Axaris is the other half of the goddess Zarakal.
When killed or angered, she will transform into the cursed, darker, goddess Zarakal, an evil goddess of death and vengeance.
Axaris is a guider of souls, a goddess who guides lost souls to the afterlife. She favors those who are loyal to their deities. The origin of Axaris is unknown, but it is commonly thought that she was formed when the first man died and his soul passed on to life after death. She originally was thought to have been a divine golden aura when she led the first man's soul to the afterworld, but later took on the form of a young woman. Another legend was that she saved three of the first men to be created after they died in a magical accident that destroyed their bodies. She rescued their souls, gave them new bodies, and blessed them with great power as her chosen heroes. They later betrayed her, spreading death and destruction across the realms. Before Axaris could take her revenge, the three men disappeared. What happened is still unknown today.
Axaris resides in no specific realm, but exists everywhere where there are souls to be led. Her symbol is an orb of gold engraved with Celestial saying: Those who seek life beyond death will receive.
Her form is the figure of a young human woman with a pale golden aura. Her wavy blonde hair reaches her waist and is moved by an invisible wind. Her eyes are molten gold. Her dress is made of golden silk and other gold chains as jewelry. She is seen as a caring figure, a being spurred on by kindness.
Her worshipers consist of those who have been betrayed and those who are lost. She offers guidance in exchange for an oath to be kind and loyal to others. Her clerics are charged with the duty of saving others who are less fortunate, outlined in her golden aura. She values life lived to the fullest and a kind heart. She has many places of worship, located on peaks that line up to the sun when it rises. The temples are lined with gold mirrors on the inside and outside, and become a glowing palace when the sunrise and sunset reflects off the mirrors. At those times, it is said that it is the most easiest to communicate with Axaris.
