Please enter a description:<i>(obscure information outside of Ashdod, or religious circles)</i> <p> <a href=gallery/barada.jpg><img src=gallery/barada-t.jpg align=right ALT="Barada, Goddess of Secrets"></a> One of the Seven Sisters, major goddesses of the Babelite pantheon. <p> Although the exact "birth order" of the Seven Sisters is in question, Barada is traditionally held to be the youngest of the seven, though this doesn't exempt her from her fair share of bloodshed and mayhem. She is the matron of spies and seers, but also of those keeping secrets ... so she's also seen as a matron of thieves, at times, and she's also been strongly associated with wealth. Supplication is made to Barada in hopes that she will reveal secrets ... or make sure that they are kept. Businessmen often seek her blessing on their businesses ... or protection from thieves. Barada is a bit of a mischief-maker, sometimes choosing to reveal an otherwise perfectly-kept secret, just for the sake of stirring things up. Thus, when there is an unexplained "leak" of information, it is common to blame Barada's trouble-making. <p> It is believed by many that the priestesses of Barada controlled a vast spy network that (for the most part) served the Sabaoth of Babel, mostly for the purpose of keeping tabs on the Houses of Babel and their activities. <p> Mount Barada is also a location outside Babel, where there is a shrine built to the goddess of the same name. <p> <img src=gallery/rune-barada.gif align=right ALT="Rune of Barada: The Golden Key"> The rune representing Barada in Babelite script is also known as the "Golden Key".
