Description

Mystara is a willowy figure with skin that seems to be made of living parchment, covered in constantly shifting magical formulae. Her hair floats weightlessly, each strand a different color of magical energy. Her eyes spark with arcane power, and she is surrounded by orbiting tomes and magical implements.

Curious and analytical, Mystara approaches everything as an opportunity for study. She speaks precisely and enthusiastically about magical theory. She shows equal excitement for discovering new spells and teaching basics to novices.

The Radiant Line

As the youngest of the Radiant Line siblings, Mystara represents the endless pursuit of knowledge and magical understanding. While Soltharion judges and Umbrath guards secrets, Mystara seeks to expand the boundaries of what can be known and understood.

Her approach to knowledge is more open than her brother Umbrath's - she believes that magic should be studied and shared, though she respects that some knowledge requires protection.

Divine Purpose

Mystara maintains the greatest repository of magical knowledge in existence. She travels between planes studying different forms of magic and sharing knowledge with worthy students.

Her temples are centers of magical learning, where wizards, sorcerers, and scholars come to study the arcane arts. She is particularly revered by those who see magic as a tool for understanding the universe rather than merely a means to power.
