Rayna, the Righteous Goddess
The Righteous Goddess is one to be feared. Above all, she strives for justice and order in this world. Should anyone break the laws in her presence, she will smite them without hesitation.Rayna is the second youngest of the major gods, but one of the most well known and liked by many. Most notably, she harbors a resentment towards her younger brother Zayad, The Depraved, for his desire to wipe out the peoples of Farore. It is said that when she looks for a champion (note: this is not the same as a paladin), she is able to peer into their hearts and see each and every sin they have committed. Should she find them wanting, she withdraws any blessing that she might have bestowed.
