Anja

Anja, often referred to as The Vengeful, is one of the major deities on the planet of Sprin'Torel. Many see Anja's symbol, and are immediately fearful, knowing that she will enact revenge on anyone who does her wrong. This reputation has made it so that people rarely know what to do around her followers, knowing that ignoring them may be as problematic as actively doing them wrong.

This mercurial nature that comes with her and her followers has made it so that many of her followers are shunned by the general public, with only the most cruel members of society choosing to follow her.

Worshipers
Anja's worshipers believe that what they do is not only just, but essentially required of them. They think that it is their divine right to punish those who have wronged them, believing that they have either been put in a unique position where they can get revenge - or that they simply need to get stronger to get it. This mentality has created tension between her followers and the rest of society given that a person invoking her name tends to be not only cruel enough to want revenge, but to find countless ways of carrying this out.

Clerics
Many of Anja's clerics believe that they are as justified as those who worship Veotl, believing their revenge to be a personal justice. As such, they tend to have a very self-righteous air to themselves, yearning to punish anyone who would do them wrong - even if such a slight was justified. In spite of this, plenty of Anja's clerics are revered in some circle given that they are willing to not only dole out personal revenge, but to help those who burn with the fires of revenge, as well.

Orders

 * The Vindicators
 * Some of those who worship Anja tend to make it their personal goal to go around the world and punish those who have wronged others. While they believe this is out of a sense of justice, often their punishments outweigh the original injustice. Regardless, they are called on for help very often - though mostly by people who already see the value in worshiping her.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Anja involves many rituals and rites. Many of these are for the strength to carry out revenge plans, but there are some for wishing cruelties on their enemies. Below is an example of a prayer to Anja:"'Anja, I pray that you might expose the evil done against me and that the perpetrator might be brought to repentance or else experience the pain they inflicted on others. Let them be unable to sleep; awaken them with the painful reality of what they’ve done and judge them accordingly. If it must be tragedy that awakens them to the trail of evil they have left behind, then do whatever is necessary to bring to their senses.'"
