Leth
The Veil’s Whisper
Leth, The Veil's Whisper, Goddess of secrets, vigilance and control, Leth is worshipped by spies, assassins, and those who hold or seek forbidden knowledge. She is symbolized by a crossed scroll and dagger, emphasizing the relationship of political intrigue, control and action.
They are taught that knowledge is a weapon that must be wielded with care and that the pursuit of hidden truths is a noble endeavour. Assassins learn to kill not out of malice but as a means to an end, guided by a code of ethics that stresses a form of honour, discretion, and accountability.
Spies are schooled in the art of observation, deception, and subterfuge, becoming masters of disguise and manipulation. Scholars delve into forbidden texts, guided by Leth's whispers to uncover secrets that can shape the fate of nations.
Her following is a shadowy one, comprised of those who live in the margins, who operate from the shadows, and whose voices are only ever heard as whispers. It's in the silent nod of a spy, the quick, soundless steps of an assassin, and the hungry, searching eyes of a scholar where Leth's influence is most palpable.
Leth's symbol, a crossed scroll and dagger, encapsulates the intricate balance between knowledge and action. The scroll represents the information, the mysteries, and the secrets that are protected or exposed. The dagger symbolizes decisive action, strategic execution, and the underlying danger that comes with wielding power through knowledge. Together, they emphasize political intrigue, manipulation, and control, themes that resonate with Leth's worshippers.
The temples dedicated to Leth are seldom seen in the open. Often hidden within city walls, underground passages, or secret chambers in palaces, these places are sanctuaries for her followers to gather, train, and share hidden wisdom. Entry to these temples is strictly controlled, and only those who prove themselves worthy may pass through their concealed doors.
Ceremonies are held in shadow, with incense and whispered prayers filling the darkened halls. Altars are adorned with symbols of the craft: masks, coded messages, hidden weapons, and ancient tomes.
