Allishae

Allishae, also known as Moon Mother, Goddess of the Final Rest, and Fate Weaver, is the goddess of death, fate, and the moon. She is also considered the Goddess of winter, the passage of time, twilight, and the transition between life and death.

Since her Domain is over Death and all that has to deal with the subject, she has a long history with the Goddess Sorentas. 

Description

Appearance

She takes the form of a skeletal wolf enveloped in shadow essence, but the shadow does not envelope the skull. Her humanoid form is that of a woman with a wolf skull for a mask, has long black hair, and wears a cloak made from a black wolf’s hide.

Symbol

Her common iconography is that of a wolf's skull. However, different regions of the world will add various characteristics; such as her long black hair behind the skull, or a black mane behind the skull. Some say within the Underfell her symbol is that of her tower.

The Underfell

Allishae resides in her Plane of the Underfell. The Underfell is known by most mortals as the first step into the afterlife. This realm welcomes those that have passed on as a permanent residence, or as a place of judgement before entering their chosen Deities afterlife. Allishae's realm welcomes those who have worshipped her or have found no solace in the Deities during their life. The Underfell is a dark reflection of what the Material Plane looks like.

Biography

Background

Allishae was originally a mortal who was the Champion of the previous deity of death. She rose into the position once they were slain in the Diathan War. The memory of the previous diety was completely wiped from history, and the gods themselves will not speak of their name. Many will debate whether she was just a follower of the previous diety or a lover. 

Her place within the Diathan Pantheon is rocky. Some deities see her as an equal, but others see her ascension as a disgrace against their fallen brethren. Her only close connection in the Diathan Pantheon is with Edemontea. Allishae's sworn enemy is Sorentas.

Worshippers

Not many heavily worship Allishae other than the clerics of her church. Many only pray to her in times of death, or to keep death at bay. Many fear that if they speak her name, they will invoke death unto themselves. 

The clerics of Allishae normally do not leave their temples unless they are invoked for funerals or even to speak to the dead in certain circumstances. Some cities and kingdoms will call upon the worshippers to speak with the departed to solve crimes.

Relations

Edemontea

Allishae's only close relationship is with Edemontea. Since her accession, Edemontea has always had a fascination with her. They are polar opposites; she is the Goddess of Death, and he the God of Life. Both of their personality are opposite as well. Allishae always holds herself as cool, calm, and collected, while Edemontea is playful, joyous, and flirty. 

Sorentas

Allishae and Sorentas have a history before her ascension into godhood. They were known to be good friends, some believe they were even siblings. Their relationship began to strain when Sorentas began to delve into teachings of Necromancy. During the Diathan War, Sorentas ascended into godhood and killed the previous deity of death. With their last dying breath, the previous diety of death ascended Allishae into godhood. At the end of the Diathan War, Allishae, along with Silica, banished Sorentas from the Material Plane.
