Revanna (Rev-ahn-uh)

The Witch Goddess, Angel of Death

Revanna, deity of death and divination, is most often portrayed as a stunning woman dressed in a beautiful black gown, wearing some piece of jewelry with a skull motif. Revnnaa is a demanding deity who expects obedience from her followers. She is the "angel of death." The goddess who takes your spirit and decides your eternal resting place in the afterlife. Revanna herself makes her home on the hellish river of fire Infernus. She resides in Castle Infernus, a dark, foreboding structure that sits astride the flowing river of fire.

Divine Domains

Grave, Knowledge

Holy Books & Codes

The Book of the Dead- a book used by priests to preside over funeral rites and how to handle and dispose of lifeless bodies. As well as the Tome of The Twelve, the history and legends of the gods and the creation of the Natural World.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

The priests of Revanna wear a bronze ring of a flaming skull with rubies in the eye sockets as their holy symbol. Typically clerics of the Witch Goddess are morticians, they wear funeral robes for religious ceremonies, always black and accented with red and tiny vials of holy water.

Tenets of Faith

  1. Honor the dead, for their deeds echo beyond their passing.
  2. The journey beyond life is sacred; do not seek to pervert its course.
  3. Guide souls to their final rest, and let none linger unnaturally.
  4. Fear not death, for it is but a door to the next path.

Holidays

Day of Remembrance: A solemn holiday for honoring the dead, with processions to graveyards, offerings of flowers, and storytelling about ancestors. Revenna is honored with rituals that guide the spirits of the deceased. This day falls on Revanna's month of Gloomsoul.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Upon death each soul is taken by Revanna to Infernus. There she escorts the soul through the fiery river, guiding them to their final resting places. Infernus serves as a purifying crucible where souls are cleansed before their passage to the afterlife. If the mortal was deemed worthy, their soul is taken to sit alongside their god whose tenets they most embodied. If the soul is deemed unworthy they may wander the The Endless Sea, or if a mortal sin was committed, then sent to the Nine Hells to spend an eternity of pain and torture.

Revanna makes no decision on whether a death is just or not; she views all with a cold and uncaring attitude, and decides on which of the Divine Isles, or the Nine Hells a soul will spend eternity. Revanna is also the goddess of prophecy: from the moment a creature is born, she sees what its ultimate fate will be, but reserves final judgement until that soul finally stands before her. As the goddess of death and rebirth, she abhors the undead and considers them a perversion.
