Neutral Good goddess of song, serenity, and protection.
As the main counterpart to Bahamut, Althena helps in the creation of new life as well as the oversight of anything within her or Bahamut’s domain. Along with life, Althena gifted onto all sentient beings the innate ability to use magic, along with magic being passed onto animals. She aims to have everyone use magic to better their life and to heal the sick, though due to the influence of other deities this is a fruitless endeavor. With a power on par with Bahamut, Althena doesn’t believe in war or fighting, instead leading any waylaid subjects from conflict to prosperity.
She is depicted as a woman with flowing blue hair, sometimes wavy in shape, while wearing a white, red and purple dress. She is often shown in a non-intimidating pose, normally giving aid to the wounded.
Althena’s churches mostly follow her teachings of healing and correct control of magical powers, generally trying to tame the crazier Black Mages within the world who use their magic for destruction rather than helping others.
