Once of the fourth circle, the goddess Isune was known before the Elder Wars for such acts as painting the sky with Her sister Trillillial, making variants of avian creatures, or granting wings to beings normally lacking them. One of the last Elders to leave during their war against the Soulless, She witnessed the deaths and splintering of many whom she loved, and suffered grievous wounds Herself.
Aeons passed away in the void before the coming of Estarra drew Isune back to Lusternia, where She quickly allied Herself with the budding city of New Celest alongside Lacostian. She became intrigued and entranced by mortals and their potential, often content to idly watch them and urge them to put their talents to use. At the same time, the scars that the world and Basin of Life still bore from the Soulless incited Her anger, and evoked Her pity.
When the Seal of Nature broke and the might of Kethuru threatened all of creation, Isune sacrificed Herself to repair and empower the seal. The efforts of Lacostian and many mortals succeeded in restoring Her, but this and Her later involvement with the creation of the Wyrd of Glomdoring left Her changed. While She may still be considered a compassionate being, She no longer assumes Her former title. Her emphasis has fallen to the beautification of Lusternia in body and soul, and as such, She has taken the new moniker of 'the Aesthete.'
Isune values artistry wrought with imagination above all things. She holds the act of making viable creations from raw materials in the highest regard, be it blade forged of metal or a poem writ of emotion. Beauties wrought with light, colour and sound are Her passions, and to these endeavours She now devotes Herself.
Not all creations are valued by Isune, however. Her painful experiences and losses during the Elder Wars have left Her with a lasting hatred for the Soulless and anything wrought or changed by their influence, considering them flawed and defaced works.
