Kharisa, Goddess of Desire and Sacrifice

Called The Hungry Fire, Mistress of Need and The Unsatisfied Lust.

As befits a goddess of neither good nor evil but deepest need, Kharisa's temple rests upon the slope of the Mountain of Fire, across the glassy plains of Yeth. Within its forbidding obsidian walls, her faithful tend the many fires that light the darkened corners. Her altar hangs above a river of molten magma, suspended on chains forged by fire giants in the distant misty past. Only a span of smooth granite bridges the distance between the temple floor and her altar. It is said that while many make pilgrimage to her temple, few are willing to pay her price for aid - that they must sacrifice what they love to obtain what they desire.
