UBARIYA
The Dark Mother
The Mother of Unclaimed Souls
The Weaver Uncaring; The Lady of Seven Eyes
Ubariya (oo-BAR-ee-uh)
Symbol: A spider dangling from a strand of web
Home Plane: the Black Chasm: the walls of the Black Chasm are a fractured black stone supporting strands of web that form intricate and sometimes beautiful patterns. These webs exude a very faint, pearly luminescence that eternally evaporates in curling tendrils of mist and is the only source of light in the Black Chasm. Spiders of all sizes scurry freely along the webs on unfathomable missions and still writhing creatures dangle from the strands in clusters. The heart of the Black Chasm is an enormous and beautifully elaborate sphere of web where Ubariya weaves and lays her eggs.
Portfolio: Life-death-rebirth cycle (transmigration of souls), memory, night/darkness/shadow, weaving, and spiders.
Worshipers: Spinners and weavers revere the Weaver Uncaring. Mothers, midwives and other women follow her in her life/rebirth aspect and beseech her to delay acting as bringer of death for those they love. Creatures of the night and death bringers revere her and seek her blessings.
Cleric Alignments: LG, LN, LE, N
Favored Weapon: spear (represents a distaff)

Ubariya is the goddes of death and rebirth though in a different fashion than the One and the Many as she is only concerned with creatures that have souls and not with the natural world. Ubariya brings death to everyone when the weave of their life has been completed. Those who follow a different god move on to whatever afterlife that god provides for them but Ubariya claims the souls of those who are not claimed by any other deity. She is not a greedy god and the souls are wrapped and suspended from her webs where she feeds off their soul speparating it from the husk of personality/individuality. Once the soul is drained the husk of personality fades and leaves a nodule of softly glowing light upon the web where it was suspended. This nodule is the living memorial of that creature. Ubariya having absorbed the soul lays an egg, now a purified soul, in her nest. When the time is right the egg will also fade and the soul will be reborn into the world.

TRUE FORM:
Ubariya's unclothed body is full with imminent motherhood and she is beautiful though nowhere near approaching the beauty of Heliasillyel or Lavaria. What beauty she has is all the more jarring for the non-human elements that make up her body: the four spider-leg arms that emerge from the sides of her torso; the two large spider eyes that dominate her face and the six, no... five human eyes that follow the ridge of her cheek bones just below the other, larger eyes. One eye has clearly been violently removed though the skin has healed and sealed the empty socket.

[sblock=Oaths]
Oath with Duretep (restated by Ubariya) Ubariya: "As the blood of Death and Madness mingle, I swear that I shall not enter the Realm of Dreams uninvited and hold you to respect my realm in kind." Duretep: "I shall respect your realm, your childern, and your being."
Heliasillyel's Promise Heliasillyel: "You, Duretep, as well as the rest of you Gods, have my word that I will not venture in your realms and will not be the first to show aggression. I will readily defend my followers and lands however."
Ubariya's Counter: Between us, let us divide the world in two. You take half and bathe it in your light, and I take half to shroud in darkness. After a period of time, we relinquish our half to the other. In this you fulfill your duty to bring new beginnings to lands touched by darkness and also have opportunity to renew them. And, so that you are not totally powerless during the Shifting Realm of Night I offer you an eye with which you can pierce the darkness even from your blazing palace. In return, though, I would request that mortals and objects standing between us reach out towards me with a shadow of their substance."
Lavaria's Promise: (accepted) "I will give you my life sustaining heat deep under the shambling ones rock, giving the rock freedom to move above my realm. All I ask is vented access to the world above to keep an eye on my minions and fissures for view into your strange world above my flames. I will keep my palace of pure flame hidden deep within the world so your peoples will not fear it and burn from it. But know this my... 'friends', those who step into my realm uninvited are in for an eternity of burning torment. Once you enter my fiery domain there will be NOT return unless I myself grant your leave."
Sirion's Word: "My word of honor is given I will not enter your realm uninvited and know if you come to my realm with friendly intents it will never be closed to you or any of the gods"

[sblock=Secret History]Ubariya is immeasurably old. Among the least of the servants of Death in another realm she has spent thousands upon thousands of years reaping souls for his Dark Eminence. She eventually grew to desire independence and so Death altered his bargain with her and she eventually was able to set off to a new realm with a belly full of souls waiting to be birthed into a world where she can create not only new races but a new self.[/sblock]
