Sedna is the horrible goddess of revenge charged with bringing divine retribution upon any hapless mortals that have offended the gods. She is sometimes known as the 'Punisher of the gods' for she does just that and with expert skill. The goddess appears as an anthropomorphic being with the body of a shapely Zentradi woman but the head of a fearsome lioness. She wields two weapons, a falchion and a scimitar, and is capable to using both simultaneously in combat as she slices through her enemies.
According to Zentradi mythology, Sedna is the divine offspring of Anu, the sun god. As her father is a symbol of goodness and light, Sedna is dark and bestial. She is said to be a representation of her father's darker side who sprang from his mind during a fit of rage. She is the goddess responsible for handing out punishment for any perceived transgression and it is said that when she smells blood, she goes into a berserk rage destroying all around her until her bloodlust is appeased. She is often associated with the lioness.
Although not an actual war deity, she has been known to associate with Jocasta, the goddess of war, from time to time.
Dogma
Disobediance to the gods is not to be taken lightly. Slay and kill any who would oppose the call of the divine. The guilty deserve no quarter and must be rooted out and destroyed in any way possible. Never allow a transgressor of any wrong to go unpunished or you risk the wrath of the Deathstalker. The goddess commands her followers to track and kill any creature who offends her or her clerics. Such a creature must be followed to the ends of the earth until revenge is enacted.
Clergy and Temples
Clerics of Sedna are a small yet fairly organized sect. They are greatly feared by the population at large for their tendency toward violence and bloodletting. Those in positions of power will sometimes use her followers to carry out some act of revenge. Clerics are organized in a loose hierarchy and favor the color red or golden yellow in their garments. Her clerics will sometimes sponsor a military organization known as the 'Hunters of the Damned,' a group reserved for powerful rangers of the Sednite faith. Her clerics will sometimes multi-class as cleric/rangers. Gather Information, Sense Motive, Search and Spot are common skills for this faith as is the Track feat.
Temples dedicated to the Deathstalker are small yet sturdy structures. They are usually found in more chaotic lands and are certainly well known in the barbaris cities of Angharad where her faith is the most active. Larger temples will often be built around a fighting pit lined with wooden poles wherer sacrificial victimes are literally thrown to the lions. The most important religious rites will involve a drawn out hunt with most of the clerics of the local temple taking part. The prey is selected well in advance and is generally a great enemy of the temple or a traitor of the community. The clerics and their assistants and beasts will hunt their selected prey and kill them as an offering to their goddess. The blood is then streaked upon the cheeks of the participants.
