THE TRUE GODS OF MINARRA

    It is here, Dear Reader, that you stand before the True Gods of Minarra, the divine rulers of what is, what was, and what will be. Be respectful in their presence, and they will share with you their hopes and dreams for all mortal kind—be they for good or for ill.

     As you read, you will see small pictographs like the ones above. These symbols are the Istari glyphs that represent the subject of each page. Trivial though they are, these translations would be absolutely forbidden to the laity of Minarra...but through our patient efforts, they are made available to our Real World readers.

     [Author's Note: You will notice that the text is almost completely devoid of statistical information and references to game mechanics. This is very much by design. As a DM, I want my gods to be gods, not hyperinflated monster/characters my PCs can beat on any time an Avatar shows its face. Reducing divine beings to numbers on a chart destroys any hope of preserving the awe and mystery that is rightfully theirs.]
