Shrulzeel - The Red Queen

Mistress of the Blades, warfare is precarious and dangerous as a profession, to survive in battle you need your skills to be honed to a razor's edge. Shrulzeel is the personification of excellence in all things that make up the battle. Extreme fitness, unconscionable skill, lavish persistence, towering fortitude, devilish tactics. All these things in balance, sharpened and refined to win any conflict. Battle on a field of war is her staple; battles of the mind, of wit, she will dominate as well. It is best to never play her in a game of chess, for she is the Red Queen, covered in the blood of her enemies. For this, she is worshipped by warriors and soldiers, but also lawyers and the eristic nobility.

Sigrid - Everlasting Grace and Beauty

Sigrid is beauty personified. Perfection in appearance covers a cracked soul, for Sigrid is a very effeminate male not that she will admit it, nor could you tell. To any lost duckling, that feels their feet are the wrong size, Sigrid lets these things roll off her back like water off the duck. But do not peel back the veil of the onion or the rotten core will consume you. Worshippers put physical vanity over all other things,

Silzal - Umbra Prowler

The shadows mask her as like a sleek panther she uses cautious and surreptitious movements to creep up on her prey. Silzal is a night prowler who wants what she wants and takes it plays with it then will discard it when something new comes along. She looks down on things with disdain. She expects what she wants when she wants it, and normally at others' expense. When you feel like your in her favor, in reality, she is only using you to get what you have or marking you as her property. That said her followers fight over themselves to get promoted and be in her favor. She lords over the act of hunting, not the kill or sport of it, not the need for food or the cycle of nature. She is about the chase and takedown, she toys with prey and like a snake will poison it so it can not move; then feeds off its fears, circling it, manipulating it until she is bored. She is favored by thieves, assassins and murderers.

Normal worship of these goddesses is done in more secretive ways. Prayer under the breath, symbols hidden in bodices, small home shrines and the like. Some noble circles maintain cults with secret meetings in the secrecy of high society manners. While they have a following in upper society they are publicly looked down on and taboo by the "good" societies of the world. The condemnation may be the fuel that keeps them burning on in future generations, the proscription attracks the youth like a moth to a flame.
