Varyssa - Goddess of Dreams

Taken from The Great Almanac of the Gods:

Varyssa is an ancient god who does not routinely meddle in the affairs of her fellow deities. Despite the fact she does not disturb the other gods, she communes with nearly the entire populace of Draia to some extent. More devout groups of followers dedicate themselves to her beyond simple rare prayers and words. The goddess of imagination communicates through dreams and nightmares; hoping to teach lessons, deliver messages, or even warn of events which may come.

Some mortals see her as a righteous goddess and pray for Varyssa to visit their children in their sleep to bless their dreams. Others warn their children of the evil witch of visions who might haunt them with nightmares and terrors. In reality, Varyssa is neither of these things. She is a goddess of neutrality. She shared the beliefs of Centau that change for the better may occur in both good and evil ways and that all must be held in balance. Following Centau's death, she continued according to the opinions they both had shared.

It is said that Varyssa rules over the realms of imagination. Some follow her seeking inspiration for their arts. According to the beliefs of many, using the power of Varyssa's imagination, her followers may change their form into whatever they desire.

To follow Varyssa is to dream of a perfect world and promote the ideas of change.
