Ubris - Goddess of Darkness and Karma
Domains:
Grave and Twilight Ubris is the Goddess of Darkness and Karma, and is, togheter with Lukhas, the gods of the Fate who were born of Rapha and Raashjo, the Gods of Order and of Chaos. Alternate names used by Ubris' followers to address her, include "the Banshee" or "Star-Maiden". From these two, Lukhas and Ubris, came light and darkness, and when these cosmic forces appeared on Gaea, so did the twins, often called "The Twins of Twilight". Lukhas and Ubris share litte resemblance to one another however, and are by many considered complete opposites in both appearance and in values. In the mythology of the Fate, Ubris was first gifted the shadowfell, the Plane of Shadow while Lukhas was given what is today known as the Feywilds, the previous Plane of Light. However, when Nave and Eyr were born, and the two reflections of the material plane shifted to reflect this change, Lukhas gave Eyr the feywilds, and Ubris gifted the shadowfell to Nave. However, where Lukhas himself left the feywilds solely to Eyr, Ubris and Nave decided that they would control and govern the shadowfell togheter, and the two have been in close-cooperation ever since. Ubris covets the things that are dark and silent. The night is her domain, and she is by many considered to be the patron of outcasts and those silenced by injustice. Her powers over the night lets her see and hear anything that happens in the dark, and she is known to be quite vengeful to those who wrong her followers. Ubris is considerably more active in the affairs of mortals than the older gods, and just as Lukhas has, she has amassed a great following, although most who worship Ubris do so under the silent cover of the night, like gravekeepers, forlorn maidens, thieves, outcasts and witches. Ubris is depicted as a young woman, sometimes a child, with very long black hair. Her hair covers her face, and her skin is either depicted as dark as night or pale as the moon, with long, black fingernails. She is known to wear a veil over her face, as well as white dresses reminiscent of those worn by human women when they are wed. In some art and sculpture Ubris is also cloaked, and she is most often depicted with bare feet and thin, malnourished limbs.
