Among the ranks of the infernal are not just those devils
formed in Hell, but creatures of the divine who fell with their lord Asmodeus.
The Whore Queens followed Lord of Darkness from the lands of light and have
made a name for themselves among the male centric hierarchies of Hell. Eiseth
is the Whore Queen of battle, revenge, and wrath and I propose to you this week
three possible sects to follow her teachings.
As always, let us imagine we are sitting at our
theoretical gaming table. Our imaginary GM sets out the rules for the game that
we will play. In this game, we are to make a follower of Eiseth. The character
does not need to be a divine caster, just a devotee of The Erinyes Queen. What
character do you make?

Divinity Hunters
Eiseth uses her infernal minions to war with the
celestial realms. On earth the Divinity Hunters war directly against those who
serve the good gods in the mortal realm. Trained to hunt and kill clerics and
paladins, as well as planar foes bound to the material plane the Divinity
Hunters hope to one day sever the connection between the gods of good and their
worshipers, by doing away with those who pray to them. They are especially keen
to root out all cults of the Empyreal Lord Ragathiel.
The Divinity Hunters careful pick who might join their
ranks. They search for people dissatisfied by the churches of the good gods and
offer them an outlet to feed their wrath. They especially seek out the young
and impressionable so they can train them in a secret monastery somewhere in
Isger. Anyone can do battle for Eiseth but those trained by the sect itself
usually become warpriests, anti-paladins, inquisitors, and rangers.
The Black Wing Division
Although it seems counter to the orderly nature of Hell
many of Eiseth’s followers are plagued by anger issues. Would they not have
means to channel this rage they would become no better than savage barbarians.
A group of female devotees – each with unparalleled beauty to match their rage
– have formed a subsect within the Hellknight, Order of the Nail. From Korvosa,
these female warriors do battle against the savage tides of Varisia,
personified by the tribes of the Shoanti.
Members of the Black Wing divisions are usually chosen
internally from the Order of the Nail. Occasionally the group will find a woman
believe belongs among their ranks from outside the Hellknights. They will guide
this perspective member through the process of becoming one of the feared
knights before inducting her into The Black Wing Division.
The Descriers
Although Eiseth has a hatred for the heaven’s in general
the only deity she despises on a one on one level is another denizen – or
former denizen – of Hell. The Infernal Due Lorthact betrayed her and for that
she hunts him down. She has determined he is not in Hell and has begun scouring
the other realms. Her Descriers are a mortal sect that searches for him on
Golarion, usually be uncovering sects dedicated to The Unraveler and torturing
them for information.
The sect is mostly groups of hunters and trackers, whether that be through the dark forests or the urban streets. Many are also skilled interrogators and torturers who use their talents to squeeze information from the cultists the capture. Investigators, rangers, hunters, inquisitors, and rogues are the most common members of this group.
Even the orderly nature of Hell needs a way to display
its unholy wrath. Who is your disciple of Eiseth? Why have they chosen to
dedicate themselves to The Erinyes Queen? Where does their devotion to this
Whore Queen come from? Let me know in
