Editing Desna (section)

===More than She Seems?===
Desna is a bizarre case among the ''Pathfinder'' deities for multiple reasons. 
* She travels Dark Space between the stars without fear of the [[Cthulhu Mythos|Dark Tapestry]], which [[Zon-Kuthon|typically]] leads to horrific insanity-filled consequences. 
* She battles Dark Tapestry threats without losing her sanity at all, and is one of the only deities that explicitly hunts down [[Aberrations]] and other spawn of the Outer Gods. 
* While Desna has a home in [[Elysium (Pathfinder)|Elysium]], she does not live in the [[Great Beyond]] with the other gods, she lives on Golarion's version of the North Star. Not orbiting the star, ''on the star.'' 
* She is described as one of the oldest and most powerful deities around, throwing her strength around with an impunity that even other chaotic deities couldn't get away with. 
* Older lore describes that her original form was that of a giant alien being of eldritch starlight resembling a moth. 
* A fragment of her [[What|tore itself off and became a sentient demigoddess]] called the Black Butterfly, which became the Ephemeral Lord of quiet introspection, long journeys, and killing aberrations. 

With these things in mind, a popular fan theory is that Desna is connected to- or perhaps even IS, an Outer God. Naturally, an Outer God that learned compassion and love is considered [[Extra Heresy|EXTRA HERESY]] among others. Game Designer James Jacobs is on record saying that he does not like this theory, but that fans are free to use the gods in whatever way they wish at their individual tables.
