Dinem-sidem is a goddess of fear. She is great about having information regarding danger, but not so great about providing specific details for steps to take once danger appears. Everyone knows she advises us toward fight or flight, but she also can advise: "connect with others and get some help." Dinem-sidem can be scary and there's another god entirely who is the god of the fear of Dinem-sidem.

She, as the goddess of fear, excels at starting scary stories, but she likes to just start the stories, keep them vague, and let you fill in the gaps.
