The form of the bear.*** Yona was originally a magical avatar cast by a group of paladins to fight the tyranny of the Anaye in the land of Tovangar. Legend says that, during the battle, the avatar grew so powerful that she ascended to godhood, unleashing a roar that tore a crack across the entirety of Caledon. Upon her ascension, the Paladins who cast the spell formed **THE ORDER OF YONA,** to serve justice and maintain the peace. Yona is still held in the land as a symbol of the power of magic, the capability of mankind, and the pursuit of a just utopia. The church of Yona became one of the main religious powers in the land, accumulating great wealth from noble believers who believe that, through their donations, Yona will protect their souls into the afterlife. > [!dm] > ### Institutions > The clerics of Yona are usually wealthy believers who have the time and money to research, study, and learn about the power of magic. You will find many magical wielders who are devout followers throughout the land. The commonfolk believers revere the wealthy, viewing them as blessed by Yona, and the casual followers view her as a protector and mother-bear for the whole land of Tovangar. The nobles believe the same, but only if you contribute some coin to earn her favor (and earn the loyalty of her Order of Paladins). > > ### Notes > [Additional DM-only information]
