About
Akasha is hated by many for her true purpose in the world is often misunderstood.

It is her duty to bring death and destruction to those who have outlived their usefulness in the world. She restores the universes cycles, but those in power often hate her because her actions frequently bring about their downfall.

History and Relationships
No one is really sure about Akasha's origin. Some say that when the first being died, her consciousness surfaced from somewhere in the universe. This would put her creation at around the same time as Ryxaros'. Some say that it was when the first mortal being died, which would put it much later.

Regardless of her origins, Akasha took her place in the pantheon seeing souls on to their afterlives. It's said that she also set up each deities' homeplane as well as the elemental planes and the alignment based planes.

It's also said that there are ways to petition her for an extended lease on life, though this is only hearsay.

Obedience
Think of one secret you know and write it on a slip of paper in the least common language you know. Make sure no one sees it and burn it, consigning it to the Lady of Secrets. Watch the smoke rise, trying to swirl it into spirals that represent the cycles of life and death. After this, ruminate on death and how it comes for us all in time.

Scripture
The word which no one dares speak is untrue.

The word which no one knows is untrue.

The word which can never be written is untrue.

That which is out of sight is out of mind. That which is out of mind is unreal.

Make no mistake: the unknown threat is a threat. The unknown joy is a loss.

The unknown threat that harms is not out of mind. The unknown joy is no less beautiful.

Pay mind to the tides of reality, to the wax and wane of the word.

Pay mind to the symbol defined by the absence of ink.

The truth is in the cycle: all things true come and go in their own time.

The truth is in the word: all things true are spoken of.

The truth is in the lie: all things known are lies.
