(symbol) (location) (legend) Sunala
soo-NAH-lah
(obscure information outside of Babel and religious circles)

Sunala, Goddess of Death Sunala is the Goddess of Death, and a matron of assassins. She is believed to devour the souls of her prey, giving them utter annihilation rather than the afterlife. Nonetheless, sometimes condemned criminals or wounded soldiers will pray to her, begging her for a quick death, seeking annihilation rather than the horrible, slow deaths they expect to face.

Despite her role, Sunala is depicted as a beautiful woman (by Babelite standards), with beauty rivaling that of her older sister, Inala.

In Babelite myth, Sunala is the only goddess of the seven that is spared from ever being subjected to getting killed off at the hands of the others. It is suspected that if someone were to introduce a story that did portray Sunala as dying, he or she would receive a personal visit from some priestesses of Sunala intent on purging this "heresy".

Sunala is also the name of a mountain located outside Babel, which houses a shrine to the goddess of the same name. It is not much of a secret that the priestesses of Sunala are often hired to perform ritualistic assassinations, though their services generally do not take them outside of Babel itself, and they never act against the ruling house of Babel (i.e., the Sabaoth, the High Prince, the High Princess, or whomever might hold the throne).

Rune of Sunala: The Corpse The rune that represents Sunala in Babelite script is also known as "The Corpse".
