Lighlara

Overview
Once a moderately powerful devil, Lighlara came to be worshiped by the dark elves as a goddess of evil dead—one who destroys their souls and transforms them into a form palatable for the souls of good deceased. Now the ruler of a great palace in the Expanse which copies the architecture of her abandoned lower realm, Lighlara exploits her demonic heritage to claim the souls of the damned and prepare them for consumption by Few follow Lighlara. Those that are typically emphasize her less vicious aspects, particularly her culinary mastery and preference for the freshest ingredients. Prayers for guidance during meals provide the largest portion of her worship, and most who pray to her frequently favor other gods in an effort to avoid the disagreeable conditions of Masnytir.the saved souls of dark elves.

Appearance
Despite the expansion of resources godhood provides, Lighlara prefers her natural form: a grosteque mass of concentric teeth lining a ghastly bifurcation of a serpent's body. Her face peers from a lattice of those yellowed ivories, and four spindly arms stretch from the mass of callous and bone substituted for her shoulders.

Divine Mission
Lighlara is possessed of a perverse desire for the goddess of death. Zalhara provides the material of her art and sustenance alike, and Lighlara adored her even before her ascendancy. Zalhara largely ignores her, hosting the demonness within the shadowy outskirts of her palace and electing to ignore the woman entirely.

Religion
Few dare to delve into the consumptive lunacy the Sin Butcher demands. Her relatively few priests commit themselves to the avoidance of their mistress at all costs lest the damned sinners of dark elf society find themselves taken up as ingredients for a feast of the saved.

Those foolhardy few who are brave enough to follow her typically emphasize her less vicious aspects, particularly her culinary mastery and preference for the freshest ingredients. Prayers for guidance during meals provide the largest portion of her worship, and most who pray to her frequently favor other gods in an effort to avoid the disagreeable conditions of Masnytir.

Afterlife
Masnytir is lacking compared to the grandiose territories of the other dark elf goddesses, but the grand kitchen on the outskirts of Zalhara's manor models itself after the fortress of moderate consequence which Lighlara once controlled. The beleaguered moans of the yet-uncooked damned fill the air, and a small collection of those who served her in life assist her in the preparation of new meals.

Magic Properties
Quick and brutal is the magic of Lighlara, just as her mistress treats her living ingredients. The clash of steel against meat and whiffs of exotic and long-extinct spices fill the air whenever one of her rare clerics casts one of her spells.

Reanimating corpses using damned souls is also a common factor among her worshippers, who are disdained even among necromancers for their tendency to prepare and consume corpses as part of god-ordered punishment.
