Kiaransalee Kiaransalee ( " kee " - uh - " ran " - sa - lee ) was a drow lesser deity , also known as the Lady of the Dead , The Revenancer or The Vengeful Banshee . Her portfolio included vengeance and the undead . Kiaransalee was a cruel , twisted and vengeful deity . The Lady of the Dead became insane ages ago ; however , she managed to keep her cunning and she could still clearly remember every slight or insult towards her , whether it was real or imagined . Kiaransalee was swift to anger , powerful , and against all who have wronged her she plotted a dark revenge . The Lady of the Dead preferred company from the mindless undead she could manipulate at will , over sentient beings that are possessed of independent thought . She rarely trusted anyone else to do justice to her vision and thus preferred to settle her problems herself . Worshipers . Kiaransalee ' s clergy comprised of orderly regimented cells , but the faith lacked in overall organization . The Revenancer ' s cleric s were mostly found in small drow communities or in special enclaves , and acted constantly in secret . Her clerics were agents of vengeance who plotted against anyone who ever slighted the faith . They regularly organised slaying missions to acquire corpses for animation , and were very active in persecuting slaves . Higher - ranking priestesses were called Yathrinshee . Many clerics multiclassed as necromancer s . A few of the church also joined the Cult of the Dragon and became Wearers of Purple . Eventually , most became undead themselves . Rituals . Clerics of Kiaransalee prayed for their spells at midnight , the time of day in which spirits are most restless . Each individual cleric performed a handful of minor devotions to Kiaransalee each month . The Graverending . The single annual holy day of the faith was called the Graverending and was celebrated each Midwinter Eve . The Graverending was an individual ritual , where each cleric animated as many undead as she could handle . These undead were known as the Vengeance Hunters and they were consumed only with a desire for revenge against those that ended their lives . They hunted down this killer unerringly within 24 hours . When a Vengeance Hunter was destroyed it did not rise again . These undead returned to their graves after their 24 hours or after their vengeance had been executed , if possible . Relationships . Kiaransalee had many foes and only loose allies . In the hopes of loosening Lolth ' s web she allied herself with such deities as Hoar , Velsharoon , Malar , and Vhaeraun . Her chief enemies were Deep Duerra , Dumathoin , Eilistraee , Kelemvor , Laduguer , Jergal and the Demon lord Orcus . History . Kiaransalee was , in her mortal life a powerful lichdrow necromancer - queen from another plane . Upon becoming a demigod , she was made an unwilling vassal of Lolth and was until shortly before her death . She was only capable of small acts of rebellion against Lolth . Kiaransalee once took over Orcus ' s realm but was repelled by the resurrected demon prince not long afterwards . She was then completely aimed towards destroying every trace of the demon lord of the undead . During the Silence of Lolth , Kiaransalee received a massive influx of worshipers that elevated her from the rank of demigod to Lesser deity . After the silence ended , Kiaransalee joined the sava game between Lolth and Eilistraee as a 3rd party faction . In order to have a one - on - one fight with Lolth , she dedicated her moves towards eliminating Eilistraee from the game . In the end though , she was defeated by Eilistraee ' s wizard piece , Q ' arlynd Melarn in a High Magic ritual that wiped her name from the minds of all mortals and gods , even Kiaransalee herself . Without worshipers she instantaneously faded from existence along with her demiplane .
