Mathaira

''This is the evil version of Mathaira found in Verail campaigns set before 993 ADX. For the version after she was cleansed in 993 ADX, see Mathaira (Cleansed). For the Mirror-Verail version of Mathaira, see Mathaira (Mirror).''

Mathaira's worship is most prevelant in Ir. The Yuan-Ti are especially devoted to her, and are said to be her creations in the same way the Hengeyokai were created by Kelviena. Many other reptillian races have a significant Mathairite following among their ranks.

Many of the Drow are also loyal to Mathaira, having been converted after forming an alliance with the Yuan-Ti. Over time, the drow managed to become the most well-known Mathairites, perhaps owing to the fact that they tend to be more aggressive towards the surface world, while the Yuan-Ti usually remain in Ir.

While small, and generally disliked due to her nature, small sects devoted to Mathaira, often treated as cults, are found on the surface as well. Most of these are led by creatures called Vipents, members of mortal races favored by Mathaira and transformed into dangerous shapeshifting creatures made up of a thick venomous substance.

Mathaira encourages her followers to do whatever most benefits themselves. She is the sister of Kelviena and frequently commands her worshipers to hunt down Kelvienites, especially the Nylans.

Avatars
Two avatars of Mathaira have been recorded in history. Her first appearance was to fight alongside the Yuan-Ti against the Illithids, ended a nearly two-hundred year long feud between the two races and forcing the Illithids to retreat.

Her second appearance was at the behest of a Vipent priestess, Shyarsyn Jrail'Xikkar, where she fought against The Keepers of the Radiant Flame and in Agarus. This avatar provided a link through which Aylena, after being resurrected during the battle, by the Keepers, was able to purge the Schism influence from her.
