"And finally she came to see, as her sister had before her, that the only force which might check their frenzied course was love such as Menkharra bore for her. Thus came to her both her salvation and her greater doom."

The Goddess of Vengeance. Alas is Vellamni's sister and was once the lover of Menkharra.

When Menkharra was murdered by the Amma Alas went insane and killed all of the Amma using the Banesword. Since then the Banesword has been considered sacred to her and is used as her symbol.

The tears that followed her rage are said to have formed the rivers and oceans of the world and together with Menkharra's blood brought forth the chaotic life that eventually gave rise to Humanity.

Alas is a powerful but distant God; there are many cults dedicated to her throughout Reshomme but she seems to take little interest in their activities - beyond rewarding acts of vengeance with Power. The Angel of Alas seems to have represented the interests of her mistress in her absence, until her recent demise at the hands of Starenkeen. Her followers obey the Code of Alas.

Her home Plane is the Kerai Valley, one of the Heavens.
