Goddess of Freedom
The Birth of Gulthia:
When Ranbeltor and Celestian rested they took shelter from the coldness of the Astral Plane. At one point, feeling the chill more so than usual, Celestain stoked a fire. Enchanted by the way it danced, Ranbeltor and Celestian poured life into it and unwittingly created Gulthia. What she saw was a stale universe, overly subservient to her parents and siblings. Outraged, she took it upon herself to spread herself across the universe, instilling every living thing with a sense of free-will and agency. Celestian, Ranbeltor and their children attempted to undo what Gulthia had done, fearing what come about as a result, but it was too late.
Appearance:
Gulthia rarely, if ever appears on Ianis, preferring to take a backseat in the affairs of the world. If she should ever appear, mortals will be greeted by the sight of a woman seemingly made of flames.
Temperament:
Gulthia, despite her great gift to all sentient life, cares very little for the affairs of the world. She prefers instead to encourage those with the ability to take action. If mortals should ever find themselves confronted by her, they must be prepared for almost total indifference.
Worship:
Gulthia is unique amongst the Gods in that she has no temples devoted to her. But this is not due to her not having a place in the hearts of mortals. But simply because offering anything other than a quick thanks to her is completely useless. Gulthia gave the races of Ianis free will, she has no real interest in what they do with it outside of that. That said, should some force ever attempt to impinge upon said free will on a large scale, Gulthia will take notice.
