Goddess of women. Only women are allowed into her higher sects, and she strongly encourages her followers to be socially
active. One of the most active and younger goddesses, she is often perceived as too pushy or vigilant for most. She has
also been sometimes known to employ the use of female monsters as messengers or solders, such as harpies, sphynx, or medusas.
She tends to always favor and protect women, regardless of any minor offenses. As such, it is customary and common for brothels
to contain frequent images of Shii.
Appearance: a strong-looking woman in a toga and glasses
Alternate Names: Valkrie Guardian, Keeper of the Southern Grove, Matron Vixen
Priesthood: followers of Shii are obviously almost exclusively female. Males in the sect are sometimes allowed, but are
always seen as a bit odd. The idea is spread that to become an official priestess of Shii, one must sacrifice a part of the
body, most commonly a toe. This is a lie created by the church and sworn to secrecy among the priestesses, since this will
ensure that only the dedicated will join and that they are not afraid of sacrifice for success. It is important that priestesses
be strong of heart, brave, and determined. Shii often encourages social and political activism among her followers, and they
are always to shelter and aid women and girls in need. Men are treated more skeptically, but are not wholly ignored if they
are decent and fair to the other sex. Shii also frequently welcomes powerful warriors among her clergy. It is considered
one of the greatest honors for a Shiite to best a male in combat, or some other male-dominated task or contest.
Symbol: a hammer marked with a rose or clearly female animals (such as lionesses or cow).
Domains: manipulation/charms, protection, balance, life
Afterlife: the faithful of Shii are placed in a realm where they are treated as goddesses by other women. Those who earn
her hatred are sent to a hellish world where they must run eternally from various female monsters.
