Theology and Practice

More than just the goddess of music and poetry, Sarana is also the patron of historians and scribes. Thus, her domain is often seen to cross over with Elune's. Elunians tend to be bookish researchers, while Saranans are more interested in oral history and tales.

Her clergy all bear some musical or oratory skill. Just as songs and stories can be double-edged swords, so Saranans come in a variety of types, from good-natured to self-seeking. Rulers of all types seek their backing, hoping their tales and songs can sway others to their cause. The Quicktalk skill is common among Saranan clergy.
