The Morrigan

The Morrigan (a.k.a. Phantom Queen)

The Morrígan are first and foremost three goddesses of war and death. They are also the deities of prophecy and fate, and as such see the future of all things, including the end of the world. The Morrigan are all-knowing, and will occasionally share their knowledge with others for a price. Their prophecies are never wrong and their wordings are exact, if somewhat poetic. Their appearance to royalty and warriors also represents the side she favours in a battle. 
The Morrígan are shapeshifters who take many forms. The most common of these forms are a shapely maiden, a battle-ready warrior-queen, an old crone, and a raven. While they can take the form of other animals beyond a raven, the Morrígan does so less frequently.

Divine Domains
