Belana Zolaed is a drow priest of the Luxon at Jigow.
Description[]
Personality[]
Belana is a devoted woman who takes care of her deity's temple and her fellow worshipers' ceremonies.[3]
Biography[]
Belana joined or was born as a member of Den Zolaed, one of the twelve noble Dens of the Kryn Dynasty.[4] She became a priest of the Luxon with divine magical abilities.[3]
When the city of Jigow officially became part of the Dynasty around 735 PD,[5] the cult to the Luxon also extended to the city. By 836 PD a dodecahedron-shaped temple had been built there, and Belana maintained the temple and conducted its ceremonies.[3] A part of the local population still mistrusted these new beliefs, which they felt were suffocating the preexisting culture.[6]

Trivia[]
- The name Belana is composed of bel, a Proto-Indo-European root that can be interpreted as "shining", "pale white" or "grey"; and ana, having an uncertain meaning—in very different languages it can mean "child", "mother" or "grandmother". It can also be a feminine variation of Belenus, a Gaulish Celtic god associated with light and healing. The name itself seems to be a reference to the deity Belana worships, and their light.
- Given that she is a member of both a noble Dens and the Luxon's clergy, Belana is presumably consecuted.[7]
- Belana has the same spell slots as a 5th-level cleric.
