## Lore

### Origin

Aldirre was born in the standard way of a Moon Child; when parts of the Moons Dalahothimbane and Rumination came into contact, fusing to form the Lesser Goddess as a combination of aspects of the Moons that created her, in this case revenge. As a Moon Child, she can safely reside on the Material Plane in her true form without causing catastrophic destruction like the Moons.

Soon after she was born, she began wandering the surface of Vulcan seeking those who had sworn oaths of vengeance, eventually meeting Ferendéma the Lesser God of Philosophy. They had a conversation and, as a child of Regin, patron of dwarves, he liked the sheer dedication to settling scores that she possessed; relating it to his teachings of those that have done wrong to others taking portions of their soul, and only through the carrying out of grudges may those parts of the soul be reclaimed. Aldirre took this literally and, paranoid that her father the dragon Moon of curses had taken a portion of her soul, now seeks to get it back.

### Worship

Aldirre is widely worshipped among many races, as where there is war, there are those seeking revenge. However, no race worships her as fervently as the dwarves, who have long memories and are willing to scour the ends of Vulcan should something separate them from their accrued treasures.

Due to her nature and allegiance in The Schism of The Moons; her cult actively seek out and attack worshippers of Eallsmyth and of deities allied with it.

### Involvement in The Schism of The Moons

Aldirre remains neutral in The Schism of The Moons, seeing little reason to involve herself neither side has significantly slighted her.

### Involvement with The Party

Aldirre has not directly involved herself with The Party, however does take an interest in the actions of Vellig, who venerates her.
