Alphine, goddess of Peace
Born from the goodwill of Nero, god of Order, Alphine exists as a radiant reminder of harmony in a turbulent world. She moves through Baltharos like a gentle breeze, never seeking to dominate or command, but to soothe the hearts of the weary and inspire hope where despair has taken root. Alphine’s voice is soft, like a whisper carried on wind, her presence bringing warmth and calm wherever she appears.
Her teachings are uncomplicated, asking only that her followers live with compassion, spread harmony, and bring comfort to those suffering. She is revered in villages, cities, and even among traveling communities, as her faith does not require strict temples or grand rituals, only the intent to create peace.
