Pan is the patron of Aria, above all other places. He resides within their lush forests, sipping wine and eating sumptuous feasts. He is the benefactor of musicians, artists and liberals. He exults in beauty of the eye and ear, and loves nothing more than hearing delightful music. It is said that his pipe plays such sweet melodies that all who hear him fall under his spell. Some might consider him frivolous, and certainly he is. Pan is considered a being of passions and enjoyment. As such, he never suffers from lack of followers, though their worship may not always be steadfast. In Aria, he is prayed to for inspiration, and there his influence is taken quite seriously.

Pan is also a spirit of the flesh. He delights in worldly pursuits, such as wine, intoxicants, and sex. While many share his ideologies, there are others who disdain his reckless abandon. Artists and musicians revere him as a muse. The Bards of Aria worship him above all others. There are also less reputable types among his faithful; such as drunkards, addicts and rapists.
