Kiaransalee

Kiaransalee (kee-uh-ran-sa-lee) is a drow demigod, also known as the Lady of the Dead, The Revenancer or The Vengeful Banshee. Her portfolio includes vengeance and the undead. Kiaransalee is a cruel, twisted and vengeful deity. The Lady of the Dead became insane ages ago; however, she managed to keep her cunning and she can still clearly remember every slight or insult towards her, whether it is real or imagined. Kiaransalee is swift to anger, powerful, and against all who have wronged her she plots a dark revenge. The Lady of the Dead prefers company from the mindless undead she can manipulate at will, over sentient beings that are able of independent thought. She rarely trusts anyone else to do justice to her vision and thus prefers to settle her problems herself.

Worshipers
Kiaransalee's clergy exists of orderly regimented cells, but the faith lacks in overall organisation. The Revenancer's clerics are mostly found in small drow communities or in special enclaves, and act constantly in secret. Her clerics are agents of vengeance who plot against anyone who ever slighted the faith. Regularly do they organise slaying missions to acquire corpses for animation, and are very active in persecuting slaves. Many clerics multiclass as necromancers. A few of the church have also joined the Cult of the Dragon and become Wearers of Purple. Most eventually become undead themselves.

Rituals
Clerics of Kiaransalee pray for their spells at midnight, since at this time of day the spirits are most restless. Each individual cleric performs a handful of minor devotions to Kiaransalee each month.

The Graverending
The single annual holy day of the faith is called the Graverending and is celebrated each Midwinter Eve. The Graverending is an individual ritual, where each cleric animates as much undead as she can handle. These undead are known as the Vengeance Hunters and they are consumed only with a desire for revenge against those that ended their lives. They hunt down this killer unerringly within 24 hours. When a Vengeance Hunter is destroyed it does not rise again. These undead return to their graves after their 24 hours or after their vengeance has been executed, if possible.

Relationships
Kiaransalee has many foes and only loose allies. In the hopes of loosening Lolth's web she has allied herself with deities as Hoar, Velsharoon, Malar, and Vhaeraun. Her chief enemies are Deep Duerra, Dumathoin, Eilistraee, Kelemvor, Laduguer and Jergal.

History
Kiaransalee was in her mortal life a powerful drow necromancer-queen from another plane. She is an unwilling vassal of Lolth and has been for a very long time now. She is only capable of small acts of rebellion against Lolth. Recently Kiaransalee took over Orcus's realm. She is now completely aimed towards destroying every trace of this demon lord of the undead.

Kiaransalee joins the sava game between Lolth and Eilistraee as a 3rd party faction. Seemingly to have a one-on-one fight with Lolth, she dedicated her moves towards eliminating Eilistraee from the game. In the end, she was defeated by Eilistraee's wizard piece, Q’arlynd Melarn in a High Magic ritual that wiped her name from the minds of all mortals and gods, even Kiaransalee itself. Without worshipers she instantaneously faded from existence.

Dogma
"Death comes to all and cruel vengeance will be exacted on those who waste their lives on the petty vengeance of this existence. True power comes only from the unquestioning servitude of the once-dead. Hunt, slay and animate those who scorn the Revenancer's power, and answer any slight a thousandfold, so that all may know the coming power of Kiaransalee. "
