Sestra is also considered goddess of winter, artisans, both the forge and the hearth, and with her twin brother Jaralder, is a special patron of Dragostahni bards, and legitimizes their magic as her divine gift. She specializes in inspiring sorrowful music and poetry, especially that which recounts actual historical events.

Physical Description
Body Features
Sestra is a goddess who values cunning and correct behavior over incidental things like beauty. Like certain other gods, she sometimes goes amongst her people in disguise to test their hospitality, and chooses to appear as a particularly plain or even ugly woman, often depicted with a long face, a bump in her nose, lank, dark hair and crooked teeth. She often keeps this face when she reveals herself, but may be clad in the heavy leather apron of a smith or the winter traveling clothes of a queen, resplendent with embroidery and furs.
Mental characteristics
Morality & Philosophy
The winter is long, cold and dark--those who are so fortunate as to have the gift of fire and shelter but do not share it with those in need violate her laws.
