Erethus (Zalona)

Erethus was an ancient explorer and sage who ascended to godhood upon her death to become the god of scholarship. She is called Zalona in some tongues. She is usually depicted as a young woman wearing green or red holding a map rolled up in her hand. Legend records that she visited the Eriand Coast during her many travels.

Temples to Zalona always include libraries and are often the only libraries, other than the personal collections of the wealthy, in the surrounding region. Anyone is allowed access to these libraries, but those who are not well known to the priests may only do so under the eye of the priests. One such temple-library exists in Karem's Beach. Her priests are known for wearing green or red robes and having secretive natures.
