Kythira is the seductress of all races. She has been known to assume any form in order to corrupt men. She is the destroyer of true love. Great emnity exists between Agethos and Kythira. These two religions are constantly at war. Kythira appears on Khoras often always varying her appearance, but always beautiful. She is similar to Karenia in her use of sex as a weapon. But where Karenia kills, Kythira is only interested in breaking up couples and stirring up trouble.
During her mortal life, Kythira had a long list of lovers and admirers. Never content, she usually left them. Oft times, she would seduce a married man simply to stir up trouble. She managed to seduce a kingdom out from under a king. However, she was later foiled and executed. This act martyred her and many women considered her a role model.
Only women worship Kythira. Kythira simply does not allow male worshipers and ignores the prayers offered by a man. This cult trains its disciples to augment their own natural beauty and to use that beauty toward selfish goals. This cult opposes Karenia’s lethal tactics and is constantly at war with Agethos.
