Published Canon:
Eteris is a vile power who thrives on suffering and anguish. Poison, disease, and pestilence are her weapons, and hers is a realm of pain and torment. Parasites, rodents, vermin, and carrion feeders all heed her call, and spread her plagues throughout the world.
Eteris is the daughter of Gadaru and Isbri. The Horrid One inherited her father's chaotic outlook, but his mischievousness was twisted by her mother's evil into a grotesque love of the horrible and frightening. Eterisremains close to her mother and is favored by Sethanit, who sees her as an invaluable ally against the forces of good.
Eteris usually appears as a leprous old woman, hairless and toothless, wrapped in filthy, tattered robes of purple and gray. Common titles for Eteris are the Horrid One, Summoner of Swarms, and Lady of Pestilence.
The Horrid One's clergy are vile in their own right. They are selfish and self-centered with no regard for others. They adorn their faces with painted patterns of gray and purple and wear them openly in evil lands. In strong acts of faith, some clergy opt for permanent tattoos in lieu of temporary paints.
Eteris' temples are frequently located underground, and are openly advertised in evil lands. In good lands, her temples are hidden in large cities. These are usually accessed through sewer systems and are guarded by mazes of deadly traps.
