Eris, The Mistress of Sorrow

Evil

The Betrayer, and the Corrupter, Eris is a greater god little known by most of mortal kind. Created from the sorrowful tears of Thirsha at the dawn of the mortal world, Eris is a goddess who knows only sorrow, pain, and emptiness. She is the goddess of strife, darkness, and entropy, a cancerous wound in the heart of the world, ever-seeking to return the realm of form and essence that is the material world back to the cold, dark nothingness of the void. She is a meticulous schemer, and her veiled hand has been behind many of the darkest events in the history of the world. She does not deliver commandments to her followers, but the Cult of Shadows which serves her teaches their followers to:

· Sow discord wherever you can, but do so from the shadows.

· Lies are the only truth of this world; use them to your advantage.

· Pursue the obliteration of the world, for it is like a cancer amidst the perfect peace of the empty void.

The holy symbol of Eris is a vial of the cleric’s own tears, which contain all of the cleric’s ability to feel compassion, pain, or regret. Her followers prefer weapons of subtlety and pain, tending toward light blades or flails.
