stars or moons are visible, even if during the day. She values unbiased observations and meticulous recordkeeping, and has a perhaps surprisingly large following among clerks and accountants, as well as shipboard navigators. Often depicted as a set of stars in the night sky, outlining the constellation of a woman, this image has fallen from use since the Blight - likely because parts of said constellation are no longer visible in the night sky, some even suggesting it's no longer there at all. More often, especially in Altherian art, she is represented by a candle whose flame is in the shape of a star, sometimes with one or both moons behind it.
