Siru, Lady of Suffering Lore

Siru is the younger sister to Synri, Lady of Deception. Their parents, like Kaal's and Miron's are not spoken of often by them and their names are not recorded in any known lore. Of the Chaotic Gods of Old, she is considered to be one of the most powerful, only behind her sister, Khazaar and Miron. Much of her strength comes from the great deal of hardship the various races of Imarel have seen in the last several thousand years. Unlike many gods, whose power wanes and waxes with time, hers has always been a steady flow that has never ebbed off and has continued to grant her strength amongst the gods as time goes on.

While her sister is a plotter, Siru is straight forward and aggressive. She makes very little secret she enjoys the suffering of others, even those on the short list she calls ally. While having a penchant for being direct, Siru also likes to toy with her prey, bask in their suffering awhile, before finally finishing them off. She appears as an Asyndi female, with long jet black hair kept in a top knot and matching black eyes. Lithe and athletic, Siru wields a pair of weighted whips in battle, called Liur and Luah that have the unusual talent of becoming Bane Weapons to the target they are striking, after the first successful blow.

Siru's worshipers are sadists, Reavers who also happen to be sadists and people who generally like inflicting suffering onto others. Siru's Priests are all tortured for a week as part of their initiation into the priesthood and must become skilled at torture techniques themselves. Many will bear scars from their learning as a mark of pride. Siru does not have any temples to speak of, but rather her priests gather in torture chambers or places where an event of great suffering has taken place.
