Ekirei

Ekirei (疫癘, Ekirei) is a Tenchū currently residing in the heavens. As with her Shito siblings, she was created at a time when her mother was angry with the world, falling prey to her baser inclinations. Warmongering lust and imperial ambition rose to the surface before having a mold and life breathed into them. Christened with the name Ekirei, she is feared and respected as the God of Famine, Pestilence, and Punishment. Sighting her in the deep of night is taken as a bad omen, a prophecy of destruction, known in folklore as the Midnight Rider (夜中騎手, Yonaka Kishu). Those places she appears in succumb to horrid ends, granted slow torturous deaths. Many pray that Ekirei visits their enemies while avoiding the places the worshippers call home.
