Deity: Pervortia
Like the old erow page on the D&D wiki there was also a related deity page for a goddess named Pervortia. Since we rescued the information about the erow from the wiki, we decided to do the same for the goddess as well. With the permission of the creator, of course. However they did want us to edit the original information to make her more appealing to more people since her original appearance catered to a relatively small group of players. With that in mind here's our revamped version of the sex goddess known as Pervortia!
Alignment(s): Neutral Good, True Neutral
Title(s): Goddess of Sex, Goddess of Love, Goddess of Pleasure, Goddess of Passion, The Ultimate Pervert, "Pervy"
Power Level: Greater

Areas of Interest: Love, Sex, Pleasure, Aphrosia

Favored Weapon: Longspear
*See the Book of Erotic Fantasy: Chapter 4, pages 104 - 105.
When Pervortia chooses to appear, she generally takes on a voluptuous humanoid shape standing about seven feet tall. Her hair is a firey red hair in a long and flowing ponytail with various jewelry embedded into it. Her skin has the appearance of gold, both in sheen and color but emanates a strong warmth that causes intense arousal. The image of her is very curvaceous with broad hips, vast breasts, a round and plush posterior, and a very toned and idealized physique overall.
Do:
Pervortia does not view debauchery as amoral but rather encourages the indulgence in that which makes one happy, so long as it does not harm others or oneself. For instance, her followers can have as much sex and get as drunk as they want as long as someone doesn't get hurt in the process
Purity is a moot-point with Pervortia and her clergy. It is dismissed as a carrot-on-a-stick with unrealistic expectations and definitions that cause for those who chase it to become heartbroken and sometimes non-believers as a result. Sex is not considered evil, but rape is.
Being a virgin is not considered to be nearly as important as other cultures stress it to be. Instead virginity is considered a mark of childhood. Something that is done away with once a person learns of sex and is deflowered. It is not seen as a loss of innocence, since sex is not considered evil to begin with. Loss of virginity via rape is not considered to be the victim's fault, but as a sad result of a crime perpetrated by the rapist. Any fear of diseases can be easily assuaged by a visit to a priest or priestess.
Temples:
Temples to Pervortia are usually kept very warm and humid and were adorned with all kinds of erotic paintings, statues, tapestries and more. They were used as meeting places for local communities and made their money from priests and priestesses offering their skills in coitus for a fee, which contributed to their great success.
Clerics:
Pervortia's clergy act as matchmakers, conduct weddings, teach the masses how to practice safe sex, teach adults about sexual techniques, and act as diplomats and moderators in disputes. Some of them are also been known to specialize as sexual healers, a specialty sect that Pervortia encouraged and actively recruited for. She does not have a favored weapon and looks down on violence, but begrudgingly accepts it as a necessity on rare occasion, encouraging her clerics to use restraint as much as possible but not dictating what weapons or armor they should use. That being said, the closest thing to a weapon that Pervortia has been known to carry was a whip made of divine metal and shining gemstones of unknown power. Most priests and priestesses are enchanted to be protected from the elements by Pervortia and walked around in the nude apart from magnificent jewelry and piercings they were endowed with.
Paladins:
Pervortian paladins are extremely rare, having only been called into service during times of need for Pervortia. They are usually called to defend temples, large families blessed by Pervortia, or are deployed in groups to spread love and sex to a community that she deemed to be in need of it. She also is known to have paladins act as guards to particularly devout communities. Paladins belong to various orders that were loyal to Pervortia, each with their own code of conduct and regulations that they are required to follow
Monks:
Monks that follow Pervortia are seekers of balance between the inner world and the outer world. They are masters of the art of sex and of combat, wishing to better understand love and war and how to live in a world where both are present. They tend to guard archives and caches belonging to Pervortia's clergy in remote locations. But various monasteries have broken from this norm and are known to be located in all sorts of locales as their individual focuses vary as well
Gender Selection:
Pervortia is known to give her followers transformations into whatever gender they so desire. Though it is her policy to send the person on a journey of self exploration beforehand to ensure that they know what they want. The ritual can be performed by any cleric or paladin.
Marriage:
Marriages are lavish celebrations of love that have a brief ceremony, followed by an orgy where the two families engage in new partners, to encourage the bond even more. The newly weds are quickly allowed to leave the ceremony to engage in the honeymoon and are usually gifted a lavish suite in the local temple to stay in for a time.
Funeral:
Funerals for communities that follow Pervortia start off with a day of mourning, with the actual cremation happening at midnight. The following day, the families and friends are encouraged to engage in a therapeutic orgy with the attending clergy to help ease the pain.
Resurrection:
Pervortia is not known to grant resurrections very freely, encouraging her followers to move on from death and seek out the beauty in renewal and in the present instead. But she has been known to resurrect those whom she truly believes still have worthwhile work to do. This is one of the few rituals of Pervortia that does not involve sex.
Day of Orgies:
On the 69th day of each year, the entire community is encouraged to engage in a massive orgy / festival, where virgins are expertly deflowered by the most talented members of the clergy available that the virgins desire to engage in coitus with. It is not compulsory to lose ones virginity to a member of the clergy, and in fact some people lose it only to ask for it to be restored by the clergy afterward, as a means of participating in the tradition but wanting to save oneself.
Day of Fetishes:
Every 34 days, the local clergy set up a festival of fetishes in the local town for the inhabitants to peruse. There various fetishes are displayed and explained in a manner similar to a modern trade-show by the clergy. Audience participation is encouraged.
