The Mother of Many Hands is a venerable deity, a deity of wronged mothers, of vengeful widows and bitter spinsters, and of hopeful maidens and wives. She aids in peaceful and painful births and deaths, and all of life in between.
When she appears (usually in dreams), her skin is alabaster-white, and her eyes and hair are raven-black. She floats above the ground with tattered robes ending in hooked claws, and her countless arms are constantly in motion. She speaks almost exclusively in cryptic rhyme. While the Mother of Many Hands can be gentle and aid others, she is relentless in destroying those who would wrong her servants, even those who work against one another. Statistics: The Mother of Many Hands is Neutral, with capacity to act in both Good and Evil matters. How you can use the Mother of Many Hands in your games: - Humanoids have mostly moved on to "nicer" and younger deities, while more primitive and savage deities like the Mother of Many Hands tend to still be worshipped by other races like Orcs or Bugbears. Her shamans are dangerous opponents who can heal their tribe and birth monstrous creatures to defend them. - Some humans still serve the Mother as hedge-witches. Their religion is looked down upon by 'civilized' folk, but they often serve as back-alley healers and assistants to those in need of help. - The Mother of Many Hands has slumbered for many years, but perhaps she is awakening.
