These are some of the characters you could have gotten as your patron spirit from the quiz.
Arra the Explorer

Basla - The Maiden
Basla the Maiden is the patron spirit of rescuers and first responders. She is the one prayed to for the safe rescue of people, especially children. She is also considered to look over children for safety and healing and is associated with bringing those who are near death back to life as well as the link between those beseeching the spirits and the spirits themselves. She is depicted with golden beads in her hair, dark brown skin, and a bright yellow dress and often placed as the Tea Lady's companion. She is associated with the sun and the summer solstice.
Ber From Tand
Ber from Tand is a spirit from the old Sun Empire. He was a Sun Knight and is patron spirit to knights and soldiers, he is also associated with healing and a popular figure in stories
Calif the Bloody
Not sure how you ended up with Calif as your patron because she’s shitty so I’m kind of judging you and definitely not trusting you maybe retake the quiz. Calif the Bloody is a goddess of death: specifically bringing it. She demands absolute loyalty from her followers and gives out favors only when they serve her. She is associated with blood and red and death. And, according to legend, she is locked away beneath a mountain bound by a magic sealed with blood.
Chair the Pirate
Chair the Pirate is patron of pirates and wanderers, of restless teenagers and young adults who want to see the world, experience the world, discover something different. She is protector of those on a journey to find themselves. She is associated with whirlwinds, storms, and cats.
Den the Shining
Den is a spirit of loyalty and justice, of seeing the best in people and of truth, of the intersection of kindness and knowledge, that hope is not naive. He is the one judges pray to for guidance in their judgement and the accused for their freedom and mercy. He is also the patron spirit of hunters and woodworkers. He is associated with the sun, light, spears, and the colors yellow, orange, and white.
Fel Dran the Thief
Fel Dran is the spirit of thieves, of the poor, of those fighting the corruption of the rich and powerful for the sake of those they exploit. He is also a spirit that those who have been wronged at the moment of death can pray to for justice.
The role of Fel Dran the Thief and The First Apprentice became titles, passed down from one person to the next. They are servants of the first two spirits, and all those who came after them continued the work. The current title holders are seen as the closest link to the spirits. They are associated with coins, small statues, and the color green (not related to money- money isn’t green).
Fren of the Fire Birds
Spirit of knowledge and magic and birds. Those who want access to education, who want protection fighting for their rights, pray to Fren. Firebirds are sacred to Fren. The Fish Blood symbol of the Sun Desert Mages is also associated with Fren, as are the colors red, blue, and black. Students who hope to do well on tests also often pray to Fren for guidance… and luck.
The Green Dragon
The Green Dragon is the patron spirit of lethean knights. More broadly, she is the patron spirit of gamblers and drinkers. Gators and Crocs and those in that family are considered sacred to her, and the northern aurora is called the Rellele - the Green Dragon’s Fire. It is said that those who see it are under her protection.
Gurenri Yarrich the Blessed
Originally a person rescued by the spirits as a child, she was considered blessed. Upon her death, she was raised to the status of a spirit and prayed to as such. She is considered the patron of the physically disabled and of priestesses and priests of the temples. She is also the spirit who is said to look out for the temples themselves. Although she personally was not a healer, she is prayed to watch out for those recovering from burns and fires. She is associated with the color white, fire, and dogs.

He is associated with red, war flowers, and sheep and the end of war and start of peace. His name is invoked, but unfortunately unlike the rest of the spirits on this list… he basically decided to fuck off to the mountains to raise sheep and ignore the fact he’s a major deity. Really, the only ones who get answers are sheep herders asking for protection, to find lost sheep, and fair weather.
