About

Hemophilia is the quiet, steadfast god of weaponcraft, improvement and bones. She is a dedicated weaponsmith, driven to continue improving her craft even after her near-death. She dabbles in many other crafting mediums, like cooking, wood carving, masonry and bone-carving.

Hemophilia is known to be a reticient and humble deity, downplaying her strides as an artisan, and always seeking to improve her crafts.

As a crafter of weapons, Hemophilia does have a pugnacious streak. She loves a good spar, and a well-smithed weapon deserves use. It is said that she beams with confidence in the heat of battle, as a master of all weapons. Her body of shifting flesh and bone is also well-smithed weapon; Hemophilia is said to be just as skilled in unarmed combat. However, she is a gracious and merciful winner. War and weaponry is both violence and art.

Worship

Common Worshippers: Blacksmiths, Martial Artists, Warriors, Guards

Out of the Eldritch Pantheon deitities, Hemophilia is the most widly worshipped. Perhaps it is because anyone who seeks to improve thier craft, be it strengthening their bodies or their cooking skills can find kinship with this god. Those who put care and commitment into their practice may find protection from her.

Hemophilia does not often make personal pacts with mortals, but she has been known to have sympathy for artisans who fall into peril before their masterpieces are complete, sometimes delaying their deaths for them.

It is a said that, long ago, a great outside power slew Hemophilia with ease, slicing her head clean off her body. She was so dear to her fellow eldritch deities that they refused to let her die. They stitched her body together and gave her a potion of vitality. Despite their best endeavors and intentions, Hemophila could not be revived the same as she was.

The once oceanic eldritch deity now resides near the fiery entrance to the Afterlife, unable to go far beyond the steps of death. Hemophilia continues to exists in an undead state, neither lively nor easily killed again.
