Avanna, Goddess of the Underworld

(Ah-var-nah) Divine God (Neutral), born from the Fire Titan her job was to guide the spirits of aether to the scales to be judged. Once the corruption started and the gods ascended the mortal plane she did not go to Silia like her fellow gods. Avanna was bound for Vesix, no longer the guide to the spirits she became the ruler of Aether’s worst spirits.

Avanna is often depicted as an eldery human woman, yet being considered rather attractive and a dame for her considerable age.

Avanna’s status as Queen of Underworld has bound her to Vesix. This is because on the plane of Vesix she is worshipped by the souls she rules over, garnering the majority of her power from these souls. On Aether and Silia, worship of Avanna is seldom. Most mortal beings fear her rather than respect her.

The People of Aether fear death and with it the prospects of going to Vesix. Worshipers of Viothism believe that if a soul is judged poorly at the scales by The Crusix they will go to Vesix where they will be tortured for eternity.

Because of this misinformation, little is known of Avanna or Vesix. In reality the plane of Vesix is a frozen, desolate wasteland and Avanna’s stronghold, Ves, is one of the few bastions of warmth on the plane. Avanna cares deeply for the souls that come to her and protects them from the other Blighted and Vesix.

Despite all she did for Aether, Avanna felt she had been betrayed by the other Divines. Over time she came to despise them, to her knowledge, none of them attempted to rescue her from her fate. And for this, she sought revenge. Vesix is a realm far removed from Silia and Aether and that other Divines feel it. Their power is drastically weaker here than anywhere on the planes of Aether.

Avanna seeks to exterminate all life on Aether, in one instance resulting in every soul travelling through purgatory and being judged. With no worshipers on Aether, Themega will lose her god status and be unable to judge the souls. Avanna will then siphon them all to Vesix and her realm.

With all the souls of Aether going to Vesix she will have denied the worship of the other Divines and Blighted, making them mortal and stripping them of their powers. Now with all the power, Avanna will be able to make Vesix the mortal plane of existence with her as the immortal God-Queen. This is her goal.

Avanna’s power and influence on Aether is almost non-existent compared to the other gods. To pull off such a feat would require a massive shift in opinion amongst the people of Aether.

## Evoking Avanna

Evoking Method:

~ Sacrifice a living being and use all of it productively in Avanna’s name.

~ Ooc dice roll, 1-14 success, 15-20 failure.

.

Evoking Result (1 of):

~ Be granted a lantern of green hellfire for 3 days. It will light dark areas and cast them in a green glow for 20ft around the lantern, will cause holy magic wielders to have obnoxiously itchy skin and irritatingly hot ears when within 20ft of the lantern.

Can revive a being smaller than 3ft, provided at least 3 bones are cast into the fire and the soul has not been taken or received eternal rest. It will return flesh to the bone and reap the soul from Purgatory with no injuries and completely as normal, this will use up the hellfire instantly, but you get to keep the gothic steel lantern case!

If the lantern is lost it is lost forever, should you leave the 20ft radius of the lantern it will return to Vesix.

.

Evoking Failure (1 of):

~ The character will feel an intense and nauseating pull towards dangerous and deadly situations in every environment, as though Avanna is pulling on them to enter Vesix, once every 2 turns. This can cause harm, maiming or even death to the character should not be able to resist or have no one to keep them in check. Characters can also be drawn ooc and must act as such.
