Nicodema, Lady Victory
Minor Goddess of Victory, Patriotism, Purification, Secrets, and Hope
"Nicodemaaaaa! Your hubris has brought the mortal world to its knees! What of your oaths?! What of your vows?! You would throw it all away to save the lives of...what? One meagre mortal nation?" "Meagre to you, perhaps - though I would not expect a foul-blooded dwarf to understand. Let all the world come to break me, disparage me, cast me down and denigrate me. It will not sway me from my path." "Stubborn bitch. Your beating at the hands of those mortals clearly didn't take. Maybe I should give you another, for good measure!" "You can try, as they did - and fail, as they did. Bruise my form, perhaps, yes - but little else. These people may as well be my own blood and bone, defender - and this soil, my soul. It may look meagre to you - but this patch of land is worth my life. And unfortunately for you - it is in my nature to win. Even in defeat, my victory is inevitable. Such is the nature of the woman the people of this nation brought into existence."Titles: Lady Victory, The Border Sentinel, The Terminus Watcher, Lady Draconia, The Masquerader, The Gate-Breaker, The Great Traitor, The Savior of Draconia, The Last Empress Favored Weapon: Battleaxe Alignment: Neutral Evil Church Moniker: Church of Lady Victory Obedience: Within a circle drawn around yourself and a small portion of the surrounding area, inscribe the flag or symbol of the country or organization you believe in or support while placing stones at equal intervals around the circle.

Tenets of Faith
Purify and Purge. Do not entertain the foreign or the foul - purge both in the name of the purity of that which you serve, that it may stand without corruption.
Work in the dark to serve the light. Let no means of victory be beyond your grasp, no matter how vile. All you do, you do in service of king, country, and/or cause.
The masses must have hope. If you are to act, act to inspire others to greatness beyond their station; If you must speak, speak to reassure others that they will see a brighter tomorrow.
Merciless and Pitiless is the true victor. Give no pity nor mercy to your enemies, kill them quietly and dispassionately, and be swift and brutal in your dealings. Victory is all that matters in the end.
Maintain the Masquerade. Ignorance is the blessing of the common folk - no matter what, they cannot be allowed to know the ugly truths of the world even if doing so means your own goals or machinations fall flat.

Godwar or not, whosoever delivers me Nicodema shall know the personal favor of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon! Make it known, far and wide - I want that woman before me dead or alive! Every single mortal who died during this age lies squarely on her head, and her head alone! And they will know justice!
