As the
Aspect of the
Savioress, the Dark Mother guides the
Drow in the
Undertethys in a constant fight with her betrayer children -
Assassin and
Eternal Blade. Worshippers of the Dark Mother believe that they can attone for their sins against their goddess, if they annihilate the rest of the betrayers. However, they lack the numbers to do so and it has became an constant war behind the scenes leading many Drow to live with paranoia. Clerics of the Dark Mother would form secret cults inside the cities of Dark Elves and bring them down.
History
The Dark Mother came to existence during the
Third Age, Kingdoms as the betrayer elves ran to
Undertethys. Some still wanted to worship the
Savioress but couldn't hear any answers until centuries later. Their Mother was angry with them, furious even. They had to beg for forgiveness, thus a darker, unforgiving mother-god came to existence, an
Aspect of the
Savioress. She steered the underground cities of the Drow (which take took as a name meaning betrayers). This led to a clash with the
Assassin and
Eternal Blade, filling the streets with dead bodies in a never game of intrigue and backstabbing.
Dogma
You have betrayed me, you will atone for all your sins, even with the cost of your life
There are others, more betrayers, kill them when you have a chance
You will receive redemption in your holy crusade but only if you are ready
Relationships with other Gods
The Dark Mother is a stain on the Greater Deity but she can't fight her directly, thus many worshippers of the
Savioress fight worshippers of all three Drow gods (Dark Mother,
Eternal Blade and
Assassin) thus dividing their forces even more. The children of
Savioress hate the Dark Mother, seeing her as the true nature of their mother.
