Kiaransalee (The Revenancer)

Alignment: Chaotic Evil Category: Dark Seldarine Domains: Arcana, Death Pantheon: Drow Province: Necromancy Symbol: Drow hand wearing many silver rings
The Drow God of vengeance and undeath, called the Revenancer, is portrayed in some legends as a fierce female clad in silver and translucent veils, and in others as a banshee. In either version, her hands bear many glittering silver rings, and this image is recognized as her symbol.
Drow see Kiaransalee as the patron of vengeance because she is said to have died and returned from death to get her revenge, bringing an army of the dead back with her. Various communities of her worshipers have differing ideas about who killed her and why, but typically the murderer is portrayed as having the features of some kind of creature the drow have great hatred for. Followers of Kiaransalee don't trouble themselves greatly over these details, because all the stories could be true: the Revenancer is believed to have returned from death over and over again.
Vengeance is the aspect of Kiaransalee that appeals to most Drow, because it becomes a necessity in every ambitious Drow's life-usually more than once. The state of undeath is of less concern to them, but those who practice Necromancy turn to Kiaransalee for guidance and for protection from Undead.
Some of her most fervent followers seek out the secret of attaining undeath for themselves. Kiaransalee favors them by bringing them back as Undead, but unlike other gods of similar sort, Kiaransalee doesn't offer the undeath of lichdom but a lowly existence as a banshee, a revenant, or a wight.
Drow believe that Kiaransalee was driven mad by returning from death as a god so many times, but her followers aren't discouraged by this assessment. Despite her madness, her actions are guided by a deep and devious cunning-a trait that drow attach more importance to than they do to sanity.
