 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.
-Still, many clung to the old ways, seeing the new gods for the usurpers the were. While it never broke into a religious war, it was only a matter of time before the last true followers of Eisha were pushed out of the villages. These problems all bubbled over the year the [[lore:Daconian|Daconian's]] left their homelands and journeyed south in search of a promised land. Many of the people felt betrayed by those that spoke about leaving their homeland and being led by those men that had seen a vision from the gods.
+Still, many clung to the old ways, seeing the new gods for the usurpers the were. While it never broke into a religious war, it was only a matter of time before the last true followers of Eisha were pushed out of the villages. These problems all bubbled over the year the [[orgs:daconians]] left their homelands and journeyed south in search of a promised land. Many of the people felt betrayed by those that spoke about leaving their homeland and being led by those men that had seen a vision from the gods.
 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.
-When these women reached the shoreline Eisha raised a bridge of ice that spanned to a series of rocky islands far into the sea. These island would be the place where the [[lore:Sisters of Eisha]] would be reborn from those women who come freely to the promised land. They would continue to worship the [[creatures:dragons]], elder gods, and spirits of the land far from the corrupting influence of the "new"; [[lore:gods]] and their [[creatures:dwarf|dwarven]] allies.

-The Carthins are some of the best warriors for the Eishen to hone their battle skills against. They are not fanatics willing to die for their cause or a weapon specifically forged by the [[lore:gods]] to destroy them. Instead, they are an honorable people with a strong history to battle. Above all other people the sisterhood will both ask and give quarter in battle against the Carthins. Prisoners are traditionally exchanged for their worth in goods, which as led to complicated but valuable trade route.

 ==== Magic ====
-There are two varieties of magic used by the sisters of Eisha. The first and most common is the magic as taught to their ancestors by the [[lore:Magi]]. This magic is gained from scrolls taken in raids and from those women that were accomplished magicians before they received the calling. While most of the women studying this magic seek only the spells of war, divination and illusion are well-known to those looking for a stronger edge in battle. So driven is their desire to defeat all enemies that they have researched spells of war unknown to the rest of the world.

 The second magic is that only taught to the sacred inner circle of Eisha. This is the magic of the ice and [[wp>tundra]], the magic of dragons and the eternal darkness. It is this magic that flows directly from the blood of Eisha to her most loyal and powerful worshipers. This is not to be confused with those most holy worshipers that call down the words of Eisha directly, this is still magic, just being drawn from a different source.
