Sakhet
(a.k.a. Lady of Slaughter, The Gleaming One, She Who Mauls)
Sakhet is the Bennuan goddess of war, storms, healing, and the desert. She is normally portrayed as a female Bennu wearing the pelt of a lion over her head and shoulders, wielding a khopesh in her right hand with a shield on her left arm. Despite her fearsome visage, Sakhet is known to be an extremely benevolent deity toward her most ardent followers, which span from warriors to physicians. She is primarily depicted as a protector, and is thought to personally defend the souls of fallen warriors until their bodies can be retrieved for proper funerary rites. Sakhet is not one for temples, and only has two which are currently inhabited. The first is in Kydyras, and this sanctuary acts as a school where healers from across the continent come to learn the most advanced techniques the Bennu have to offer. The second protects the entrance to the Valley of Blades, a pyramid-studded landscape where the most revered Bennuan warriors are laid to rest."The Lady of Slaughter does not bow. Nor shall I."- A unknown Bennuan prisoner's last words before their execution by Gorgorian forces, Dissention Age
