| The worship of the goddess-dragon Eisha was always a part of the people of the north. Although her worship was strongest among the women of the most isolated villages, many magicians also paid homage to her strength. Over the years her worship was slowly overshadowed by the worship of the gods [[lore:Byrne]], [[lore:Vayne]], and [[lore:Karash]]. Her vissage was changed by those who left the old ways for the new gods into [[lore:Mara]], the wife of Byrne. After that more people turned their backs on Eisha. | The worship of the goddess-dragon Eisha was always a part of the people of the north.

| On a cold winter's night, Eisha sent her followers a vision of a place she had set aside where they could continue to worship and live their lives free from the chains of the gods. Over one thousand women left Daconian villages with only food and their winter clothes and ventured into the night. Before they reached the eastern shore of the [[White Sea]] less than eight-hundred remained, but they were strongest and most dedicated of Eisha's followers. The last of their weakness had been burned out of them by the icy winds. | On a cold winter's night, Eisha sent her followers a vision of a place she had set aside where they could continue to worship and live their lives free from the chains of the gods.
