Marzenya

Marzenya (pronounced: Mar-ZEN-yah) is Nadya's patron god. She is the goddess of magic, sacrifice, winter, and death.

Description
Marzenya's symbol is an openmouthed skull. She expects complete dedication. Her magic feels like ice, winter, and cosmic fury. She claimed Nadya as an infant. As the goddess of winter, she knows the taste of bitter cold, broken bones, and frozen ground choking out life. As goddess of death, she knows vengeance and the burning hatred that fuels the wars of men. She can be benevolent, but cruelty suits her better. She has a bitter rivalry with Velyos, and together with Peloyin, she banished Velyos.

Trivia

 * Marzenya seems to be based on the Slavic goddess Marzanna. Marzanna is the goddess of winter and death.
