Versinya is the goddess of decay and corruption both in a literal and metaphorical sense. To follow her can grant you immortality, but generally at a terrible price. Her cultists are known to embrace the worst parts of their nature. Her barge is filled with the bones of those who died before their time and she is waited upon by a host of those who destroyed something they loved in life. Her cults, needless to say, are very unpopular, even compared to other malicious gods.

Rumoured Avatars

Cassius: In life a noble hero who had hated Versinya and all she stood for with all his heart. As a child his family was murdered and put forward as a burnt offering to her by a group of insane cultists. Versinya, however, in her twisted perversion saved his life so that she could forvever torment him. Everyone who ever touched his life was destined to fall to pain and sickness. He became a servant of justice and attempted to fight for good but at every turn his actions were twisted and ended up contributing to the cause of evil. In the end he took a knife to his own heart and attempted to kill himself. But as he plunged the knife he found to his horror that the wound which ought to have been fatal would not kill him. He now serves the goddess against his will. The wound on his chest is septic and ridden with maggots, which eternally knaw at the decayed flesh. He prays forever for death but for all anyone knows he is essentially immortal.

Assumpta: She appears as a woman who is very beautiful but for the empty eye sockets in her skull. She is the patron of the perversion of love and haunts those who destroy something they love. The myths tell that she was once a young mother, who so frustrated by its cries, suffocated her own child. Her fellow villagers removed her eyes as a punishment when they realised what she had done. They say her eyes can be anywhere they wish and see anything that happens, although this is mere superstition.

The Boy: Known only by this name, he appears no more than 6 or 7 years of age and has striking blond hair and blue eyes. He is generally spotted playing on street corners and if you do not know what you are looking for is unidentifiable from any other child. He symbolises lost innocence. Many years ago it is written that a small child wandered off from his family and made his way into the Treacherous Lands. The child was found a few days later rambling incoherently about darkness and hopelessness. The Boy tends to speak in riddles when he feels the need to speak at all, and those who encounter him are filled with an inexplicable sense of dread.
