Water is the most precious, necessary element for continued survival. So is reproduction. Anashta personifies both. She represents water in all its forms, including rivers, lakes, oceans, springs, storms, and rain, as well as love, fertility, and passion. Her devotion to her domain is unrivaled.
Anashta enjoys creating new beings. She brought many of the sea creatures on Ilisara to life, including sirens. Sirens adore sailors and landwalking mortals. They call them into the seas to love them to death. Anashta further perfected this creation by bringing mermaids to life, who do not cause as much harm to their landwalking counterparts. Dolphins are a symbol of Anashta.
Anashta's followers are everywhere. Couples, lovers, sailors, fishermen, bards, and even farmers look to her for blessings and guidance. Priests and priestesses of Anashta officiate weddings. Her shrines can be found all over Ilisara and are dedicated to hope for tomorrow and continued survival.
