Xentha

Goddess of Night

  • Darkness pantheon
  • Troll pantheon

When the darkness deities invaded the surface world, Xentha led them. She is a great and commanding goddess, with mysterious powers far beyond the ken of man or troll. Most beings recognize her, but worship instead her minions who can more easily be known. During the Darkness she ruled the upper and surface world, and now shares it with Yelm.
