Come: beautiful - -

This goddess appears in the form of a beautiful woman,
and will on rare occasions pick exceptionally brave warriors in battle and {aid} them.
This aid takes the form of that warrior never being hit,
always making his or her save,
and never missing an attempted hit.
This lasts for the duration of the melee.

At will,
the goddess can shape change, <e?> <x>
animate statues of herself in her temples,
and can summon from the dead any being she has killed in a past battle to aid any given side (only on a one time basis per being).

She uses a double bladed brass axe that has the following abilities:
it strikes for 25 points of damage per hit,
causes any armor it strikes to turn to dust (no save),
and the user is never surprised.
Her breast plates negate any damage caused by heat,
cold,
fang,
|| claw to her body.

The goddess is a fickle being and requires the sacrificing of the best in magickal or high quality weapons on her altars.

In battle,
she drives a chariot pulled by seven lions to which she has given the gift of flight (MV 30").
They are otherwise normal beasts which are under her complete control.

The Realm of Inanna (Hell.4:Phlegethos)

Hecate of the Greeks and Inanna of the Sumerians have adjacent
realms in Phlegethos, the fourth Hell, with suitable conduits
to reach those worlds where they are venerated. Hecate tends to
be more lawful than evil, sending her quota of devils out in an
organized fashion to punish particular misdeeds. Inanna is the
reverse, more evil than lawful. She delights in the fickcle nature
that sending too many (or not enough) evil servants into battle
may bring. The two goddesses' relationships with Belial are
unknown, though the arch-devil has been known to call on both
their courts. Both are indifferent to their organized neighbors
unless they are dragged into the fray--something that Asmodeus
would rather cut off a limb than see happen. (Asmodeus dreads
the thought of the Greek && Sumerian pantheons descending
on his plane and upsetting his delicate balance of power.) The
other devils tend to keep arrangements with these Powers very
quiet lest they incur Asmodeus's wrath.
