Maliessence
Aliases Goddes of the Damned, Lady of Chains, The Forsaken Swan.
Deity Type Lesser Goddess
Alignment Chaotic Evil
Patron Races Elves
Domains
Malice: Every breath of hate screams her name.
Slaughter: The thrill of ultimate domination, power, and grace is not simply taking a life... but many.
Serpents: The Serpents were her first born, her mouth pieces that whispers honeyed lies into the ears of mortals.
Arachnids: The Spiders were her second born, her eyes and ears upon a world that hated and scorned her.
Symbol
Manifestation
Appearance Maliessence is portrayed as a gaunt maiden bound in chains. Her slim form is almost corpse-like and even as distorted and twisted as she may now be it is clear she was once as beautiful as the Wolf Goddess or even Vexia Katar. She is never depicted wearing any form of clothing or jewelry so only her floor length frost white hair and rusty blood stained chains cover her sickly body.
Presence Her presence steals away mortal breath and inflicts upon their slow suffocating forms a great inferno of passion and rage. One must fight for every pain filled breath they take in the presence of this fell deity... while fending off urges of hate and lust.
Personality A wrathful and passionate Goddes who strikes down those who'd dare to fail her. She prefers to keep her distance from the other deities and holds a personal vendetta against her elder brothers Paladar and Na'Tally.
Structure
Temples Her temples are built only by the Chained Elves in the great depths of the underdark. These towering spires hold up the great caverns that the Chained Elves build their cities of stone, sinew, and bone. Few can stand the horrific sight of these grand spires as they are composed of obsidian wrapped in the preserved skins of Black and White Elves slain by the Clan's warriors. It is a gruesome display of their hatred and spite towards the surface-dwelling elves.
Shrines None

Sorriel (Elvish for 'Sorrow')
Sorriel is Maliessence's own whip, this weapon upon contact with a living creature inflicts such pain and agony it brings even lesser Gods to their knees. The thorns entwined upon this whip are envenomed with a potent toxin that slowly eats away at the victim's sanity. (+10, On Hit Save vs. DC 25 against paralysis(Bypasses immunity as your stunned by the pure amount of pain. On Hit Save Vs. DC 25 against 1D10 of Wisdom damage.)
Lore
Maliessence was born to the Elven gods of which Paladar and Na'Tally were the eldest, Koriell the first sister, and Dielthorith the final brother. Maliessence was the last born of her siblings and was far to niave and caring to survive the realm she and the other Gods called home. She could not stand to watch her eldest brothers fight with nothing but hate and scorn left between the two. Thus in her hopes to bring her beloved brothers to the arms of peace she descended upon the Elven lands and spread upon the elven kin that were ruled by her brothers an idea of 'acceptance' through ignorance. Many had grown tired of the war... and they turned their backs upon their creators, on their ideals and moralities. In the end however Paladar and Na'Tally learned of this betrayal and it turn had Maliessence bound in chains for her crimes. Those who had turned to follow her were banished to the depths of the earth so that their stain on the Elven honor would not spread further.
