Djudla-Mei
"We are owed nothing, after all. Let all riches go to the sly."Djudla-Mei
Djudla-Mei is the goddess of thieves, secrets, and plots. Keeping largely to herself and not often being heard from, she was thought to be a peaceful goddess for much of the first portion of the Age of the Meydra. At one point Ebium's Tome of Yesteryear vanished from a protected place, and it was some time later, most likely many, many years, that, after several similar disappearances, Marosk finally discovered that Djudla-Mei was the perpetrator. It is said that she also occasionally stole from humanoids, but few notable occurrences are spoken of even in legend, as they were much easier prey with less valuable loot. This revelation triggered a long-lived but quiet conflict between Djudla-Mei and Marosk, with him trying to catch her but rarely even seeing her. Djudla-Mei is portrayed as a lithe woman with scaly white skin, wearing black, white, and gold and wielding two daggers—Eln and Liid, crimson and jagged, said to be literally forged from the blood of the wealthy.
Relationships
Djudla-Mei had at least three children: by Madjei, Lomé, and by Tirinasi, Shard and Lunagi. Her personal rival was always Marosk, as she worked directly against what he endeavored to uphold. She was occasionally apprehended by her brother Corinnis, who tried to convince her to return to Evendur, unsuccessfully.
Followers
Early criminal syndicates are said to have been guided by Djudla-Mei through visions she shared with her chosen followers. She has a great many followers among thieves and brigands, and even spies and assassins.

Holidays
Like most evil-aligned deities, Djudla-Mei has no official holidays, but her clerics, priests, and more serious followers observe the Day of Remittance on October 28th, wherein they offer a stolen item up to Djudla-Mei as payment for her assistance. Different sects have different requirements for the value of this item, the circumstances of its theft, and the manner of its offering.
