Ninlee

Ninlee is the wife and sister of Heinil, god of the air. She shared his dominion over the winds and skies, but her aspect was gentler, more protective. Where Heinil commanded the tempests, Ninlee was the steady current and the breath of life that sustained. She was revered in Peakshadow not only as patroness but as guardian of the city’s lofty spires.

It was said that many pilgrims credited her for safe passage along the perilous mountain paths. It is still said that no storm can strike Peakshadow without first contending with her vigilant gaze.

Legends tell of Ninlee’s role in the founding of Peakshadow. When mortals first dared to build their homes among the jagged cliffs, she spread her cloak across the heights, shielding them from the fury of her brother-husband’s storms. In gratitude, the people raised shrines in her honor, offering woven banners and wind-chimes so that their prayers might ride the air directly to her.

Ninlee’s power extended beyond the city. Travelers and exiles whispered her name for safe journeys, and falconers invoked her when training their birds of prey. She was depicted as the embodiment of grace in motion, a reminder that even amid the howling chaos of the storm, there exists a guiding wind to carry the faithful through.
