-Beatrix-
Symbol: Although her following is small and her membership does not have any particular symbols of this deity, it is not uncommon for the Christiannan faith to attribute masks, often made of pearl or porcelain with exaggerated frowns or smiles, with this Goddess. Those who do worship this deity use mirrors often, and while it is not a direct symbol of Beatrix, mirrors play an important role in her rituals and worship.
Place of Existence: Members of Christianna and Aurora have long held that Beatrix exists in a realm it stole from Bephmalea, existing in a domain similar to the Fey that exists adjacent to the Realm of Nhearn. While the idea of Beatrix having her own space as the other Gods do also is believed within her following, those who are in the higher authority of her religions believe that she exists within the Realm of Nhearn, hiding behind the world of reflections and appearing often through the use of mirrors.
Signs: Mirrors that appear to be darker than the reflection should be are reported as signs that Beatrix is present, but any area that gives a reflection that draws a viewer's attention due to a fear or anxiety are considered to be signs that she is watching.
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Beatrix has gone through several moments of grandeur, gathering followings numbering in the thousands with dedicated worship halls and estates offered to her uses. Although historians claim that she has had these moments of power, there are many centuries and whole Ages within the Empire that her presence is entirely disregarded. At times she is so absent that there are many who believe she was a magician who fooled others into worshipping her and that she is simply a legend to ward off thoughts of vanity.
There are several documents within the Imperial archives that were created by Inquisitors who were dealing with the cults of Beatrix which outline much of what the Empire considers the Goddess to be. When her following wishes to make contact with their deity they use mirrors and use ritual to summon her. While offerings of precious metals, stones, and gems seem to be useful, Beatrix often appears to those who offer perfumes, oils, and tools of self care. It is customary for those who are already within the cult to dress nicely, apply makeup, and be well groomed before summoning her, while it is important that those seeking an audience for the first time to wear little in the way of luxury or risk appearing too pompous in her presence.
The Inquisition also managed to interrogate several higher members during an outbreak of the cult among noble houses and discovered that they had all offered servitude for boons from the Goddess. It seems that Beatrix, whether or not it is a deity or a magic wielder of high potential, is able to grant even farfetched requests of her followers. One of the major events that led to a capture of the high priests of Beatrix at this time was the disposal of over one hundred bodies into the Imperial River near Amnith for which no one claimed responsibility, claiming only that they offended Beatrix and the Goddess herself sought retribution.
Among her following, the Inquisition was unable to determine an appearance for the Goddess. Interrogations and investigations only claimed that the Goddess chooses to appear as the reflection of the viewer, although the feeling of encountering a stranger seems to be unanimous among those who claim to have witnessed the Goddess.
Even if her existence is real or the myth has simply perpetuated through the Ages after the Age of Woe, the consequences of interacting with Beatrix have been real. While she may offer great power, lasting beauty, and grant wishes, she also is a dangerous and malicious presence that is willing to cull her own members out of spite.
