11.8.14 Keresis, Goddess of Vengeance
The Goddess Keresis was slain on Nishnatoba in 613 AF by Bal'met, the Worldreaver. Vengeance is well known to the population of Sapience. Each mortal and denizen has felt the all-consuming desire for revenge and the emotionless plotting that kindles after the flames die. Keresis, Goddess of Vengeance was the avatar of these urges and Her realm embodied both the passionate and the cold-hearted. Once a dreadlord under the command of the God Shaitan, Keresis is not apologetic for Her ways, and She cared little for those who wished to be coddled and led down the path of true Vengeance. Those who embodied Her teachings were Her children, and She was their harsh but loving mother. Her Divine symbol was of a sword pointing down with a large python twisting around the blade. Perched upon the pommel of the blade is a large crow with its wings outspread.
