## Avatars

**Swindler Sprite:** this is Vaaya's main form which she is most consistently seen using; it is a somewhat small humanoid Phi'k'sai (pixie) with pale skin dotted with freckles, auburn red hair longer than the sum of her 1 foot height, with a thin but lithe frame holding a magical strength rather than a physical strength.

## Relationships

Vaaya's trickery and chaos has separated her from most of the other deities as he pulled her little pranks which often ended badly and with the victim growing more and more disdainful towards the dexterous rogue, it doesn't help that she has ever-so sticky fingers and love to nab items from other deities when they aren't looking.

**Allied Deities:** Isati, Midiri, Deiha

## Worshippers

Vaaya is worshipped in a somewhat unique way as most of her worshippers express their devotion through trickery, deceit, and creating chaos in the name of Vaaya. The majority of Vaaya's narrative is to create chaos in the name of good spirits, fun, and celebration not for the purpose of destruction or harming anyone, at least not those who do not deserve it. It is not required for one to have a holy symbol dedicated to Vaaya but it is recommended and the symbol that is most often used is a medallion with a lollipop carved into it, filled with red and pink to create the swirling symbol of Vaaya.

### Clergy

Vaaya is one of the few deities which do not have a distinct and defined clergy as most of her dogma encourages chaos and trickery which opposes the natural order of a set and stone clergy however, one clergy does exist and is called the Veiled Servants. The Veiled Servants operate on a need-to-know basis with the ruling priest being at the head of the clergy due to their immense dedication to Vaaya and her dogma, the rest of the clergy is loosely assembled musicians and thieves.

### Dogma

Vaaya expressing disdain to those who create chaos and cause tricks in the hopes of hurting others who do not deserve it, but rather loves tricks done in good fun. These are some of the points her worshippers follow:

* *Take from the rich and give to the poor.*
* *Never steal from someone who needs it more.*
* *Tricks and pranks are to be done with good spirits and fun in mind.*
* *Explore and discover what has yet to be seen.*
