Lan

Summary

Lan is an earth-associated god tied to love, home, and family. His worship appears at a statue outside Hartwall, in the Irate Unicorn, and in the temples of Riversmeet. A fireplace-and-cat emblem is also identified with him, suggesting a further connection with domestic life or cats, though the exact significance is not yet clear.

Known Details

  • On day-33, the party teleported to the statue of Lan outside Hartwall. Lan was noted as an earth god associated with love, home, and family.
  • The statue of Lan outside Hartwall was very similar in style to the Statue of Sierra.
  • On day-33, Lady Fatrabbit’s armour was described as dedicated to Lan.
  • The Irate Unicorn contained a shrine to Lan, alongside other odd objects and local clues.
  • On day-44, Riversmeet had temples to Hydran, Igraine, Lan, and Kasha.
  • In Professor Arnisimus Goldenfields’ quarters, a golden chain bore a fireplace-and-cat symbol identified as Lan’s. Seven cat collars were found nearby. This may point to a cat or household association, but the relationship between the professor’s belongings and Lan’s worship is uncertain.
  • Other cat-related religious or liminal imagery may be relevant, though none of it names Lan directly. In a Goliath tower, an Attabre inscription referred to “the stories the people of the cats told” and offering bowls stood before several god statues; later, an Earth-plane memory space appeared as a tavern filled with cats.
  • During the Brass City citadel sequence, picking up a cat-shaped object released Haze, and the cat was later one of several significant objects being recovered. This reinforces the campaign’s recurring cat imagery, but its connection to Lan remains unconfirmed.
  • On day-57, Lan appeared in a list of gods or god-like names with counts beside some names.

Open Questions

  • Why was Lady Fatrabbit’s armour dedicated to Lan?
  • What is the significance of Lan’s fireplace-and-cat symbol, and does it represent a genuine association with cats?
  • Are the cat-filled tavern, the “people of the cats,” and the Brass City citadel’s cat object connected to Lan, or do they belong to separate traditions?
