Her attire is made of fabrics that appear weightless, flowing around her in soft waves and billows with every movement, as if perpetually caught in a mild, uplifting wind. These garments shimmer with the pale colors of dawn—soft blues, gentle lavenders, and warm pinks, suggesting the sky at sunrise or sunset. The fabric moves with a fluid grace, perfectly capturing the essence of a favorable breeze that fills the sails of ships and carries them to distant shores.
Rezza Oir’s hair is long and appears weightless, floating around her head and shoulders like wisps of cloud. It shifts and flows with an unseen current, sometimes sparkling with tiny droplets of dew that catch the light and scatter it in a thousand tiny rainbows. Her eyes are a clear sky blue, deep and calm, reflecting a depth of knowledge and an understanding of the world’s many paths that only a master navigator would possess. Her movements are gentle yet deliberate, each gesture imbuing the air around her with a sense of calm and purpose.

Mythology and Worship
- Creation Myth:
For aeons, Poraal Oir served as the sole heir to Gaoth Oir, the Primordial of Air, wielding the tempestuous powers of storms with unmatched prowess. Yet, despite his loyalty and dedication, Poraal grew increasingly conflicted. The devastation wrought by his storms—necessary for the balance of nature yet often harsh and unforgiving—weighed heavily on his spirit. Each bolt of lightning and clap of thunder, while fulfilling his role, echoed in his heart as a pang of remorse for the destruction and fear he instilled among the mortals of Staterum.
Torn between duty and sorrow, Poraal resolved to steel his heart against the pain his actions caused. However, the more he attempted to suppress his empathy, the more turbulent his emotions grew. Unbeknownst to him, these suppressed feelings began to manifest physically; a small, pulsing growth appeared on his chest, growing with each storm he summoned.
Driven by a desire to prove his strength and mastery over his emotions, Poraal unleashed the most ferocious storm Staterum had ever witnessed. The skies darkened as never before, and winds howled with a fury that shook the very foundations of the realm. Yet, as the storm raged at its peak, Poraal collapsed in agony. The growth on his chest throbbed intolerably, a stark reminder that even gods are not immune to the consequences of denying their true nature.
As the storm subsided and Poraal lay weakened on the ground, the growth burst forth, not with violence, but with the gentle whisper of a calming breeze. From this ethereal emergence, Rezza Oir was born. She was the antithesis of the storm’s rage: a deity of gentle winds, trade breezes, and benevolent navigation. Rezza embodied all that Poraal had suppressed—compassion, guidance, and a nurturing spirit— all that he wished he could have been.
