Yecha: The Ferrywoman
Goddess of Death and Passage
Yecha (a.k.a. The Ferrywoman)
The goddess of death and passage, Yecha is seen as an ultimate finality by those in Caeteria who worship The Pantheon. She is often represented as a human woman with waist length black, dread-locked hair, and her face painted in a sugar skull design. She pilots a ferry to transport souls from their place of death to their Afterlife, accompanied by her two hounds, Asturia and Tomis. She cares not for the purity of the souls she transports, for it is not her place to judge them. That is done Beyond The Veil.
Yecha is married to Euphrexetes, The Guard, God of The Afterlife. The two have no children, for they are the only two gods for whom it is impossible to create life.
