Mishakal is the goddess of healing in the fictional Dragonlance setting. She was the goddess that restored knowledge of the true gods to Krynn after the Cataclysm. She is the patron of love and motherhood.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Mishakal is the wife of Paladine and she is the mother of the twins Kiri-Jolith and Habbakuk, as well as Solinari. Mishakal is now the chief god of good because her husband Paladine has been removed from the gods and made mortal. She of course is against Takhisis, head god of evil, but she is also against Morgion and Chemosh, who destroy life.

Clerics of Mishakal were the most numerous of the clerics following the Cataclysm, and Mishakal was the most loved god by the common people. She brought back the gift of divine healing to the world by giving the power first to Goldmoon, who convinced the people of the return of the gods.

Written on several indestructible platinum disks are the teachings of Mishakal known as the Disks of Mishakal. These were part of the dragon Khisanth's hoard in the broken city of Xak Tsaroth. They were later stolen by the Companions.

Mishakal is also called Healing Hand, Blue Lady, Bearer of Life, Light Bringer, Healer in the Home, Empress, Ke-en, Ka-Mel-Sha, Meshal, Mesalax, Quen Illumni, Quensti Pah, Skymistress, and White Lady. Her symbol is the sign for infinity (\infty), and she can be viewed in the night sky over Krynn as the constellation known as Infinity.
