Talona, the Lady of Poison

The Mother of All Plagues, Mistress of Disease

Talona (tah-low-nah) is often depicted as a withered old crone with a scarred, tattooed face in religious texts. Where she walks, misfortune and death follow. She has the personality of a petulant greedy child trapped in the body of a once-beautiful woman now scarred by horrific disease and ravaged by age. She alternately desires attention at any cost like a small child and becomes aloof like a wounded paramour who has been discarded by her love.   Dogma. Let pain be a pleasure, for life and death are in balance, but death is the more powerful and should be paid proper homage and respect. Death is the true power, the great equalizer, and the lesson that awaits for all. If it falls to you to drive home the point with the top of dagger so, be it. The Mother of All Plagues works upon you from within, and weakness and wasting is her strength. Talona’s breath is forever and always with you, whomever you or the rest of the world believes in or serves. Let all living things learn respect from Talona and pay homage to her goods and in fervent worship. If they do so, intercede for them so that Talona will not claim them – this time. Go and work in Talona’s name and let your doings be subtle or spectacular but make them known as the will of the Mistress of Disease.
