Strega

Strega is the goddess of death, and of fate. She is a hag that plays at games of strategy with the shades of the dead, and must be defeated in order for the spirit of the dead to move on to rebirth or eternal rest, as chosen. Aristos was the first mortal soul to defeat her, albeit with some advice from Arete. As a result of that slight, Strega often allies herself with Enyon. Temples to Strega are called Sepulchers, headed by Necrophants. Graveyards and mausoleums are hallowed to Strega, and almost always hold at least a shrine, if not a full temple. Worshipers pay homage to Strega when loved ones have died, and make sacrifices to appease her and speed the souls of the departed on their way to the afterlife. The symbol of Strega is a white skull on a black field.
