Jynnassal - also known as the Purple God, the Undead Queen and the Magician - is a god mentioned in Viktor Welsh's 'Lost Gods' book.
She presents as a drow with short hair and glowing tattoos. She is usually in tattered robes and sometimes wears bones at the behest of her followers. She is the closest god to Veran and is the youngest - aside from Lethe.
She is associated with magic, necromancy, the Moon, dreams, visions, science, creativity, platonic and romantic relationships. Whilst her and Veran may be at odds, they are often closer to each other than the rest of the Gods. Her name was spoken as often by scholars as lovers.
Her myths are often rather simple tales - mostly to warn students and young lovers of relying too much on her quixotic whims. One such tale is of a wizard Gaiga who prayed often to Jynnassal to help her pass exams. She was often rewarded by Jynnassal and as such, grew well known in her town to the point that the locals started worshipping Gaiga instead of the gods. Enraged by this, Jynnassal appeared and challenged Gaiga to a competition of magic. Jynnassal instructed the townsfolk to collect something dead for both of them to resurrect.
The townsfolk dutifully brought them two old skeletons from the graveyard as no one had died in such a long time. Gaiga went first and resurrected the skeleton as an intelligent dead, talking and walking and knowing of their old life. Jynnassal resurrected hers into an unintelligent skeleton. Gaiga was about to call herself the winner when the skeleton started screaming at their old husband who had remarried. The fight grew intense as old arguments that had long stayed dormant came to the forefront. Eventually, the skeleton killed the husband and their new partner. Jynnassal smiled and advised that as she had one undead and Gaiga had one undead and two newly dead, she had lost. Jynnassal left the village and removed Gaiga's abilities until 'she better learned to control them'.
The story has had many versions, not always using the necromancy angle but often showing that it is a bad idea to annoy a god who ties the strings of fate in your social life.
