Nami has more active
spirit minions than most of
the Nine. She has many very powerful
spirits and many very weak
spirits with everything in between.
Nami loves variety. She has a wide variety of types of
spirits at her command. Almost of every type can be found, guardian
spirits, questing spirit,
little gods, healing
spirits, muses, etc.
Nami even has a tiny number of Faustian
spirits. She is the only deity besides
Greymoria to have any.
Nami's most common spirit seen are nature
spirits embodying specific types of weather such as snow
spirits, rain
spirits, tornado
spirits, etc. Many weather
spirits have a secondary power set thematically tied to their weather. A rainbow spirit might also be a muse or a healing spirit. A tornado spirit is probably also a soldier spirit. Most
Nami spirits have an element of a trickster's personality to them.
For
spirit summoners ,
Nami default air creature is a zephyr because of their folklore associations with winds.
Nami's default land creature is a mongoose because I like mongooses. I have not come up with what
Nami’s default sea creature spirit is going to be. Of all
the Nine,
Nami is the only deity I have not figured out where she fits into
Scaraqua. Maybe
Nami is associated with flying fish?
Nami Creatures
Nami is not nearly as prolific at creating new races as
Greymoria, but she is certainly not opposed to new races. In terms of numbers and influence,
Nami's greatest success was
orcs, a race she created in collaboration with
Maylar.
There is a legend that
Nami is largely responsible for the creation of
the first satyrs.
I haven’t come up with any other races of
Nami creatures yet. I could create a good aligned
Nami race that she made in collaboration with
Zarthus or a nature aligned
Nami race that she made in collaboration with
Korus. Centaurs could qualify for either Zarthus-Nami or Korus-Nami race. Or I could make centaurs the product triumvirate. I don’t have to be a slave to my own fluff, but in my mythology most of the powerful races have multiple godly creators (
humans,
elves, and
dragons are the only races created by all nine of
the Nine). If the centaurs have three divine patrons, they would be very powerful and influential, at least on par with
dwarves and
gnomes. I mostly pictured centaurs as a low population, low influence sidekick race to the
wood elves.
I haven’t given
Nami many adopted children. You might be able to find an oddball
goblin or
kobold tribe that happens to view
Nami as their primary patron, but
Nami has yet to convert one of
Greymoria's cast-off races
en masse like others have done.
Most
tengku are not particularly religious. However, when the crowfolk do take up the cloth, they frequently take up the cause of
Nami.
Tengku like freedom and they like travel, so they often join the
Rovers. The other deity the
tengku often turn to for their spiritual needs is
Phidas (since both
tengku and
Phidas love gold). While
Nami and
Phidas do not normally get along, the
tengku on opposite sides of the proverbial fence are usually civil with each other. If the
Rovers and the
Masks need to hash something out peacefully, the two factions will frequently have
tengku broker the deal.
