In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and the 3rd Edition default pantheon of deities, Xan Yae is the Baklunish goddess of mystery and furtive excursions, discipline and shade. She is known as The Supreme Mistress of Petals by those who pursue martial arts and discipline of the mind.
She was served by the demigod, Zuoken, before he vanished in 505 CY. She is a close ally of the Cat Lord, Rexfelis, and opposes Pholtus and Pyremius.
Worshippers[edit]
Rogues, thieves and others who call the shadows their home revere her. Scholars, swordmasters and shadowmages do as well.
Clergy and temples[edit]
Though a Baklunish goddess, Xan Yae has some measure of popularity throughout the Flanaess, especially among monks.
One of Xan Yae's better-known monasteries beyond the Baklunish Basin is the Twilight Monastery, located three hours northwest of Diamond Lake in the Cairn Hills.
