Vecia the Lady of Fate is a neutral goddess. She governs the forces of time and destiny. Legends say she holds the Threads of Fate on a great spindle which connect to every living being in Halestia. With the spindle, she can see the possible futures a being has available, and ultimately plans which is fated. She remembers all past events and theorizes all future events.

Symbol

The symbol of Vecia is either an hourglass or a threaded spindle. Sometimes the two are intermingled.

She is associated with the spider, a weaver and keeper of the cycle of life. She is also associated with the elemental force of air, which brings change.

Works

Vecia was responsible for Zif's ascension to godhood; stories tell of her great love for him.

Description

Such a mysterious deity is the object of many stories. It is said that she knows the fates of the other gods but is forbidden to disclose them. Vecia is described as an exotically attractive woman; skin the color of caramel, dark violet all-knowing eyes, and long, intricately styled, silky black hair. Some stories claim she weaves her extravagant clothes with the threads of fate of deceased mortals. Art pieces depict her levitating with legs crossed holding the spindle, surrounded by three burning censures representing the past, present, and future. Depending on the region, she is depicted with either two or four arms. A small group of organized combatants using the chakram claim it as an hommage to Vecia, who is said to wield her spindle as such.

Personality

Vecia is quiet, reserved, and very patient.
