Vexia Katar the Goddess of every desire pursued by most of the Gods and several of the Goddesses. Vexia embodies plenty, festivities, joy, milestones, and all things worth celebrating. She manipulates the world from her own home on the mortal coil having fled the groping hands and cravings of the other Gods. Her protection from unwanted advances woven with her own power combined with the power of the True Mother and Zatolen and only those she wishes to find her may make their way to her ever moving home. Vexia’s divine servants provide a good deal of charity work and protection for women needs within larger cities.  

Her Symbol is The Endless Vessel – A wine vessel being poured into a stack of goblets that overflow into one another. 

When active on Ithia, her divine body is the Vessel of Light a series of stars in the shape of an amphora pouring out an aurora of wine red over the northern reaches of Ithia.  

Vexia Katar has forsaken her Divine Realm and now dwells in a mansion that moves around the mortal world and protected from the whims of the other Gods.  

Vexia maintains the  

-Vessel of Excess a wine vessel that pours forth from it an endless trickle of divine ambrosia wine which allows the drinker to consume endlessly, relax, and to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh all without any negative consequence. Those under its influence don’t gain weight, feel sickly full, get food poisoning, uncomfortably drunk, hung over, contract illnesses, or other consequence for actions. They have endless libido, stamina, and fortitude. 

-The Wine Red Blade a beautiful thrusting sword with a blade of red wine-colored blade of glass, crystal, or solidified wine.  It shimmers and when it cuts the living it spreads a sense of intoxication through their veins. What toxin it inflicts is up to the wielder, but it can quickly leave those struck black out drunk, stoned out of their mind, or overwhelmed in hallucinations. This sword was granted to her mortal mate who she stole from the embraces of Zale. 

Vexia is lust-incarnate, every feature curated for the individual viewer’s fantasies. When not being the embodiment of lust and fantasy she is a porcelain-skinned woman with long wine dark hair that flows to the floor and puddles like a pond of gleaming liquor around her. She has long pink nails and enjoys intricate dresses with as much fabric and exposed skin in the same outfit.  

Vexia Katar is calm, patient, and embodies her hedonistic domains and sedentary lifestyle of endless pleasure. She fled to the mortal coil when her siblings’ showed signs of losing their war against the Fates and that she might be taken as a consort of the Fates. Vexia rarely allows people to understanding how cunning she really is. She misdirects, shifts, and bends the energy of her foes against one another. She turns plots on their heads, slips blades across throats in the right places and turn shaky alliances of the malicious gods against to ruin. Divine Servants of Vexia Katar can manipulate emotions, inflicted intoxication, reduce or empower the strength of alcohol, inflict pleasure, shape their own flesh, alter perceptions, cure sexual diseases and are they themselves immune to them. They are also well versed in creating potions to cleanly and safely prevent pregnancies, help deal with menstruation, and many other issues of both feminine and masculine issues. 

Vexia Katar is one of the most worshiped Gods if not just indirectly. Every festival serves her will, every party, feast, and celebration is from her name. Her temples are places of vice, fleshly desire, gambling, and drink where many find their wages and time spent. The Priestesses of Vexia are free of the risks of other whores and even capable of curing it. Vexia accepts sacrifices of jewelry, fine wines and liquors, perfumes, and acts of hedonism.
