Divine Domains

As one of the sisters of fate, Thesan can see the threads of destiny and believes that most events happen by random chance and that fate is not set until the event has happened.
The An-sarra also worshipped her as goddess of the dawn and new beginnings. In her role as a goddess of fate, ones role is truly set when she gives up on them.
As a holdover from her older legends, she is known as the Herald of the Red Father, but where this once referred to her as a dawn goddess, it now calls up the image of her loss of faith in an individual and that their fate is sealed.
Sometimes, she is called Rosy-fingered or Red Handed, which now calls up stories of her as a goddess of vengeance, with the blood of the condemned staining her hands.
She is also known as the Handmaid of the White Mother, who brings a better path out of the darkness and a change of destiny.
