Many of them are incomplete effigies or are broken concepts through the miasma of the world and its trials. Patrons rely on the direct connection between them and their chosen. All patrons serve the Witch Queen of [Baba Yaga](Baba%20Yaga.md). Patrons are not to be confused with the deities of the [Blue Pantheon](Blue%20Pantheon.md), who are often called "patron deities" for their respective races. ### Archfey ##### The Thorned Prince The last of the seelie blood line, denied his throne in the Great Reckoning.
