Isla Rhona, The Darkflame Lady

Minor Goddess of Fire, Trickery, Corruption, Riches, and Hatred

My father taught me everything I knew about hate. He did raise me that way, after all. Raised me to hate.   Hate the giants. Hate those who sleighted me. Hate chaos. Hate the greedy. Hate, Hate, Hate.   Turns out, hating everything is a whole lot easier - and if you ask me, a whole lot fairer.
— Isla Rhona
  Titles: The Darkflame Lady, The Arch-Corrupted, The Fiery Trickster, The Accumulator, The Spiteful One, The Fallen   Favored Weapon: Dwarven Maulaxe   Alignment: Chaotic Neutral   Church Moniker: Church of the Darkflame Lady   Obedience: Spend an hour carefully writing down the names of your current friends and what might best be used to tempt them from their paths. Do so in the presence of a fire or other immense source of heat. Once done, tuck the note somewhere close to your chest.   Obedience Effect: As an immediate action in response to someone using the words "I Wish" to express a desire or longing, you can channel the unholy temptations of Isla Rhona to manifest something related to that desire or longing on your person - though this is a low-power effect that should not be able to replicate an effect exceeding the power of a 2nd or 3rd level spell. If you can read the thoughts of another, you can trigger this off a thought with the same words as a prerequisite. Additionally, fires you set ignore the fire resistance and immunity of materials near them(Not creatures), and each instance of fire damage you deal becomes half negative energy if doing so would be beneficial to the effect in question.

Artifacts

Though Isla Rhona's artifacts were utterly destroyed during her corruption at the hands of Hela, The Soulthirster, a wholly new artifact has been born from the ashes of her corruption to take the place of her old artifacts - a fearsome artifact of her faith known as The Magmatic Maw said to, when properly constructed, allow for her followers to form an extraplanar bridge into the very body and soul of Isla Rhona herself; allowing for a variety of uses ranging from the torment of the unfaithful, the feeding of heretics to Isla Rhona herself, the extraction of powerful earth, lava, and other minerals from within her body, and much more.

Tenets of Faith

Wear the mask of friendship. Earn the trust of others to better bring about their fall.
 
Set the world alight. Ignite the sparks to profit from the blaze and the ashes that follow.
 
Expand your coffers. Never make a bad deal and always maximize your profits. Great wealth is great purpose.
 
Let out the burning hate. Hate must be acted upon, never bottled - let out your hatreds openly and with pride, and help others do the same.
 
Tempt and Corrupt. Lead others from the paths they walk and delight in their fall. No cost is too high to convince another to abandon what they hold most dear.

Holidays

Divine Goals & Aspirations

To twist and corrupt Dwarven and Giant gods alike in revenge for her own corruption.   To consume the planescape in black flames.   To teach others of the hatred she now feels towards all things.   To protect and keep Hela and her followers safe from their enemies as thanks for opening her eyes to hatred.

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.
