Sinashakti
Immaculate Joy; the Walker of Worlds (planar litriti-raelis eladrin empyreal lord [he/him] / CG)
Portfolio: Journeys, joy, messengers
Realm: Arborea / Arvandor / The Rosewood Palace
Berk, if you’ve ever felt the thrill of starting a journey on a new road, the giddy rush from reuniting with a long-lost friend, or felt simple delight from a message that was delivered at just the right moment, you’ve brushed against the wake of Sinashakti (sin-ah-SHAHK-tee) as he strode past you unseen. He’s the eladrin empyreal lord who’s travelled every road, the patron of all who wander, all who carry news, and all who find joy in the journey. The eladrin call him the Far-Carried Light, for the way that his smiling presence brings hope to those waiting patiently for news.
Sinashakti embodies the crunch of feet on gravel on road, and the catchy song whistled by travellers to keep their spirits high. He’s not really interested in destinations, but more in the beauty of movement itself. His faithful are always on the move: bards, wandering merchants, planewalkers, and any cutter who just can’t stay in one place for long. To walk is to worship, as they say.
The Walker of Worlds is also the embodiment of joy. Not the shallow joy of a lucky dice roll though, but the deep, infectious happiness that comes from living with an open heart. Sinashakti teaches that every step, and every meeting is a chance to taste the wonder of existence. Even in the darkest places, he finds a reason to smile—and encourages his followers to do the same. It’s this aspect of his portfolio that draws in many Sensates to his following, especially those who enjoy travelling from the Civic Festhall of Sigil to Arborea regularly.
Finally, Sinashakti champions the couriers of the multiverse, those bloods who carrying tidings between factions, powers, friends, and even enemies. His followers are seen as trusted go-betweens—never twisting the message, always striving for honesty and clarity. In a multiverse of secrets and shadows, the promise of Sinashakti is that the truth will find its way.
Appearance and Philosophy
Sinashakti cuts a striking figure: he’s a tall, handsome eladrin, with blue skin that glows faintly like the sky at dawn. His long black hair is often braided and adorned with bright beads and golden cords. His eyes twinkle with mirth, and his smile is as constant as the road is long. He dresses for travel—colourful silk trousers, a tunic embroidered with maps and stars, and a riot of jewelry that jingles with his every step. His arms are stacked with bangles, and he wear a veritable rope of gems across his shoulders. When danger rears its head, he will conjure a shortbow studded with yellow sapphires, firing emerald-tipped arrows that blaze like sunbeams.
Sinashakti is never still. He’s quick to laugh, even quicker to forgive, and always ready with a story or a song. He’s the companion you didn’t know you needed, the complete stranger who turns a lonely road into an adventure. His creed is simple: “May the light carry you far today.” He teaches that goodness is found in honest connections, in finding the courage to explore—both literally and metaphorically, and in the joy of discovery. He despises stagnation, secrecy, and cutters who isolate themselves. To Sinashakti, every meeting is sacred, and every message carried truthfully a chance to unite hearts.
His followers are expected to celebrate their journeys—not to rush to the end, but to savour every step. Along the way, they should share their joy, bringing stories and laughter wherever they go. And it goes without saying that they must also carry messages faithfully, never twisting words for their personal gain. Sinashakti’s not one for temples or hierarchies. His worship is best performed on the open road, around the campfire after a day of exploring. If you’re moving, you’re honouring Sinashakti.
Place in Eladrin Society
At the Court of Stars, Sinashakti is both the infrequent guest and the tireless errand-runner. He’s welcomed everywhere, from the wildest coure revel to the most somber of tulani council. When the Court needs news from the farthest reaches of Arborea or beyond, they trust Sinashakti to deliver it—no matter the risk. He’s closest to the raelis, ghaele and coure eladrin, who share his love of travel and mischief. He’s also a favourite of eladrin bards and diplomats, who see him as an inspiring patron. He’s rarely found in one place for long of course, but his influence is everywhere.
The Rosewood Palace
Sinashakti’s home is technically the Rosewood Palace, which it perched on a hill above Arvandor’s River of Chromatic Tranquility. The place is a riot of colours and trinkets: Every wall is papered with parchment containing stories, every window opens onto a vista of a different plane (chant goes they can be used as portals too), and every room is filled with maps, letters, and souvenirs from a thousand journeys. But don’t bother looking for him there—he’s almost never home. The palace is tended by a host of coure and ghaele, who welcome travellers, share stories, and keep the fires burning for Sinashakti’s next (brief) return.
Shei Five Dawns
Shei Five Dawns (not to be confused with the guardinal paragon Shei) is—or perhaps we should say was—an oracle of Sinashakti, and something of a prodigy. A favourite to become an eladrin paragon herself at some point, her rise was cut short when she simply vanished. At first, Sinashakti was beside himself with worry, then grief, and despite his extensive travels he never caught a whiff of a lead tracking her down. While he’s no longer grieving, he is still hopeful, and spends much of his little free time looking for clues as to her whereabouts.
The dark is that Shei Five Dawns is still alive—although only just. Her five-faced head was chopped off by a wicked adhukait asura called Kaisadvaisad, and hidden in a fiendish cathedral on an obscure prime world called Golarion. The horrid creature keeps the head alive purely so he can mock Sinashakti—although he’s too much of a coward to do it to the eladrin’s face.
