Ahrianna is one of the Seven Sisters.

As daughter of Halor, Ahrianna is tainted by the Chaos he embodies. Her birth was particularily difficult on her mother and as such she has always been treated as the black sheep of the family. Twisted as she is Ahrianna embodies insanity. Those who worship her are either insane themselves or seek to play with madness in order to find clarity and enlightenment. The dogma of many who follow her is, "Only through madness can one find true purpose.".

From Ahrianna many of the strangest creatures in EnWorld have flowed. She has given birth to a number of different aberrations including the rust monster, the gibbering mouther, the otyugh, and most notorious to those who've encountered them, the beholder. As Mother of Monsters, her children have been a bane to both the lives of Enworldians and their sanity.

Rituals preformed by the Cult of Eyes are scenes of pure chaos and bedlam, with a howling orgiastic high priestess leading a congregation in foul rites that cause her holy symbol to glow with an eerie yellow mist, that sweeps out and engulfs them all, causing tentacles, eyestalks, warts, and slime to sprout across the celebrants bodies, as they twist into maddened beasts from out of a nightmare.

Note: The spell random action in the Madness Domain has since been changed to lesser confusion, as the former does not exist.

I think you mean daughtor of Halor ;)

I'd thought she might be the daughter of the evil blood god, and perhaps she was driven insane trying to find her in the laberynth, sending odd monsterous creations to find her (Just brainstorming)

Overall, I like it though :) I'm trying to think of a potential 4th domain.

I thought Demigods only got three. I'll think on it. There was one I wanted to add, but I forget what it was (Evil? Destruction? lemme think on it).

Halor? Hathor? same difference! (/jk will fix :))

How about substituting beholder for aboleth? Aboleth's have this racial memory thing going where they think they're older than the gods, at least all the ones that other races worship. And beholders are definitely bonkers; sane beholders stand out from from their kin.

Beholders would be quite funny and a good fit. What with their whole 'I'm the only perfect beholder and all others are mutants' mentality. Heck, their Great Mother worship could be merely an aspect of Ahrianna. One problem--aren't they non-SRD?

BTW, on a side note, if I was a Judge, I would vote no on any goddess of delerium out of principle. I like Ahrianna, though, and changing her to a goddess of delirium would convince me to change my mind :D

Yeah, but so are mind flayers, and I'm pretty sure both will be found somewhere in LEW.

I'd substitute gibbering mouthers, but he already has that listed. #&@%!

Oh, I knew they existed, but it is highly inappropriate for a goddess in a fantasy RPG to have her portfolio be over a RL band, right? :p

I've had people sing Metallica's Wherever I may Roam in an RP only online game. I wasn't happy, but they said it wasn't unreasonable lyricly.
