==History==
In a time forgotten and unknown by most, Thessala sacrificed herself and transformed herself into a vampyress, not for the sake of immortality, but for the good of the rest of the islands. Unfortunately, as a creature of the former god Helthor (or creature of undeath), her sacrifice is not always understood. It was a price she had to pay, and live with it eternally... or so she thought. She sought a "cure" to undeath, and in the end she did... but not in the way she expected to.

==Story==
When [[Valshar]] inadvertently struck Helthor out of the heavens, the Sphere of death and [[Helthor]] crashed upon the mortal planes. The Sphere of Death took on the physical form of a crystal skull which came into Thessala's possession for a time.

When the mortal form of [[Helthor]] sought to elevate himself, he required the Death of an unborn child in an unholy ritual. The motives of the mortals bearing witness in the ritual were mixed. Some sought to stop [[Helthor]] from returning as a god. Others, want to prevent the cruel sacrifice of an unborn child. And yet, there were some, with even darker plans that were in service for the goddess [[Valshar]].

Whatever the motives were, the ritual would be reversed and destroyed if an Undead were "sacrificed" in the ritual instead of an unborn child - and Thessala was slained by the adventurers bearing witness to the ritual.

It would be unknown if it was a miscalculation on the part of [[Valshar]], or perhaps it was the compassion of some other god that stepped in, or just sheer fortune that the Sphere of Death required a host to return to, or even [[Helthor]]'s last dying strength to deny [[Valshar]] the last vestiges of his power, [[Thessala]]'s "death" elevated her to the goddess of death upon the demise of [[Helthor]], freeing her from the curse of undeath.

==Church==
The church of [[Thessala]] is neutral to almost all political matters. They are care-takers of graveyards, giving funerals for the homeless, hunters of undead, and often philosophers/monks meditating the meaning of life & death. While the church preach that death should not be feared as it is a natural process that happens to all mortals, they hold that one should not seek death senselessly.

Thessela ascended to the rank of the Goddess of Death as if by accident, and now watches over those who pass on.
