Safaya is the goddess of innocence, clarity, and the incorruptible spirit. She is depicted always as a young maiden in flowing white, her garments unstained even when she walks through dust, blood, or shadow. Where she steps, water springs clear and flowers bloom, for she is the embodiment of untouched purity.
Unlike many gods, Safaya carries no weapon. Her power lies not in force, but in her very presence, which drives back corruption, dissolves deceit, and lays bare the truth of hearts. To the righteous, she appears as comfort and healing; to the guilty, she is terror itself, for none can hide their sins beneath her gaze.
Myth tells that she is sister to both light and darkness, bound to neither but shining beyond them. She once descended into the depths of the underworld to reclaim a mortal boy whose innocence had been stolen by cruel fate. Clothed in her white mantle, she walked unafraid through legions of shadow and lifted the boy by the hand, restoring him to the world above. For this, she is often invoked by mothers and healers, who pray to her for the protection of children and the preservation of the uncorrupted.
Her followers wear white veils or sashes and bring offerings of milk, lilies, and silver to her shrines. Her temples are simple, unadorned halls of pale stone, where silence and honesty are kept above all else.
She is remembered in song as the Bright Maid, the Untouched, and the Veil of Mercy. To see her in a dream is said to foretell cleansing, but also judgment, for though Safaya is gentle, she is unyielding to those who betray innocence.
