While Vitar, the Far Traveler may rule over the planes, it is Paha that rules beyond them.
When cities vanish, they blame bad luck. When cities reappear anew, repurpose, changed, they thank Paha.
— Unknown Wanderer
It’s rumored the first city of Esparia existed in the now desolate and uninhabitable region Umberpost . It’s soil turned to ick for all except the rocks and trees. It is said those who walk upright aren’t long for this world who enter the region. Now, many cities claim to have risen from the ashes of the town who’s name was lost to history. None moreso than Midharbor.
Some see the Lady as a symbol of caring for one’s surroundings and their things. Encouraging the knowledge to learn craftmanship to repair fixable goods or create new things from the combination of other old things. Some go on to become inventors.
You’d better get to bed young one! Or… The Lady, Paha herself will come and take away all your favorite toys.
— Many an exhausted parent
Some Gearforged feel a strange connection with Paha. This is often explained as the gift of their lifeforce successfully bonding to the gears that motorize their locomotion through this world. Similarly, some Beastkin feel a wyrd connection to her whenever they see a quiet-minded brethren scurry into the forest as though they themselves were once repurposed.
Some astronomers and astrologers pray to Paha as they seek to understand the moons and stars beyond Dauntless. Some pray to her when they don’t know where else to turn.
The Void Touched, The Midnight Dwarves
One of Esparia’s prominant lineages dug too deep and fell into the Void leading them to become Void-Touched, they are known as Dwarf, Midnight representing both a lineage of blood and a unified clan. It is claimed beneath Dauntless is another Void leading to another plane or world. It is therefore presumed that the deeper one digs the more realms exist. Some Dwarves worship the stones she walks upon, many despise her.

The Remade Basillica in Midharbor.
Divine Domains
Reuse & the Void
For the world to continue its peoples must make use of its resources. None represent this more than Paha, the essence of recreation. Matter of the Material plane is reshaped and often times misplaced in space.
