Vesyna, Goddess of Darkness

(a.k.a. Ves; Vesna; Veshna; Nightmare)

The Lady of Darkness was originally solely worshipped by the Vesynites and a significant portion of exiled Kalashtar, though they prefer to call her the Goddess of Death, Twilight, and Nightmares. For the Kalashtar, worship typically came in the form of fear. Rituals and prayers that kept her wrath away. The Vesynites believed that her nightmares were prophetic warnings of the future to help protect her followers.
The faith of Vesyna alone is called "Vesyndra". Those who worship Vesyna are known as "Vesynists".
In the Twilight Faith, worship of Vesyna has radically changed. Whereas it was once believe Vesyna and Lonysus were natural born enemies, revelations from the Thalantir of Old proclaimed them to be entities tied together. The Twilight Faith challenges its worshipers to believe in both and to strike a balance between light and dark.
