Description
Nekeira is a peregrin who is believed to be a student of Munus, the deity of fate. While it is Munus who weaves the destiny of each soul into the Tapestries of Eternity, it is Nekeira who interprets them and allows her followers to view glimpses of both past and future.

Nekeira in the Divine Record
It is said that Nekeira grants visions to any and all who revere her in the hope of fostering peace. If mortals can achieve their ends through wisdom and insight, what need will they have for war? The mortals that serve the Dreamspeaker know that the world is not so simple and that passions are not so easily sated. Even so, they strive to spread her message through free fortune telling for anyone, hoping against hope that Nekeira's greatest prediction will someday come to pass.

In the holy book of the Nekeiran faith, Destinies, a great prophecy states that one day an anxious soul will sit at an Augur's table and demand a reading of the stones. This lost soul will be the linchpin of destiny, not just for the world, but for the multiverse. Following the advice given in the dreamstone ceremony, the destined one will be transformed into a being of great power and peace, referred to as the "Aria."

Church
Nekeira's lay priests are called Augurs, clerics who also serve as fortunetellers on the road and in the goddess's many blue-painted temples. All Augurs follow the spiritual law that, so long as it does not interfere with their other duties and obligations, they must never refuse a request for a 'reading of the stones'. High-ranking Augurs are called Ovætes, and oversee the faith from grand temples called Voyance Cathedrals which are generally elaborate in design and most often placed in prominent cities, where their services can reach the most people.

Catering to kings, diplomats, merchants and entertainers, Voyance Cathedrals are often social hubs for the faithful and the upper class.

Important Rituals
Augurs, Lucids and Ovætes all meditate just before bed, often for lengthy periods. Traditionally, these prayers are said with a sachet of herbs and fragrant oils in their hands, and spoken to a small, doll, hand-made by the practitioner, which is typically stuffed with lavender, spice, and flower petals. This sachet must be remade every season.
