WILLINGWHIP OF LOVIATAR: Loviatar, the Maiden of Pain, is the goddess of hurt and agony, and the patroness of torturers. She makes her home in the lower planes of Gehenna. Her symbol is a nine-stranded whip, with barbs at the tip of each strand.

Loviatar teaches that the world is full of pain and torment, and the best that one can do is to suffer those blows that cannot be avoided, and to deal as much pain back to those who offend. Opponents tend to avoid the clergy of Loviatar, since murder is the least that they will do in revenge against insults to their goddess.

Loviatar and her priests particularly despise the church of Ilmater, and Painbearers are actively hunted and killed when possible. The root of this hatred is simply that Painbearers of Ilmater are stupidly cheerful during pain, torment, and torture; these sufferings seem to make them more fervent about their deity.
