Traldiv
The Dagger in the Night
Rank: Goddess
Nature: Evil
Portfolio: Secrets, deception
Weapon: Dagger

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 Furies, an assassin's guild, assume a deviation of this symbol as their trademark.

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. 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.
