Lady Lyshara - Goddess of Oppression
The embodiment of cruelty and oppression, Lady Lyshara is as alluring as she is terrifying, known for her harem of slaves that she torments, humiliates, abuses, and even rides, using heavy and obstructive ornaments.
She marries sexual decadence with oppression, worshiped often by deviants looking to mix pain with their pleasure. There is no love, trust, or care paid from worshipers of Lyshara, such that may be from a healthy relationship of a dominant and submissive, or equal footing like between an indentured servant working off a debt to a kind and patient owner. No, their ideals are far more visceral and wicked, sometimes even resulting in death from neglect...all fine and accepted under Lyshara's domain.
A worshiper's ideals will be determined on their submissive or dominance. Submissive followers of Lyshara will honor servitude and find delight in punishment. They are often seeking powerful individuals to guide and abuse them. Dominant followers will tout that it is their divine right to own another humanoid, and like furniture around the house, do with them as they see fit without consent or heed.
Commonly worshiped by: Slavers, Sexual hedonists, Masochists/Sadists.

Quotes & Catchphrases
I will show you purpose in pain...
ahh, yes. Sex and debauchery. I commend you, few venture here, and it makes me sad cause the worldbuilding that can come from up is insane. I also very much so appreciate how you make a VERY clear difference between bdsm and other kinks with what were talking about here. The fact that you blend her terror with her beauty is also interesting. Great work, sorry i keep saying it but really.
It was definitely a razor's edge I had to walk. I don't want my work to seem desperate or like a parody of actual fantasy, but lust and the abuse of lust is an actual thing that's been around since the dawn of man. To neglect to acknowledge it feels empty.
Indeed, i agree entirely. It is hadd line to cross indeed but youre doing so with surprising grace.
