Helena Bloodalder the Witch Queen

Fey God of Deep Magic, Hags, Occultism, Curses, and Vengeance.

Helena Bloodalder is the creator and god of Deep Magic, tender of the Alder of Curses, and matron to Hags. She is an often reviled god in mortal kingdoms, with her namesake creatures being seen as wild monsters that prey upon rural communities and children. Deep Magic and its ancient ways are even feared throughout the Feywild, and its occult powers are responsible for many of the more pernicious aspects of the Fey Realm’s forests. Despite her poor reputation, Helena Bloodalder is a god who has mended far more crisies than she has caused, and her strange powers are often called upon in times of strife to protect Idris from threats that cannot be harmed through traditional means. Helena Bloodalder is also a god of vengeance, and has sworn an eternal enmity on Shilmetryu the Unfathomable and their Rakshasa for stealing the gift of shapeshifting from her.
TENETS OF HELENA BLOODALDER:
Let no deed go unpunished. An eye for an eye and a soul for a soul.
What mortals call “Magic” is a pale facsimile of something much greater. Seek the secrets of the deep; the true magic of enmity.
Blood must be fed to the Alder of Curses. The life of a single mortal is insignificant next to preserving its ancient power.
Do not become one. Become a part of all.
A curse is justice in its truest form.
