Niamh-Flinn Trayvold[/size]
Niamh-Flinn Trayvold is the Goddess of Darkness. She is often unseen to those her worship her, moving as if a shadow amongst the living and the dead alike. She is a dangerous person, a trained assassin and a lover of chaos. Though, there is more to the darkness than just the shadows of the world and Niamh pauses there, hiding and waiting for those brave enough to summon her to them.

Each tier of this nature is progressively more beneficial than the last, and past blessings are retained.

Shadow- The third tier of official favor has been gained from Niamh-Flinn Trayvold. Those whom have reached the tier of Shadow have been marked with a tattoo of black ink, which ensnares the forearm of the wearer in a long spiral from thumb to elbow.

Those who have reached this tier are unaffected by the sun or UV light, they may walk in daylight as if it was darkness as well as gain energy from its presence. This sharpens their senses and reflexes.
Bladed - The fifth and final tier of official favor has been gained from Niamh-Flinn Trayvold. The Bladed have been marked with a tattoo of a shadow skull. They have the benefits attained at the prior four tiers but are also able to sculpt the illusive darkness into a solid shape. Thin, sparkling like the moonlight itself, and with a jagged razor edge; The Bladed can formulate knife-like weapons from the shadows that, when used against the bare skin of an opponent, strikes their heart with a momentary but paralysing paranoia.
Accursed of Niamh-Flinn Trayvold:

Insecurity - The fourth tier of the Accursed has been cast by Niamh-Flinn Trayvold. Not only will this accursed suffer those tiers that have come before it, they will also suffer crippling paranoia. Friends and family will pose threat to them and they will see fear and danger at every corner.
Destruction - The fifth and final tier of the Accursed has been cast by Niamh-Flinn Trayvold. Those who manage this tier of anger will be marked with black tears in tattoo ink on their face, to show the world that they have displeased the goddess.
