Holy Books: The Book of Crowns.    

Korrel is almost exclusively known as the Fox Goddess and is worshipped primarily in the Isles. She is Septriss’ apprentice and inherited the domain of Invention from the banished God Sekivar son of Septriss. She is the Daughter of Mealis and Zatolen. 

Her Symbol is the Ascension- The three moons of Ithia Azure, Saffron and Maroon arranged in a triangle with a star rising in the middle ascending with a delicate V on it.  

When active on Ithia, Korrel’s celestial body is the Totem Fox a set of bright purple stars forming the head of a fox. When all the siblings are active their constellations form a totem pole. 

Korrel’s divine plane is a great hunters hall, tavern, and apothecary surrounded by a village of the honored dead of the fallen Children of the Isles. All three remaining aligned siblings share this divine plane.  

Korrel does not maintain any artifacts. 

Korrel is delicate, pale porcelain skin, bright orange hair ending in white tips, and inhuman ethereal beauty that hurts the minds of mere mortals. She wears robes of layered blues, yellows, and reds in honor of the moons often seen wearing the signature leather plague masks of the alchemists, their long-brimmed hats, and their thick layers of robes in blue, yellow, and red.  

Korrel is shy, humble, and appreciates the knowledge of others. She is the pride in taking care of oneself, of seeking to better the body, mind, and soul. She is not the petty pride of stagnation and spite. She seeks to learn from any with ideas to teach be they beggars or gods and shares her teachings freely. She avoids confrontation when able but when cornered or others are threatened, she will tear out the throats of threat with claw, fang, and spell. She grants her divine servants the powers of divine insight, stabilize potions, empower potions, bolster social bonds, imbue people with pride, and grant divine muse to the lost and bored. 

Korrel is worshipped in villages, household shrines, schools, and academies. She is worshipped by students, teachers, friends, family, and any who take pride in themselves or their work. She accepts sacrifices of clothing riddled with foxtails, symbols of personal advancement, symbols of friendship and family bonds, and excess medicine.
