Etansima is the deity of sacrifice, isolation, and preservation. He spends most of his days in meditation to sharpen his fortitude and his senses. Strength is a great responsibility to Etansima, and he has a personal oath to never kill those who have not killed another. He treats all his siblings equally and does not have regard for rank or power, which upsets some. As a deity, he is popular amongst hermits and monks. He excels at dance. His closest friends are Keivodir and Lonmorus.
Etansima's symbols are granite, the hound, and prayer beads. His armament of choice are the brass knuckles.
