Sin is a goddess of power-seekers. She appears as a beautiful, pale woman with long black hair, often wearing silken gown of the deepest black, like a starless night.

Dogma
Sin represents an insidious type of evil. The type that is well aware of the "good" people in the world that would seek to stop her. Therefore, her clerics and followers work within the boundaries of the law, though interpreting it in their favor. They are often philanthropists and generally work to better the society that they live in, however only in ways that elevate themselves. Many people believe that Sin's followers are hedonists and associate them with sex and pleasure, and it is true that many of them fill the roles of prostitutes, brothel masters and mistresses and courtesans. However, to them, sex is but a means to an end, used as a weapon or a tool for power.

Temples
Many temples of Sin are brothels, however the larger cathedrals located outside of the bounds of cities are generally grand affairs made of obsidian or black marble, where worship of the night and alliances with devils are made.

Relations
Sin's portfolio often puts her at odds with other gods of darkness, such as Masau U and Lolth. And her position concerning sex earns her and her followers the ire of any deity with Love in their portfolio.
