Perdita is the goddess of the lost and the cast-outs. She is said to protect wanderers lost in the dark, and to help people find their way when hope is lost. Her worship was the least popular amongst the pantheon pre-Shattering, and many believed her power too insignificant. In a world after the Shattering however, her followers have persisted quite strongly. Her worship has increased in the wake of disaster, with many believing themselves and the world itself lost, but she has become a guiding light for many who have fallen to hopelessness.
It is said that Perdita is one of the only gods to walk among her
followers, and to provide light for them when they cannot find it
themselves. Religion is not popular as a whole in Ezeth and many believe
their world beyond saving. Those who do still hold faith, largely hold
it with Perdita. While no glittering temples exist, there can usually be
a few temples and places of worship in trading cities. There, her
followers are dressed plainly in grey robes and offer aid where they can
in the form of healing, shelter, or food.
Also among her flock are those stricken with grief, the symbol of her
worship is a lantern, held by a hooded figure, for she is said to be their light in the dark, and
to shepherd souls to the next life.
Worship of Perdita began in the foothills of the Dragonridge mountains
of Tragor, near the city now called Bhal Todur. It is said that she
appeared to a group of miners after a cave-in, and that her light led
them deeper into the tunnels. Keeping their faith and following what was
later described as a song, she led them out of the mountains to the
city that would become Bhal Todur, a pilgrimage site for believers
pre-Shattering. It is near impossible to make the journey as times are
now, as doing so would include a trip through demon infested lands in
Imea, and bring the traveler to the cusp of the bone worm contamination
sites.
There are many who decry her followers as following a 'false god' based
on strange visions fueled by gases in a cave-in. Many over the years
have claimed to see her guiding light, but nothing has ever been proven.
Most of her followers are non-violent, and seek to restore peace and,
just as their lady did for them, be a guiding light in the dark for
those who need it.
In an otherworldly encounter deep underneath the city of Crookstone, the Dust Devils encountered an ancient city at the heart of which was a temple. Adorned with iconography depicting dragons, they were pulled into a limitless void, where they met an entity that called herself Dralta, as well as the Endless Expanse. Whether this was Perdita, or some form of her is unknown, though she revealed that she was the one who sealed magic away 150 years ago, and that it is currently keeping a malevolent force in Cadrin and something festering beneath Tragor from destroying the world. She gave the party what little magic she had, imbuing them with magical abilities not seen in 150 years to go forth and bring about a world safe enough for magic to return.
