Holy Books: The Book of Suns. 

Ja Zoi is a curator of all the sweetest poisons, toxins, and venoms. All that ends life. He grows and cultivates the deadliest plants and beasts selectively breeding plant and beast to make the deadliest of hybrids. He is the Son of Tasmar Oriondus and Vexia Katar. 

His symbol is Sweet Embrace – A Viper and Cobra coiled together around a sprig of deadly nightshade.  

Ja Zoi when active on Ithia, his Celestial Body is the Serpent a series of Vibrant lights that move across the sky led by a comet.  

Ja Zoi’s Plane is a place of shadow, darkness, and unnerving silence.  Once can feel wood and bamboo underfoot and walls of paper. Occasional lanterns float through the air down long lonely halls that carry chilling drafts. The only light source are bioluminescent fungus, flowers, butterflies, spiders, and snakes. 

Ja Zoi maintains no divine artifacts. 

Ja Zoi is sickly pale flesh and dark night blue chitin. Black veins beneath his thin skin, an emasciated body sports eight long limbs ending in boney blades, a long stinger tipped tail, and horns that twist out from his inhuman head in all directions curling back in places to grow pierce his own flesh. A Hood like a cobra flare from the back of his head and small spines cover his back. He sports pedipalps and serpent-like fangs. Ja Zoi can stand on two legs using his other six limbs as long bladed arms.  

Ja Zoi is an apathetic being fascinated by the beauty he finds in death. He doesn’t like when death is overly drawn out, painful, malicious, or overly elaborate. He and his followers mean to strike silent, sudden, and absolute with a touch of flare and style. His servants gather tribute in his name to spread his beautiful gifts to those able to afford and deserving of his attention and gifts. Ja Zoi has special gifts for those who harm children, oh such sweet, sweet, eternal gifts He grants his divine servants the power to walk on walls, water, ceilings, and leap great distances. Preserve and concentrate poisons, turn invisible, meld with shadows, create areas of silence, and absorb the life span of those they slay.   

Ja Zoi is worshipped in dark places that have never known light more than the light of a single candle to make the darkness show all the deeper. Ja Zoi accepts those who do not find offense or distaste in the morbid or death itself, but he does not let any blood crazed lunatic join his servants. He chooses those with style, flare, and personality. He is strict his servants cannot seek to harm those who have no chance of self-defense, they cannot harm children, they can only kill their targets, and they are discouraged from harming women. Coin, toxins, poisons, and venoms are collected and sacrificed in Ja Zoi’s name.
