Ioun

Ioun is the goddess of magic, arcane knowledge, and prophecy. She is believed to have once been mortal, possibly the first true archmage, achieving apotheosis by discovering and manipulating the underlying magical laws that govern the cosmos.

Ioun is the patron goddess of wizards and others that wield arcane magic, and many libraries and magical colleges maintain shrines in her honor. She teaches her followers to seek perfection of the mind by balancing reason, perception, and emotion, and to accumulate and preserve arcane knowledge.

Ioun is most often depicted as an elderly woman with dark skin and silver hair clad in elaborate robes with a shining gemstone embedded in her forehead.
