                      Vainglory.
 
These are the Seven Sins cultivated by the Dark Queen Nasemna.
 
Nasemna's message to those who would follow Her is clear: your vices are not
to be feared. Embrace them. Cultivate them. Use them to your benefit. There
are no limits to what you can achieve when you shake off the restrictions of
the world.
 
Turn the father against his son, the wife against her husband. Encourage the
dissolution of clans, the severing of oaths. There you will find the favor
of the Malevolent Empress. There you will find the touch of Sin.
 
If you are interested in the exploitation of vice, write to "Followers of
Nasemna", and you will be contacted to see what you can bring to Her faith.

===== Background =====

Legend goes that in ancient times, a long and formidible battle raged across
the heavens. Immortals commanded large armies of angels and demons, shaking
the heavens and the earth with the might of their war. Among that angelic
host was Nasemna. Tasked with healing the injured, she worked dutifully
across the battlefields. One day, she came across an injured angel whose
wounds had been made with a curious jeweled dagger. Despite her best efforts,
the wounded angel died from his injuries. Nasemna took the dagger home to
study it further.

Others of Nasemna's legion noticed the changes slowly. Possessed of an
unreasonable desire to understand the dagger, Nasemna's attitude shifted. She
became convinced that within its construction lie the answers to winning the
war and saving her friends. She started sleeping with it under her pillow to
keep it close. As she slept, it whispered to her promises of great knowledge
and deeper understanding.

This continued for awhile until one fateful morning. After several nights of
fitful sleep, the crazed angel awoke to find two small horns atop her head.
Her pale skin had turned an ashen grey. She closed her hand around the hilt
of the dagger, and a voice whispered to her mind:

"Deny your vices no longer. Within them is the power you seek."

Nasemna understood, finally. The answer she sought was wrapped up in the
vices she had so carefully avoided. A wicked smile curved Her lips. As She
accepted this understanding as truth, Divinity coursed through Her veins. She
became the immortal embodiment of Sin, encouraging others to do as She has
done and cast off the fetters that would hold them back.

===== Personality =====

Nasemna derives extreme pleasure from toying with mortals. Once among the
angelic host, She has come to understand that the Light is weak, and treats
it with extreme disdain.

As the immortal embodiment of Sin, She is used to getting what She wants. She
gives Her following a fair amount of free will, but demands action from Her
faithful to fully embrace and develop Her Seven Sins in the world.

She will often come across as calm, but make no mistake. This is the Dark
Queen, the Malevolent Empress. Do not cross Her, for Her wrath will be swift.
