Description The eater and creator of your fears and nightmares.  The Blackthorn Stag has come to harvest evil souls and punish them by devouring the awful spirits.  This gives her power like no other to protect this land and the innocent that lies within.  Solitary. Ancient. She sleeps for now...mostly... 

Remember why humans were once scared of the dark...

The being herself is not recorded in history.  However, the influences in the Irish pantheon were the Morrighan and Cernunnos.  This would be the love-child of those two.  I hope that makes sense!  The Blackthorn is not a goddess of death, but of punishment AND death.  She is also loosely based off of a Púca, as the "king (yes king) of the pucas".
