The Story of Janna
Janna is a wind spirit whose origin is debated — some Zaunite traditions hold that she is the manifestation of prayers offered by Zaunite sailors and dockworkers over generations, a protective spirit summoned into being by collective need rather than any individual act of magic. Others say she has always existed. She doesn't clarify. She appeared in Zaun's canals and alleys during a period of particular crisis and has been there, in varying degrees of visibility, ever since.
She moves with the wind she commands — arriving where storms gather, dispersing threats with gusts that send attackers tumbling, shielding the vulnerable with walls of moving air. In Zaun's lower districts, where the chem-barons' private forces operate without oversight and the people they prey on have no recourse, Janna's presence is the recourse. She doesn't always appear. She appears often enough that her reputation has become its own form of protection.
The Zaunite communities that have known her longest treat her with the particular affection reserved for something that shows up when you need it and doesn't ask for anything in return. She is not a deity to them — or not exactly. She is more specific than that: a being who has chosen to care about these people, in this place, in this way. Whether she experiences this as choice or as something more fundamental to what she is remains unclear. She continues regardless.
