Mysrai is called Scarlet Goddess, Thousandfold, the Manifold Adjudicator, the Urchin in Ivory, the Thrice-Crowned, the Black Star of Morning, the Hermit Clad in Saffron, and a thousand other names. For each epithet bestowed upon Mysrai by the Beloved, the veiled cult calling Gaudiguch their home, there is a different face, a different story, and a different perspective to the Lord and Lady of the Thousand Hands.

Serving this mysterious, mercurial deity, the Beloved of Mysrai are themselves an unorthodox orthodoxy. Taking the One Law of the City as their own the Beloved follow no set mold but their own True Will, finding reality a malleable tale, and each veil of their deity as a story and vision through which the true nature of infinite realities and possibilities might be manifested.

Before the great exodus, Mysrai was noted for Their shifting, strange perceptions. It was this fluidity of viewpoint that saw Them appointed to the Triumvirate to judge the fate of the Twelve Traitors alongside Hoaracle, the Forest Dreamer and Jadice of the Ice Plains.

Description

With much of Their figure fading in and out of shifting realities draped around Them, there is little that can distinguish the gender of this small figure. It is only certain that They are a radiant immortal. Where Their body is visible, small tufts of short-cropped fur can be seen in intermittent patches, the flesh beneath visible pulsing with colourful hieroglyphics of a dead language. Set deep into an elongated, canid head are twin vortexes of inky black Void, stars and constellations spinning and swirling through the depths in nonsensical, hypnotic patterns. Atop Their head sit two peculiar ears, like cones that have been flipped upside down, swivelling constantly to capture more of the world around Them. Occasionally appearing from behind Their back is a thick tail that tapers to a thin point just above Their ankles. In the area just beyond Them, enormous limbs of black sand and forked red lightning twitch in restless anticipation to cause untold destruction through the strange and alien realities barely glimpsed through the chaotic sandstorm.
