Eorgina was an Arkati and member of the Pantheon of Lornon. She was also known as the "Queen of Darkness."

Eorgina was the goddess of tyranny, domination, and darkness. She had once hoped to wed Koar and join him as the queen of the Arkati, but her hope was dashed when Koar took Lumnis as his consort. In part, this helped to drive her to be among the Lornon Arkati. She developed a friendship with Luukos, as one result. Her symbol was red, stylized flames on a field of gray.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Cleric Guilds

Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a state of Eorgina. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.

Looking back at you with cold, regal disinterest is the face of a woman of singular beauty. She is clad in a gown of sumptuous fashion and richly bedecked in jewelry. Her posture suggests she is accustomed to...and expects...instant obedience.

You reach out and touch the statue of Eorgina.

A chill runs down your spine, as if you had briefly caught Eorgina's dread attentions.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Lornon is a table inset with fist-sized seals depicting all of the Lornon arkati, including one for Eorgina. The other disks encircle Eorgina's, which is larger. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

Eight round, fist-sized seals, bearing the symbols of Andelas, Fash'lo'nae, Ivas, Luukos, Marlu, Mularos, Sheru, and V'tull, encircle a much larger seal adorned with the symbol of Eorgina. Each emblem is fashioned from a disk of pure gold and is set into the table so as to be flush with its surface.

Stylized red flames on a field of gray are painted on the golden seal of Eorgina.

Eorgina's Temple, Solhaven

The Adytum in Eorgina's Temple in Solhaven is a holy shrine, but the area is not sanctified.

Behind The Scenes

The I.C.E. Age form of Eorgina, who was called Orgiana, was a malevolent fire goddess with grey steel skin. Orgiana was not considered the Queen of the Dark Gods in Shadow World history. In fact, she was not even on Charon at all, having been banished to the Black Hel. Her cults often involved a hatred of men. Eorgina was originally described in much the same way, with the queen aspects added on resembling Kadaena. The original parts that strongly resembled Orgiana were later removed, her holy symbol being the only obvious connection to her original form.
