Kadine (Kə diːn')

Symbols:

An outward spiral with the phases of the moon above it. Balanced scale with an hourglass as the body.

Physical Form Appearance:

.A young child with deep gray eyes wearing silver/gray robes that seem just a little too long for her, her hair is gray/white that would normally be seen on a person of advanced age.

Personality/Demeanor:

Kadine knows that her primary form is offsetting to those who know who she is and this rarely if ever bothers her. She is very precise with her statements and will make extremely accurate statements. An example that has been told is when she said that one of the family farm animals was sick and she told her father that the animal would die right after the family sat for dinner. True to her word the animal was found dead after the family had completed their evening meal. She never uses vague terms of time but specific events that will coincide with what she is speaking of, however, the ideas of specific and vague are left open to interpretation. e.g. The castle will burn upon the rising of the darkest star on the eastern horizon during the season of planting. Should someone be foolish enough to attempt an attack on her, she can either instantly age them to venerable and all stats are dropped 6 points (not below 1), or attack them with her scythe that has a +3/+3 (+4/+4 if undead) modifier to hit and damage, she can stop time and attack them up to 5 times in a round (going first and last in the round, as she always gets the initiative)

History/Ascension:

It was purported that she was born on the day of a full eclipse and that she was born with white/grey hair. Created the first calendar based on astronomical events. The other deities of the pantheon

Notes & Remarks: Under no circumstances will she foretell or her priest foretell the future for anyone except in vagaries, cryptic phrases or nonsensical rhymes (but they will reference specific inevitable events). Any priest of Kadine will attack an undead; not blindly but will do all in their power to ensure that they are returned to the dirt, this also does not mean they will directly attack it, but if needed will hire a group to dispatch the offending being.
Oracles are children born on a lunar eclipse or with silver hair or on the same day an oracle dies; this is dependent upon the location and the specific belief of the area the child is born. If a child is born with all 3 of these events they are immediately brought into the church and trained in the ways of a high priest/ess of Kadine. A newly identified high priest/ess must make at least one uniquely made hourglass or water clock in their lifetime that is to be put in a new temple of their creation.
