Editing Chan (section)

==3rd Edition==
''A calm breeze of softly churning air seems to suggest a benign presence. Quiet gusts of wind swirl about to form a cloud, from which shines a serenely smiling face.''

Aside from losing her enmity with [[Ben-Hadar]], the Chan of 3rd edition is mostly an expansion upon the lore we were presented with in 2nd edition.

As in 2e, the Chan of 3e dwells within the Palace of Unseen Contemplation upon the Plane of Air; a floating castle built entirely from the purest glass, which was fashioned for her as a gift by [[Sunnis]] from the finest sand of the Plane of Earth. Numerous observations of the multiverse are etched on various glass panels in Auran and Vaati, though the most important secrets are locked away where only Chan knows how to get them. A gracious hostess, Chan welcomes all who have a sincere desire to meditate into her home.

In form, Chan is an amorphous mass; See Invisibility will reveal only a translucent cloud, whilst True Sight will reveal a shifting cloud ringed by powerful air currents and with darker patches of vapor forming vague but feminine and serene facial features. Personality-wise, Chan is someone who enjoys mental tests and puzzles, and much of her free time is spent looking for ways to test her wits. Whilst somewhat aloof, she is ultimately well-meaning and benevolent. She believes in waiting to strike at just the right moment.

Though she struggles eternally against the machinations of [[Yan-C-Bin]], Chan's war with him is a cold war, based on silent threats and eternal secret gathering. Each watches the other as they roam the multiverse, relying on bluff and misdirection to counter the other.

Whilst she doesn't seek to forge an army, Chan's following is very large. She is served by [[elemental]]s, [[genie|djinn]], [[sylph]]s, [[fairy|fey]] of various types, and all manner of flying creatures, such as arrowhawks, air [[mephit]]s, [[Elemental Weird|air weird]]s, invisible stalkers and spirits of the air. Her close allies include [[Guardinal|Talisid's Five Companions]] (particulrly Sathia and Kharash), [[Koriel]] (God of [[Ki-Rin]]), [[Syranita]] (God of [[Aarakocra]]) and [[Aerdrie Faenya]] (God of [[Avariel]]) - as such, it should be no surprise that she is also popular with their mortal servants. Other creatures known to serve or venerate Chan include [[hollyphant]]s, shedu, shenmurvs, cloud giants, giant eagles, [[pegasus|pegasi]] and any other flying creature.

Perhaps Chan's closest ally is Ty-h'kadi, Prince of Thunder & Lightning, the ruler of the storm elementals. They regularly work together, and Chan considers it her responsibility to stop it when he flies into one of his destructive rages. When even her presence isn't enough to calm him, she will battle him to a stand-still.

She's also been known to barter intelligence with Ehkahk the Smoldering Duke, although his overwhelming concern for his own self-preservation makes for a wavering alliance at best.

Aside from Yan-C-Bin, Chan's greatest enemy is a [[Demon Prince]]ss named Lissa'aere the Noxious, a sapient mass of poisonous mist that often works with Yan-C-Bin.

In 3rd edition, Chan is unique amongst the goodly Archomentals in that she took no part of the great War of Law and Chaos; when she saw that the vaati were willing to make common ground with creatures of Lawful Evil, instead of making the side of Law also the side of Good as she had originally believed, she turned her back on both.

Chan's titles include The Silent One and Glorious Zephyr, whilst her symbol is an eye within a silver circle. She appeared alongside her fellows in issue #353 of [[Dragon Magazine]]
