Introduction
Among all the Corrupted Gods, Y'shendra is the most reviled. The people of Atharen regard her with a primitive disdain, casting her off as a blight upon the world, a rot even within a sea of it: too mangled even for Bel. Many believe this is the result of a feeling of pain, even betrayal - a rage born of tragedy at what the Goddess used to be. Most hated now, but formerly, most loved.
Y'shendra was previously the Goddess of Life, Fertility and Faith. She was viewed as the mother of all life, and all races, and the scion of the Path, or the church of the Living Gods. She was the wife of Malek, and their union was the first of its kind; it was their bond that perhaps founded marriage as a concept, one mortals quickly became endeared to. This balance between life and death, made by love rather than some antagonistic duality, offered an optimistic view of what life and death were: intricately entangled, cycles meant to be explored together, rather than feared.
Y'shendra was, also, the mother of the Elven race. She created the first Hyr'norai, modeling them after Venadak, who she viewed as a brother of hers and something to aspire to.
These accomplishments, only a few among many, were her legacy. Yet, to most, they are too far away; they exist outside of the realm of memory, overshadowed easily by what seems like nothing but untold cruelty by the Y'shendra of today.
