Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Morris" data-source="post: 644649" data-attributes="member: 87">Narisane...My setting has one deity that fits the bill here.  Here's her description, and a description of one of her temples...NarisaneThe Whore, Lady SeductionSymbol: A nude. The vulgarity of the pose varies.Alignment: Chaotic NeutralPortfolio: Lust, Seduction, CoercionDomains: Trickery, SeductionFavored Weapon: The whipThe Power: The kind words for Narisane describe her as the "dark side of love." The rebellious second-born daughter of Cuane and Poen, Narisane is the only one of their children to become a goddess in her own right, and she rules over lust and seduction, coercion and lies. She is the abuser of the heart, the one who twists good will to dark ends. Still, Narisane has yet to become totally evil - but she is slowly slipping deeper and deeper into Senda's dark fold. Narisane is Chaotic Neutral, and most of her evil tendencies of late are more to spite her parents than being born of true malice.The Ethos: Lust is the truest weakness of the human soul, and like all weaknesses it exists to be exploited. Pleasure is found in exploitation and controlling others through their emotions, thoughts, fears and dreams. Satisfy the dark urgings of others, but leave them hungry for still more at all times.The Clergy: Most followers of Narisane are prostitutes. While Telzoa has not historically had that much of a taboo associated with this profession, the fall of Narisane to darkness and the changes it has incurred in her following has begun to darken the reputations of the “Ladies of the Night.” And the temple, well, the description is a short snippet from the description of the city of Ultan...“The Sensuous Respite” is commonly referred to as "The Whorehouse" by the locals.  It is a temple to Narisane which previously was a whorehouse.  The place was consecrated so that business could continue on religious grounds (The pun is intended).  Skeptics point the place out often when they want an example of the ineffectiveness of the law in Ultan.  Whatever is said however, Narisane has 56 followers and 12 priests at this temple under the leadership of Alexia Thenis (P10).</blockquote>
