Gaiθwhē

Gaiθwhē (ΛЗЬΩ [kajθʍeː], rendered Caethvēa in Vallaran) in ancient Fridian religion was the youngest of three chthonic sibling deities, along with Okrōnū and Xhemnē, often together referred to as the "chthonic triumvirate" or the "queens of the underworld", though none of these names were used by the Fridians.
The name Gaiθwhē is grammatically female in Fridian, though the deity was depicted by the Fridians with hermaphroditic characteristics, and usually wearing male clothing. The Vallarans would later explain these depictions as attempts by Proserpina to disguise herself as a man to escape the underworld.
One of three "rulers" of the underworld, Gaiθwhē was one of several psychopomp-like figures in Fridian religion, responsible not only for carrying deceased souls to their places in the underworld, but also new souls to the newly born, and later depictions indicate she had taken on aspects of a fertility deity. Her sisters Okrōnū and Xhemnē were responsible for governance of the underworld and punishment of sin (such as broken oaths or abrogation of xenia), respectively.
Aspects of Gaiθwhē would be conflated and rolled into other Vallaran deities. The three sisters aspect would be conflated with the Noerae, while alone she would be mostly conflated with Proserpina, captive queen of the underworld.

Clergy

Gaiθwhē appears to have had an entirely female priesthood who performed burial rites and funeral services, as well as providing healing and apotropaic magic. Later, in accordance with Gaiθwhē taking on aspects of a fertility deity, the priestesses would also act as midwives. There is no indication priestesses or any of the clergy of Gaiθwhē were temple prostitutes. They may, in fact, have been sworn virgins, as the rape of a priestess of Gaiθwhē by a Vallaran is given as the reason for a 9^th century war between the Vallaran city of Noventum and the Fridian city of Zelnowam.
Frescoes and pottery preserved from Fridian times depict priestesses with clearly female figures and wasp waists, but wearing belted tunics in a tradionally male fashion. Depictions of rituals involving priestesses of Gaiθwhē, especially in earlier depictions, show priestesses with conspicuous priapisms under their tunics. The discovery in Alvoradã of a wooden rod of appropriate size and shape next to several metal buckles and what were likely disintegrated leather straps indicates the priestesses likely wore prosthetics for these rituals.
As Fridian civilisation declined and subsumed into Varaso civilisation, Gaiθwhē would be conflated with Proserpina, and her female priesthood was abolished and replaced with the male priesthood of Proserpina.
