In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Xan Yae is the Baklunish goddess of Twilight, Shadows, Stealth, and Mental Power. She was served by the demigod, Zuoken, before he vanished in 505 CY. She is a close ally of the Cat Lord, Rexfelis, and opposes Pholtus and Pyremius.

[edit] Clergy and temples

Though a Baklunish goddess, Xan Yae has some measure of popularity throughout the Flanaess, especially among monks.

One of Xan Yae's better-known monasteries beyond the Baklunish Basin is the Twilight Monastery, located three hours northwest of Diamond Lake in the Cairn Hills.
