Ixtab

Ixtab is a fictitious deity in the World of Thera campaign setting. Also known as the Faceless Lady, she is a minor death goddess primarily concerned with funerary rites and weighing the recently deceased' souls for passage to the Afterlife.

Ixtab is represented as a woman in distinct white robes whose face is concealed by a large hood. She is a psychopomp who determines the worthiness of souls to ascend to the Afterlife. Her portfolio also includes being the Goddess of the Blind and presiding over the concept of Fairness.

Ixtab favors the colors white, yellow, and the dull metallics of silver and gold. Flowers are an important symbol of the ephemeral nature of life, and these have become an important symbol of the Faceless Lady.

The Church of Ixtab remains well represented throughout Thera, as their priestesses serve a small undertakers in most places. In more rural settings, priestesses are often tapped to serve as arbiters of small-scale disputes, or as judges in a pinch. The Church also runs numerous homes and schools for the blind, particularly blind children. Many of these visually impaired girls are welcomed into the Church, their inability to see believed to be a sign of favor among the faithful.

Priestesses of the Church are almost always adherents of the Grave Domain.
