Caledrem Nai

Caledrem Nai is one of Aperion's four wind gods. Due to Aperion's heavy reliance on air travel and traffic, the country's residents began worshipping the winds of the cardinal directions, rather than one all-encompassing being. She is the goddess of the Northern Wind.

Appearance
Like the other wind gods, Caldrem Nai is rarely depicted in any sort of recognizable form; unlike the rest of the pantheon, the winds are believed to be so transient that their physical forms change frequently, save for a few constants such as their color associations and their disability. Typically, she is represented by an old Draconic symbol for "air" and two colors associated with her. Caledrem Nai's colors are blue and white.

Disability
According to the legend, when Margir split into four separate beings, the ferocity of the action caused the newly born wind gods to each lose something. Caledrem Nai, therefore, is known to be blind. Legends state that because she lacks the ability to see what people look like, she only judges her followers by their actions. She is known to be harsh and demanding, but her worshippers claim that this attitude makes them into stronger people.

Jurisdiction
As the Northern Wind, Caledrem Nai has become the patron of challenges and trials. She is usually associated with warriors and soldiers; those going into battle often ask for her blessing, even if they do not generally worship her. Many think of her as a goddess of order and honor, in contrast to her closest brother, Tor Selva. She is associated with the season of Winter.

Nai Alban
The Aperionian holiday Nai Alban is, as the name implies, a day in which Caledrem Nai is heavily involved. It is the winter solstice; the shortest day of the year and the time when Caledrem Nai has the strongest power. Despit the weather that often comes with the season, many people arrange duels and matches on this day, believing it to be the perfect occasion for an honorable battle.

Association
Caledrem Nai is said to be closest to her brother Tor Selva, the Western Wind, perhaps in a form of balance. Worshippers of the Northern Wind will, in situations that call for it, appeal to Tor Selva should their goddess not suit their particular needs. They refrain, however, from calling on Altrius or Vaiti, the Eastern and Southern gods, believing it to be taboo according to the legends of the favoritism of the winds.
