In times when I am gone, mourn for what you once had. In times when I return, enjoy it while it lasts.

The Ao-Ti Goddess

Sirakya is the tuan-ti serpent goddess of neutrality, ambivalence, and stillness. Within the universe of Brinomir, she is one among the Three Serpents, Shui and Tilesh being the other two. Together thay are three beings but one mind, as they have continually existed throughout time, flowing with the natural path of mortality and taking turns ruling over each other based on the state of the realms. In times of evil and war, Tilesh rules. In times of greatness and goodness, Shui rules. And in times of uncertainty and descent, Sirakya rules.
During the Cosmic War, the three each formed their own kind, using them to help manipulate mortals and guarantee their own rule. They were known as the Yuan-Ti. Of Tilesh were the Qing-Ti. Of Shui were the Xiao-Ti, and of Sirakya the Ao-Ti.
Sirakya represents a land's normalcy, where its people wake and sleep without glorious extravagence or bitter pain. She is the day that sweeps by, and one lays down, having done nothing at all. She is the total ruler over the other serpents in lands that have lost their ambition and sanctity, but have only just begin their death throes that will eventually lead to the chaos that ushers in Tilesh's time. When it is ultimately rescued from his terror and brought back into the embrace of Shui, mortal fate will eventually numb itself to the blessings of the Infinite Serpent and fall back into Sirakya's mysterious melancholy again.

Dwelling

Sirakya rules with Shui and Tilesh within the Tower of Scales in the Veil, a divine place within the Yuan-Ti lore. Quiet and timid souls in the veil are taken by Tilesh, where they are grafted into mysterious serpent spirits that numb zealots and quiet hearts.

Domains

Sirakya represents the following domains:
Peace. Life goes on whether one does something or not. To aid someone is a waste of your life, and to kill someone is a waste of their's. To do neither is Sirakya's balance.
Trickery. Sirakya looks not to purpose, but mystery, and prefers manipulating others into a life that cannot distinguish what is right and what is wrong, and does not know what to do. Her followers of any culture may switch sides on a frequent basis just to stir the pot.

Alignment

Sirakya represents the following alignment:
Neutral. Sirakya detests acts of objective evil and good, and seeks mystery and confusion. She wishes not to build a land up nor tear it down, honor a man nor disgrace him. She desires the day when one goes through the motions.

Symbol

The common holy symbol used to represent Sirakya is a Chui medallion, a circular object depicting a white, grey, and black area. The grey segment is pointed upward when honoring Sirakya.

Her presence is neither a curse nor a blessing. In times that brim with brilliance or choke with blood, she is simply quiet, and a breath of still air.
