Morrigan (Mo-rig-an) is one of the oldest Empyrean Titans, and daughter of Cernunnun.
She is the divine caretaker of the fabric of magic, commonly known as Mana. She is a cold and aloof being, having few relations with mortals or other deities. She is often depicted with a raven companion, leading to the belief that she has a close relationship to Mortus. Outside of the Empyrean Church and her dedicated cults, she is generally venerated by diplomats and thespians who evoke her control over the fabric of reality as a reflection of their professions. In the Empyrean Church, priests of Morrigan often blend arcane and divine magic. These priests are called Mystic Theurges, though not all claim the title.
Most of Morrigans followers are female, owing a large portion of that to the cult of Herat who are largely female led. The goddess of magic herself does not descriminate and is happy to be searved by all being with the good sense to do so.
Prayers to the goddess of death are a regular part of Empyrean church services and priests of the Witch Queen operate in nearly every city and village as tenders of the dead and their resting places. Despite their critical duty to the community, whenever undead apear, they are often the first to be blamed. It is difficult for a lay person to diferentiate Morrigan's priests from necromancers and the two are not mutually exclusive by any means. Priests of Morrigan often wear fanciful and elaborate clothing and burgundy or charcoal cloaks.
She is an extremely private deity and never appears to mortals without her mask. This has lead some to believe that she is supremely vain. Her priests often wear similar masks while performing church duties or when communicating with her.
Itenerat priests of Morrigan are not uncommon. Her portfolios and traditions sometimes conflict with the major branches of her followers both in the Empyrean church, and with the cult of Herat.
Cult of Herat[]
Herat is an island nation in Morat Ras and is dominated by their worship of Morrigan as the sole deity. The church is the ruling power of the island and influences every aspect of life. They have a tenuous relationship with the Empyrean Church, viewing all other titans as inferior to the witch queen.
