Drakira (Dra-keera)
Overview
Daughter of Lolth and Allir and brother of Khaine, she is the drow goddess of death and revenge. Drakira is a cruel, twisted and vengeful deity. The Lady of the Dead became insane ages ago; however, she managed to keep her cunning and she could still clearly remember every slight or insult towards her, whether it was real or imagined. Drakira is swift to anger, powerful, and against all who have wronged her she plots a dark revenge. The Lady of the Dead prefers company from the mindless undead she could manipulate at will, over sentient beings that are possessed of independent thought. She rarely trusts anyone else to do justice to her vision and thus prefers to settle her problems herself.Portfolio and Responsibilities
Drakira's clergy is comprised of orderly regimented cells, but the faith lacks in overall organization. The Revenancer's clerics are mostly found in small drow communities or in special enclaves, and act constantly in secret. Her clerics are agents of vengeance who plot against anyone who ever slighted the faith. They regularly organize slaying missions to acquire corpses for animation, and are very active in persecuting slaves. Higher-ranking priestesses are called Yathrinshee.Divine Domains

Example Antipaladin Code
Bound by the eternal coldness of death and the burning desire for revenge, I submit my being to Drakira, the Lady of the Dead. As her chosen instrument of retribution, I solemnly vow:- Every slight, whether direct or perceived, shall be etched into my memory, becoming another link in the chain of vengeance I will forge.
- I shall cultivate a heart as cold as death, unswayed by mercy or remorse, driven only by the cruel directives of Drakira.
- My trust shall be a guarded treasure, for even shadows may betray. I shall rely primarily on myself and the undead minions that serve the will of Drakira.
- Secrecy shall be my ally. I will move silently and strike from the shadows, for Drakira's vengeance is best delivered unexpectedly.
- I shall master the arts of necromancy, breathing unlife into the fallen and bending them to Drakira's dark purpose.
- Those who dare slight Drakira or her followers shall become targets of my retribution, their names etched on a list that only death can erase.
- The enslaved shall feel my wrath, as I channel Drakira's cruelty, ensuring they are forever bound in despair.
