The Grimlady

Malkenna, the Grimlady is the praiseworthy goddess of death, and prophecies, and is commonly worshiped by morticians, exhumers, gravekeepers, Shadar-kai and Visig Drow. She is the Third Rung of the Divine Tribunal of the Visig Dominion.
In Wylandria, worship of her is taboo and oftentimes criticized.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
There are two interpretations of The Grimlady. In the Visig Dominion, she is described as a Drow woman with a black (or gray) cloak. In the Wylandrian Empire she is described as a woman with staunch, black hair and angular features. Both interpretations have raven iconography associated with The Grimlady.
=== Personality ===
The Grimlady is seen as an entirely neutral entity in Wylandria. She spins the threads of fate and plucks the lifeforce of those who near death. Whereas, in the Visig Dominion, she is seen as a guardian of the natural life cycle and a force of order.
== Commandments of The Grimlady ==
== Artifacts ==
The only divine ordnance of The Grimlady, is Fatal. This longbow is said to only arrive in the hands of those who are prophesized to do more, but may just meet an untimely end. A great many mortals claim to have wielded Fatal, and the Lorekeepers rarely contest these claims.
== Known worshipers ==
None.
== Holy days ==
The Grimlady's sole holy period is Samhain Time. During Samhain Time, the veil between the Shadowfell, the Realm of the Dead, and the Material Plane becomes blurred and weakened. Apparitions, appearances from passed loved ones, ancestors are common and immigration from Shadowfell creatures spikes during this time.
