Her character is fueled by spite and an unwavering determination to purify the world through the destructive force of volcanoes. Unlike traditional deities, Erythra doesn’t inspire worship through grand temples or shrines but instead through the actions of her devoted followers, The Sufferers. Erythra’s personality encapsulates the wrathful and vindictive nature often associated with betrayed women. Her motives go beyond mere world purification; they are deeply rooted in personal animosity and hate. The burning fires of her volcanoes serve as both a physical manifestation of her rage and a means of cleansing the world from what she perceives as corruption and unfaithfulness. The Sufferers, her wandering clerics, play a crucial role in Erythra’s mission. These women, marked by scars from the fires of evil and adorned with ruby scales, are chosen vessels to carry her warnings to the world. Erythra views them as extensions of herself, believing that they are the ones who will bring her message to those who need to be cleansed. In this sense, her followers become living symbols of her fury, beautiful yet scarred, embodying the dual nature of her destructive power. The tenets of Erythra further define her doctrine and the actions expected from her followers. The corrupted, the unfaithful, and even the devoted are all subject to her cleansing fire. In Erythra’s eyes, no one is exempt from judgment, and her followers, inspired by her relentless hatred, carry out her will without mercy. In summary, Erythra is a deity driven by personal vendettas and a burning desire to cleanse the world. Her influence is felt through the destructive power of volcanoes, and her followers, The Sufferers, are both the enforcers of her will and the messengers of her warnings. The tenets of Erythra emphasize the universality of her judgment, sparing no one in the pursuit of her vision of purification.
