Covalla, Lilly in the Valley

Covalla, the lady of death, is charged with giving each mortal a time of death. She stands waiting at the gate to the afterlife to usher in and judge all souls who come through. Though few, her preist and followers are often found working alongside church and communities to help with greiving, death, and the process of burial. Another portion of her believers often take it upon themselves to hunt down those who would disrupt the dead or circumvent their own time to die and inact vengeance upon them.

Dogma
       Covallan followers believe that all things have their time and place. This includes the ienevatible death at the end of life. As such, Covallan devotees tend to be more solemn and understanding. Often a Covallan priest or preistess can be found in places where large amounts of passing occur such as illness or war. Here they help to tend to the dead as well as the families of the recently departed.

There are few unbreakable rules in Covallan Scripture; Thou shalt not take the life of another before it's time. This act of murder is abhorent to a Covallan. One will never break the cycle of life, for this act is abhorrent to Covalla. One will not disturb the rest of the dead, for this is abhorrent to all. The reason is that all beings are meant to live out their lives and their deaths free of physical influence of others.

Lastly Colvallans are paculiar when it come to the undead. Undeath is a gift from Covalla for those who wish to serve their time here on the material plane past the point in hich their time has expires; a priviledge granted to precious few. In the case of the dead being forcibly brought back or the will of Covalla denied due to some powerful magics, then Covalla tasks her devotees to hunt them down and slay them. Undeath is a priviledge not to be abused for the sake of power.

Lore
Covalla migt seem as an inactive diety, one who would not come to aid mortals in their time of need. This could not be further from the truth. Covalla works in shadow and secret, wanting to appear as if balance occurs on its own. Her order is devoted tomaintaining this balance. Though most her myths and legends occur around small myths and folktales around the night and moon. One such tale is that death follows closely on a moonless night. Another is that a kiss from a moth means that Covalla has her eyes on you. The latter is not always said to be a bad thing, depending on the interpritation.
