Diphath is a lesser Babelite deity who is likely a precursor of the better known Goddess of Vengeance, Rephath. She is not recognized as part of the "Seven Sisters", and in the present-day Babelite mythos, Diphath figures into the scheme sometimes as a lesser, seperate goddess. However, the most "official" version of her story, and the one taught by Yodhrephath, goes something like this:

Although this tale purports to be of a time "before the Sabaoth," the first known recorded instance of it is little more than a thousand years old, making it unlikely that it refers to an actual event or person. Stories with older roots describe Diphath as a goddess, and scholars tend to believe that the "mortal woman" story was invented by Yodhrephath as part of a campaign to squash the dwindling cult of Diphath. (Suggesting such to a Yodhrephath, or any believer in the Sisters, however, would be inadvisable, to say the least.)

It has been simply put that, where as Rephath represents "Do unto others as they have done unto you," Diphath's credo could be "Do unto others before they do unto you." The word "diphath" in Babelite roughly translates into a concept of "decisive first strike": taking action against an enemy before that enemy can be allowed to cause harm. Whether or not the danger presented by the enemy is real or imagined is hardly of any concern.

Diphath may have once had a greater following, as evidenced by ancient shrines to her name that can still be found amidst the towers of Babel, in outlying territories, and the most famous -- though believed cursed -- one on Mount Rephath itself, but she has largely fallen by the wayside. Most present-day worshippers of Diphath see her as an independent, lesser goddess, having no particular connection to the Seven Sisters. In Babel, the few worshippers of Diphath usually keep their activities secret for fear of persecution, but in the surrounding countryside, some pockets of open worship remain.

In depictions, Diphath has little established as to her personal appearance. She is shown as a female Eeee with head hair cut short, and no particular establishment of what her hair, fur or eye coloration should be. It's believed that the legend of her being a blood-drinker predates the story of her as a mortal woman, though there is some debate among scholars as to a matter of cause and effect: Does Diphath consume blood because this is a practice abhorrent for a modern-day Babelite Eeee? Or, is it because Diphath is depicted as drinking blood, that such a practice now has a negative stigma? Or could it be that the two are unrelated?
