Skotádi

Ancient Black Dragon

The ancient myths refer to the Skotádi as a embodyment of darkness, patron of warlocks and necromancers, and the keeper of the underworld. Generally referred to in the feminine, the black dragon is believed to reside in Asteria, in the mountains of Megálo nisí

Southern Younger Peoples

The Drákos peoples have associated the ancient mythos of the black dragon with Hecate.

Northern Younger Peoples

The Norjord and Rus peoples have associated the ancient mythos of Skotádi with Hel, the daughter of Loki and the female giant Angrboda. Hel (hell) was confined to Niflheim by the gods. She appears as a gaunt woman whose body is fair and lovely on one side, but dead and rotting on the other. Despite her hideous appearance, she is the least monstrous of Loki’s three children from this union (the other two are Fenrir the wolf and Jormungandr the world serpent).
Dogma Hel teaches no particular dogma to the living, focusing instead on her dead minions. She does have a cult devoted to her, however. Its members feel that society unjustly imprisoned, exiled, or ignored them, and often seek revenge for real or imagined slights.
Clergy and Temples Hel has no organized worship. Her few living worshipers keep to themselves, plotting against everyone they feel has wronged them.
