Goodlady Incitatio

Her domains include swiftness, incitement, and flight. She was primarily a Daylight designation in the past, but following the Nightshade Murders, she was reassigned due to some of the perpetrators being hanged calling her to spirit their souls away from the earth mercifully, followed by a flock of white doves appearing in front of the gathered crowd and evading capture after the criminals were killed. She was also a favourite of the Birdcatchers, and many of her devotees stopped practicing openly during their rule, for fear of being caught and tried for treason.   

She often visits her devotees in dreams, appearing as a small, pure white dove, perched on a high ledge and mournfully staring down at the dreamer. They report being paralyzed with fear, before the knowledge they’ve been seeking hits them like a thunderclap, and they wake up out of breath and sweating. Other times, she is a coltish young woman in a clearing with an albino stag: radiating the sense that the two entities are one and the same. Dreamers awake with a down feather tucked underneath their pillowcase as a gift after these nightly visions. These are often sold to travellers as good luck tokens.

Devotees will have a small length of white fabric with various feathers sewn into its surface, dotted with small buttons, beads, scraps of decorative paper, pearls, and cored out rocks. The length is fastened over the eyes as a makeshift blindfold when they wish to speak directly to the Goodlady.
