Neferata

Goddess of the Void & Curses   The Goddess often considered the most dangerous of them all, Neferata is seen as jealous and cruel. She is the one who does not have shrines, but her temple is located in Revia. Though she is less known for her kindness, she is often seen as the Goddess who keeps her promise. As long as the one whom she gave promise did what was agreed upon. For her wrath has no bound. She is best known for her curses, for it is she who created the medusa, one of the deadliest creatures found in the world. It is rumored medusa was born, when a woman tried to decieve the goddess by giving her second most beautiful jewelry owned by the woman. In return Neferata turned the woman's jewelry worn by the woman into snakes that attached to her hair.   She is also the lady of the Void, her realm Umbra, is considered as one of the most dangerous for mortal to ever enter. For only one has survived the entering and leaving the void. Hero known as Cairon. An elf who sang his way through the void, while looking for his father's spirit. Neferata had managed to resist the elf's song that put all denizens of the Void to sleep. In return letting Cairon and his father to pass safely back to the land of the living, Neferata took part of Cairon's golden hair as payment. Sadly this proved to be a trick, for when Cairon died, he couldn't be considered as pure soul. Due the part of his essence being trapped in the void. Evernus cast Cairon to the Void, preventing his beloved wife from ever uniting in Necrophidia.   Worship and Holy Day   Worshipping Neferata is often frowned upon by the public, though none dares to say so out loud. Often her name is invoked by the assassins, scorned lovers and those wishing harms to their enemies. Blood is considered as only value to her and those wishing to make an offering has to give something of value to themselves. Scorned lovers offer their loved one's soul as payment for the punishment. Or first born of the family is taken in the night. No one knows who are the priests or priestesses of the Neferata, for the priests wear deep blue and purple robes with hoods and ornate masks to hide their features.   Neferata's holy day is 1st of Nerarii, a day many openly sacrifice an animal in their home for her. In hopes to gain her protection from any curse or harm.
