Voortya

Voortya was the goddess of war, death, and the sea. The city which was founded by Voortya was Voortyashan. The city housed the elite warriors of the gods. These Voortyashani sentinels were used to subjugate, oppress, and maintain discipline among the Saypuri. Their home was a huge city built on a river mouth, Voortyashtan, and when the Divinities were killed, the city sank into the harbor and a new city had to be built on the land. Signe je Harkvaldsson was the head of an effort by Dreyling corporations to dredge all of the ruins out of the water to allow ships to enter the river mouth for trade.

The Kaj killed Voortya with the Black Lead on the Night of the Red Sands. This was the first time a Divinity had died. Later, a huge tomb filled with Voortyashani swords was discovered, the swords decayed to powder, and Voortya's miracles work for a short, scary time in the novel City of Blades. At the end of this novel Voortya's miracles no longer worked.
