The form of the snake.*** Widely known as the Maiden of Pain, she is cold and sinister in demeanor, speaking softly and moving with sensual grace. She is occasionally known to appear as a slim, beautiful human maiden, with straight, thigh-length, platinum-blonde hair. She is a master of inflicting physical and psychological suffering, her portfolio encompassing hurt and torture. You would be hard pressed to find worshipers of Diniih throughout Caledon, as she is a lesser deity and servant under Naaz, but many masochists or torturers may dedicate their vile rituals and practices to Diniih through blood & pain sacrifices. Though a pain-hungry goddess, Diniih is known to be resistant towards death itself, as it robs one of pain. > [!dm] > ### Institutions > There is no institutional church, accepted or otherwise, that is devoted entirely to Diniih. You might find statues or symbols dedicated to her in temples to Naaz, but nobody acknowledges Diniih as an almighty power. Clerics who serve Diniih are often commonfolk who specialize in all matters of pain, be it on others or inflicted on themselves. Meeting a cleric of Diniih is a rare thing, and never an 'official' position, as designated by a church or temple. > > ### Notes > [Additional DM-only information]
