-Among the [[atlas:​Ruenlak]] **Mantessi** is the goddess of thunder and lightning. She is depicted as a thin, nearly skeletal, woman with flowing black hair wearing a long hooded cloak. She carries a wooden [[wp>​clapper_(musical instrument)|clapper]] in her right hand that resounds with the thunder that levels mountains. Her left arm bears ribbons or bolts of cloth that she uses to paint the sky with after the storm. When angered she hurls ice the size of a man's head, pelting the land and those who dwell upon it with thousands of missiles. The only protection is to be found within a stone building.+Among the [[atlas:​Ruenlak]], **Mantessi** is the goddess of thunder and lightning.

 She is the goddess of virgins and all women who receive her blessing must have never copulated with a man. To those who serve her dutifully she grants them command over one of the winds that trail her presence through the sky. It is believed that she will never enter a house where copulation is happening. She disdains those lovers caught under the open sky and will send the winds to punish them for a year. She is the goddess of virgins and all women who receive her blessing must have never copulated with a man.

-[[people:​Svetlana]] is an old, bitter storm that was chained to the north by [[people:​Preben]],​ a giant man from the [[altas:Night Ice]]. Long did she rage, but could do nothing to break the chains that bound her to the earth. She screamed and begged Mantessi for revenge and one day her wish was granted. In the mortal form of a great bear she tore apart the chains and chased Preben across the north. The giant was more than her match in battle - her raw fury against his skill. Several times she nearly killed him, but each time he escaped with his life. The more he escaped the more her fury grew. She destroyed thousands on the belief they harbored Preben.+[[people:​Svetlana]] is an old, bitter storm that was chained to the north by [[people:​Preben]],​ a giant man from the [[atlas:Night Ice]].

 The giant disappeared long ago, but she still searches for him. Anyone woman offering her aid will find that she is a strong, if unstable, companion. A man who dares approach or touch her will be killed. The giant disappeared long ago, but she still searches for him.
