Ysra is one of the few deities who still have partial access to the Materium. She is the Moon and has the role of keeping the barrier to the astral sea intact.

Appearance

In Materium Ysra takes the appearance of the moon. She is said to literally be the celestial object.
In addition she has a second smaller moon orbiting her, dubbed the Companion.
When in Celestium she is often depicted as a beautiful feminine figure in a flowing white gown and long hair that seems a window into the nights sky.

Commandments

Ysra in general does not command other than looking down upon anyone dabbling in the Abberrant.

Worship

Ysra is not a common deity to follow. The followers she does have are close knit group of people who study the Abberrant and stop incursions of it into the Materium. Over time they mostly became scholars, only engaging in ritual combat at most, so Temples of Ysra will hire adventurers to hunt down Abberrant entities.
The nobility of Hatbia worship Ysra. In this they fight the Aberrant and also the cults of Oi'Tovon

Werewolves

Werewolves are followers of Ysra directly chosen by her to fight the aberrant. During New Moon, when Ysra leaves Materium, they transform into great beasts to fight

Prayers

As Ysra can access Materium directly, her followers do not often burn prayers. Instead they pray at night, facing the moon directly. If a prayer seems necessary to a follower either during the day or during a new moon, they will burn a prayer.

Relationships

Ysra is in a relationship with Cytrix. This relationship is considered “forbidden” as Ysra leaves Materium once a month during new moon to be with her partner, which causes the moon to disappear from the night sky and the barrier to the astral sea to weaken, making it very slightly more possible for Abberrant entities to slip into Materium. This effect is felt most strongly in the Moonpath, as the barrier there is weaker anyways. There, during a new moon people either hide indoors or leave the Moonpath alltogether, as strange things stalk the streets.
