Oschon is ruler of the mountains and god of wanderers and vagrants. He commands the element of wind and is associated with the sixth moon of the Eorzean calendar. Oschon is the brother of Nald'thal, the divine lover of Menphina, and the close companion of Halone. He is most often depicted as a carefree rander wielding a bow of yew. His symbol is the walking stick.[1]

Mythology

Oschon emerged from the Whorl, and where he walked, mountains would raise from the planes. Llymlaen longed to be with him, but due to his wanderlust they never begot children.
Halone joined him on one of his pilgrimages, and there she found her lust for battle, slaying the creatures Nophica brought onto the realm. To ease the tension, Oschon let magma emerge, and when it cooled it took form of Nald'thal.[2]

In the Heaven of Winds, Oschon is the ruler of the mountain range that rests on the endless ocean of Llymlaen, which acts as the resting place for explorers, climbers, saints and adventurers. The gales that blow off his mountain enter the Pit, creating vicious winds that rip the flesh off the defilers of land and sea, bandits and pirates who are sent there.[3]
