Nestaia is invoked particularly for protection in battle, and is also the god of good order. His insignia appears in the royal coats of arms of Northland and Trésard. In fact he is merely a masculine manifestation of Minasaia, although he almost never makes manifestations except when called upon in times of defence of the isles.
His worship has declined in recent centuries, with worship of Ketrorl now more popular amongst men and warriors.
