Gesme teaches that chaos and innovation are part of a great
cycle. Each discovery spawns a new mystery, which leads
to further discovery in a never-ending loop, in which the old becomes fodder for the new. She is a symbol of all
that birdfolk can achieve if they dare to push boundaries and harness their creativity.

First among her followers are those who study the arcane arts or experiment with magical forces, such as
scholars and mages. She is also revered by artisans, and craftspeople of every kind. Blacksmiths in particular
understand the danger and power of working directly with flames and pay her special reverence. Her followers
pray to her for the spark of creativity that will ignite the fires of creation.
