Enhidurh

Domains: Life, Change
Throughout the crooked, winding streets of the rambling city of Karhutters, Enhidurh’s name is spoken as a common word, as idiomatic as it is holy. But venture deeper into the foggy, deep woods of Curgulhia and one might find Enhidurh a whispered name, a name spoken with deepening reverence as one travels into darker, taller forests.

Enhidurh, known by outsiders as “the Bloodgod,” is among the most ancient deities of Uarach’s storied past. With an origin lost to time, its least devout followers might explain that Enhidurh, “She who Spins,” weaves and spins the blood of all living beings into a mighty web, upon which she rests. Those who taint their blood by performing evil deeds or deeds contrary to one’s ideals are supposedly corrupting Enhidurh’s web, posing a threat to the balance of all life and to the Bloodgod herself. Her most devout followers, however, deep in mystic groves and in darkened caves, may offer to read the yarn of your future - in exchange for an offering of blood, and in some cases, gold.

Dogma
To honor Enhidurh, one must be true to themselves, practicing honesty to one’s self and one’s desires. Enhidurh delights in the execution of her grand design, and those who oppose her machinations - knowingly or unknowingly - may fall victim to her scorn.

Enhidurhians strictly disavow the killing of spiders, seen as the children of the Great Spinner herself, and the eyes from which she watches the world. A folk religion, Enhidurhians follow rituals specific to whichever small community they inhabit, and as the forests of Curgulhia are well populated, but sparsely so, it is not uncommon for those living at the base of the Three Brothers to practice their traditions differently than those by the Silent Coast, at the tip of the world.

Enhidurh is likely to grant boons upon those who right the course of history towards her favor - and is likely to reward those who seek to understand her designs. Those who receive her highest blessing, it is rumored, are granted the art of transformation into monstrous spiders - though whether this is merely a Curgulhian babushka’s tale or a truth is yet to be seen.
