Freesus, the goddess of vengeance

Today's post will be another glossary entry as I have promised. This one is one of the many gods spoken about in the book Whom the Gods Love. She plays a major role in many of the important god stories of the world of Tanavia. She's similar to a trickster character in that she causes a lot of mischief, but unlike many trickster characters she isn't particularly likeable.

Without further ado, the entry:

Freesus - Freesus is an old god. She is the goddess of vengeance. Freesus was often called upon by those who believed they had been wronged. Unlike Tempora, the god of justice, who would extract compensation for the wronged parties and a punishment as was merited by the crime, Freesus would bring pain and suffering down upon those who had wronged one of her followers. Freesus was fond of curses that fit the supposed crime: forcing thieves to have everything stolen from them, no matter how little they had, be it their meager possessions, or lacking that their wives and children; forcing murderers to have all their family and friends slain; forcing adulterers to fall in love with those who would never return their affections. Freesus could be fickle though, and worshiping her was dangerous. If she ever felt an acolyte was not making sufficient offerings to her and worshiping her with the appropriate reverence, she would turn her wrath on them and dole out the worst of her punishments.

This is a simpler version of a typical entry. For my own reference, I would have who this god married, who she sired, significant stories she was included in, etc. For this blog entry however, I've gone with the briefer entry to keep spoilers away.  A great deal of this detail will probably never make it into this trilogy. When everything is said and done, I plan to make the whole glossary freely available to anyone interested. Some of my favorite little bits of story are in these entries and I would hate to see them go to waste.
