Nes (/Nehs/)

"She Who Smites Within the Twilight"

The Lightbringer

Nes is the deity of light and zealotry. Her followers are literal knights in shining armor who endeavor to bring practitioners of the dark arts to justice. Nes is simply depicted as a bright-runed sword slicing through the gloom and darkness.
Those who fight in service of Nes take on the title of inquisitor, and places of worship dedicated to her are known as chapels. Chapels are often erected near battlefields or areas tainted by the forces of darkness to ward off their influence. It is said that any undead that approaches such a chapel is set aflame by her light.
Nes' teachings are contained within the Song of Swords in The Triad Song. Nes is an apostle of Merak, peer to Pyriel, and sister of Jix) (with whom she has a tepid relationship) through their shared father Sola-Rin. Nes despises Zakrul and strikes against his shroud at every opportunity, and she abhors Khal for his stance on the Fallen Ways. Mahth dislikes her, for she stole his magic to power her runeblades, though she does not have much hate for him.

The Unwithering Force

It is known that those who fight against the Fallen Ways shall slowly decay and become undead under the persistent influence of simple contact. Followers of Nes believe that she staves off this decay and grants them immunity to these influences. Inquisitors who spend much time fighting the undead do, indeed, seem to be more resistant than most to such corruption, though they also do not treat it lightly. Whether by calculated prophylaxis or legitimate divine force, Nes' inquisitors are thought to be resistant to undeath and necromancy.
