Erythra
Goddess of Mourning Erythra
Erythra, the Goddess of Mourning, embodies the profound sorrow and solace that follow loss. Draped in flowing crimson robes, she is the veiled keeper of grief, her presence a quiet comfort to mortals and gods alike. Erythra is said to walk the world unseen, her whispered words reaching those in despair, offering them the strength to bear their burdens. Known as the Eternal Mourner, she reminds all that grief is not a weakness but a testament to the love and bonds that endure beyond death. Her sacred role bridges the gap between sorrow and healing, allowing mortals to honour their loss while finding peace in the memories of what was cherished.
Though solemn in her duties, Erythra is not an unyielding figure of despair. Her guidance is tender and empathetic, often depicted as a hand on the shoulder or a soft voice in the silence of mourning. She inspires rituals of remembrance, from funeral pyres that light the night sky to the weaving of crimson shrouds symbolising the cycle of life and death. In her, mortals find solace, knowing that their grief is seen, their loss respected, and their love eterna

Quotes & Catchphrases
’When the night weeps and the stars dim their glow,
Erythra walks where the broken hearts go.
Her veil, a river of blood and flame,
Woven from love that sorrow cannot tame.
The pyres sing of lives once bright,
Their embers dance, a lament to the night.
For grief is a garden where memories bloom,
Roots deep in the shadow, petals bright in the gloom.
She whispers, “From ashes, the soul does rise,
Bound not by flesh, but love that never dies.”’
