The Crone is typically depicted as a rotting corpse wearing a thin, bejeweled robe. She is patron of the undead and, because of this, generally hated in most lands though barely accepted because of her interest in necromancy in general. She encourages her followers to hoard information, the ultimate goal of that quest to defeat the aims of Cthos, god of the underworld, and avoid his judgment after death. Most of her living worshipers are wizards whose ultimate goal is to cheat death by becoming liches, the most prized of her faithful. Her priesthood tends to be small and secretive in most regions and it is generally assumed that she is accepted fully only in Thet by its undead tyrant. Because Tethys is the Duchess of Mystery of Necromancy, most temples of Abaris contain at least a shrine to the Crone and protect the identity of her worshippers.
