Traldiv the Dagger in the Night is an evil goddess. She is associated with secrets and deception. She is said to know all secrets kept by mortals.

Symbol

Simply enough, Traldiv's symbol is a downward-facing dagger separating a pair of eyes. The Shadow Talons, an assassin's guild, assume a deviation of this symbol as their trademark.

Traldiv is mostly associated with the cat, particularly a black cat, as a night animal who hides and watches. Because of legend, she is also associated with the bat, another nocturnal creature. She is also associated with the elemental force of slime, as assassins employ poisons and acids in their business.

Description

Traldiv is most often presented in stories as wearing a dark violet or navy blue cloak. From under the hood, two keen, glowing-red eyes peer out knowingly; her face is never depicted. Her cloak is said to be shut save for when she attacks, and even then only an arm seemingly shrouded in darkness thrusts forth a gray-tinged blade.

Personality

Traldiv is most often silent, cunning, and calculating. She navigates the complex web of lies and secrets shared amongst mortals and immortals alike. Stories say she is present to witness assassinations, hired killings, and the telling of intriguing secrets. One particular legend suggests she assumed the form of a bat to eavesdrop on a tryst in the forest.
