of Neutrality)

Despite resurrections, deeds, and other ways to return to existence,
death is an ultimately final thing. When the bridge between life and
death is crossed for the final time, and a soul is allowed through
the Ebon Gates, Gosaena is there waiting on the other side. She is
the goddess of death. Unlike Lorminstra,
when a spirit comes to Gosaena, it will not be returning to the mortal
realm.
Gosaena is a pariah among the other Arkati. She is gifted with
foresight, most specifically, knowledge of when everyone and everything
will die. The Arkati, now gods to the mortal races, had no desire
to recall their own mortality and so outcast her. Neither pantheon
will claim her, and no one will speak to her save Jastev,
whose own talent for foresight makes him sympathetic to her plight.
Gosaena never speaks, except on very rare occasions to Jastev.
She is as silent as the grave, and takes the souls due her without
regret, compassion or malice, only impartiality.
Gosaena’s preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a beautiful
woman with pale skin, long silver hair, and ice blue eyes. She wears
grey robes and a large grey cloak that covers brilliant white feathered
wings. In manner, she is silent and impartial. Her symbol is a silver
or grey sickle on a field of green.
