Editing Nusemnee (section)

==History==
Nusemnee was born a demigod and a [[half-fiend]], the spawn of the malevolent deity [[Zehir]] and some unnamed, but powerful, she-[[devil]]. Appearing as a lean woman with scales, venom-dripping fangs, horns and burning eyes, she was brainwashed by her father and used as a living weapon. For an age, she was his deadliest assassin, responsible for cutting down all manner of heroes and champions at the behest of her dark progenitor.

Until the day came that she was sent to assassinate a particularly saintly high priest of [[Pelor]]. Despite her skills, his guardians were formidable, and she failed in her attempts to reach him. Enraged by this, her father contemptuously abandoned her; in this moment of emotional crises, feeling her beloved father's scorn and abandonment, she was easy prey for the holy blade of a [[paladin]] and thus was mortally wounded.

Expecting only the cold embrace of death, to her astonishment, the high priest himself stepped in, ordered his guards back, and healed her with his divine powers. When she asked why, he simply told her that it was the right thing to do.

Understandably confused, but intrigued, she vowed to make amends by protecting the high priest until she could save his life in turn. As she followed him on his quest, she began to truly question the cause of evil, and ultimately sincerely redeemed herself. To the extent that, when she perished at the end of his quest, her divine blood kicked in and, with perhaps some support from Pelor, she rose again as a goddess in her own right.

Now elevated to the ranks of the divine, Nusemnee swore both to oppose her father and to reach out to those who, like herself, had fallen into darkness, offering them the hope of coming to the light. Although not explicitly stated in her article, this gives the obvious inferral that she reached out to members of normally "dark" races, like [[orc]]s, [[drow]], [[tiefling]]s and [[gnolls]], who sought to turn their backs on the evil that was normal for their culture.

Unfortunately, this outraged [[Zehir]], who ultimately managed to murder his daughter with the aid of a poison concocted from his own blood. Now her petrified corpse floats in the [[Astral Sea]], guarded by [[devil]]s and [[serpentfolk|yuan-ti]] abominations, who seek to stymie anyone who might seek to revive her - or to retrieve the toxic blood that still fills her veins and use it to their own ends. Such venomous ichor would slay even the mightiest god, and Zehir has no intention of being on the receiving end of ''that'' little irony.
