Balidris is the goddess of air and wind in the Church of Meh. Balidris is named for the ballistospore, a spore that many fungi fire into the air using a tiny drop of water and a precise, explosive snap. Balidris receives every spore that has ever trusted itself to the sky, and has kept an eye on each one.

There was Balidris, the goddess of air and wind and the great dispersal, the one who receives every spore that has ever trusted itself to the atmosphere. Balidris has watched every single one. This has taken a very long time, and Balidris finds it completely absorbing.
