Etaris, the Bride of Ydersius, is a deity of the ancient Aishmayar civilization revived in 4724 AR by the Godsrain.

History

Soon after the Godsrain, Kelesh faced its first unrest in the western province of Mishyria, located between Qadira to its west and the rest of the Keleshite heartland to its east.

A seven-day storm of Godsrain that struck the Daszij Damworks in Mishyria overflowed and destroyed the dam to flood the Plain of Anvar, ending 5,900 years of the dam's control over the Kezeret River and washing entire settlements into the Kardaji Bay and seas beyond. The drained reservoir also exposed the well-preserved ruins of a previously unknown city of the Aishmayar civilization predating Earthfall, from which emerged countless serpentine harbingers of Etaris, Bride of Ydersius. Long thought dead, the Godsrain revived Etaris, who quickly drew the downtrodden people of Mishyria to her following.

Etaris found an ally in Falayna, who appeared in person to kneel before Etaris in a ceremony witnessed by her adherents, and had since ministered to Mishyria's people and raised tensions with local Sarenites.
