Tenets of Faith
Foster feminine supremacy and nurture the seeds of female power. They are the superior sex and the only ones capable of sound and true rule.
Enforce male inferiority and servitude. Bring about the ruination of men with power, and ensure all men are treated and owned as the animals they are.
Corrupt others slowly. Agonizingly. Take everything from them and that which they hold dearest and make it yours. The possessions of others exist to be taken and made yours.
Spread the taint of death to all creatures and corners of the world, and send the souls of others to my embrace.
Gather Knowledge and collect Memory. Both are most valuable when none but a rare few remember or know of them. Make this scarcity or rarity if needed.

History
After Aurgelmir dealt a near-fatal blow to Isla Rhona during the Great Divine War, the result was the appearance of Hela, the ascendant Goddess who rose to govern the Underworld of The Giant Pantheon, and who rose to embody the women-centric nature of Freyja's followers...and the growing belief that Freyja was stealing Dwarven souls and sending them to eternal torture, and the growing belief her followers had the Freyja was gaining control of the Dwarven afterlife to torture and punish them even in death. Now, as she governs the souls of the faithful of the Giant Pantheon, she is Freyja's closest sister alongside Aurgelmir, and is an omnipresent threat to all Stoneborn Dwarves, who must constantly protect themselves for when they die, lest Hela steal their souls away and send them to an eternity of torture. Ruling from Helheim in the lowest pits of Asgard, she governs the souls and dead of all manner of creatures, and governs her followers.

History
During the Godwar which saw The Dwarven Pantheon brutalized and decimated while The Giant Pantheon ballooned and expanded tenfold, Isla Rhona perhaps suffered the most because of it out of all the Dwarven Gods. Not a fighter in any regard, she was unable to truly help her divine kin on the frontlines of the war against Freyja, The Grand Trampler and her Giant Gods...feeling helpless, she came to hate the entire war which had torn her family apart, and which had introduced so much chaos and death into the world. In time, as the war become more desperate for the side fighting the Giants, Isla Rhona was forced to the frontlines, where she suffered a near-fatal wound at the hands of Aurgelmir, The Powderqueen...split open and nearly dead, she managed to recover, but not before Hela, The Soulthirster performed a vile ritual with a shard of Isla Rhona's true Divine Essence, corrupting her and twisting her until she became what she is now: A flaming embodiment of the helplessness and hatred she felt magnified a thousandfold, who hates both Giant and Dwarf alike for allowing this horrible war to begin in the first place. Emerging as a towering Giantess of hatred and flame, Isla Rhona stayed in the Dwarven Pantheon as she joined the Giants as well, hating both sides equally as she began to plot to corrupt and destroy them all to stop the horrible war that raged. The only exception to her rage is Hela, who corrupted her in the first place...she looks to her as a sister, and is thankful to her for "Opening her eyes". Though she sees worship by Dwarves, she is now split between the two warring Pantheons and her hateful, vicious nature reflects this. She hates both her Father and Freyja...to her, both are equally responsible for the horrible state of the divine realms, and are equal targets for her hatred.
What she takes, no being can afford to lose...she takes their souls. Their minds. Steals all they had and hoards it. Denies all their death's reward and drags them screaming down to eternal torment for her and her faithful's entertainment. Her faith is a disease. A Poison of the most insidious kind. And unless we all want to be insects trapped beneath the feet of the "superior" sex, souls stripped and our minds made pliant and subservient while they happily steal all the knowledge, secrets, and items we once valued, we must stand united to destroy them.
