Dunne

Dunne's emblem is two crossed swords gripped at the center by a claw. The version on Eistol's silver soldiers resembles the symbol Violet knows, suggesting related Navarrian and Unnbriel iconography.

Unnbriel's high priestess teaches that Dunne demands payment before combatants prove their worth, and she collects blood from the challengers before their trial.

Dunne is described in temple teaching as the most wrathful goddess, and her grace is treated as something an attendant can forfeit by shunning her.

Dedication to a deity can place a person into temple service, but guardians are no longer allowed to dedicate children into lifelong service before the child reaches majority and chooses freely. Dunne's high priestess says Violet's dedication was not completed and that the temple touch usually leaves a longing that draws a person back.

Violet concludes that Asher Sorrengail tried to dedicate or give her to Dunne in Unnbriel, where the priestess began the process but refused to accept her because she still had paths to choose from. Mira's search through temple records supports the idea that no local Navarrian record would show the attempt.

After the defense of Dunne's temple, the high priestess's letter says Dunne holds Violet and Rhiannon in her regard. The same message says Dunne is in Xaden's debt and owes him whatever favor he chooses.

Dunne's seal appears on the document Violet carries after her missing twelve hours, and the enclosed blessing gives divine or temple sanction to Violet and Xaden's legal marriage.

A marble dagger from one servant of Dunne to another carries divine wrath in a form only those touched by the gods should wield. Violet concludes that Dunne's wrath lets the weapon kill Theophanie, a former high priestess who turned away from the goddess.

Unnbriel's temple-centered trial puts Dunne's worship at the center of the delegation's attempt to win the isle's alliance. The trial and the isle's loyalty to Dunne do not secure welcome or cooperation once Marlis demands dragon eggs.

Dunne's Aretian temple becomes a protected battlefield site when Aaric insists it must be defended during the attack. The armed attendants and high priestess hold the steps rather than retreating inside, and the high priestess says Dunne sent Violet to them instead of taking up arms herself.

Aaric's Dunne-sealed package reaches Violet during the battle and leads to the temple dagger used against Theophanie. The weapon's Dunne-linked origin supplies the means for Violet to kill the fallen high priestess.
