Eiseth
The Erinyes Queen, Hell's Valkyrie, She Who Defies Limitation
Pantheon
One of the infamous Queens of the Night, Eiseth laughs at any devil who claims she has ascended as far as a female devil can in Hell's hierarchy. She bears an extreme hatred of the celestial realms and often leads raiding parties into Elysium, Nirvana, and even Heaven itself. Her religious symbol is a dark-winged snake, or a horned longbow.

Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her. She seeks to achieve her own ends—but through order, not chaos. Even when boiling with anger, she is more likely to carefully plot vengeance than risk her own death through hasty actions. Sometimes that revenge will take years to happen, and that is acceptable.
A lawful evil character at the extreme end of the spectrum is zealous in her aims and will make any sacrifice to achieve them. Her twisted philosophy can make her paranoid of her closest followers, even family and friends. She stops at nothing to gain control, for only through control can she have peace. Yet even the most powerful and ordered society has its enemies, and to a lawful evil character only the destruction of those enemies can bring fulfillment.

Lawful NeutralA lawful neutral character admires order and tradition, or seeks to live by a code. He might fear chaos and disorder, and perhaps have good reason to do so from past experience. A lawful neutral person is not as concerned about who rules him so much as how secure he and his compatriots are, and finds great solace in the normality of society. Such a character may admire the strongest of leaders and punishments if they keep order, and he may support wars against other nations even if his own country is a brutal invader—his only concern is the rightness of the military action., LE
A lawful neutral character who follows his own code never breaks it willingly, and may become a martyr to defend it.Lawful EvilA lawful evil character goes about her business motivated by her own interests, but knows that ultimately order protects her.

Order is everything, at any cost.Neutral EvilMotivated by his own needs and wants, a neutral evil character is without conscience, acting only for self-gratification. He might surround himself with the trappings of cults and evil, but does so purely because it brings him closer to sin and wickedness. While a lawful evil person is inclined to bargain and a chaotic evil one to lash out, a neutral evil person is inclined only to look out for himself. In many ways, he epitomizes evil, since he has no clear loyalty to anything except absolute self-interest.
An extremist neutral evil character tends to be a loner, since he has either betrayed or slain those who came close to knowing him. - Realms

Dark Wings of Vengeance (Sp)
Erinyes Legion (Su)
Once per day as a standard action, you can call down a shower of erinyes’ flaming arrows in a 40-foot-radius area centered anywhere within 400 feet of your position. Each creature in the area takes 3d6 points of fire damage and 3d6 points of evil-aligned damage and is then staggered for 1d4 rounds. A creature that succeeds at a Reflex saving throw (DC = 10 + half your Hit Dice + your Charisma modifier) takes half damage and negates the staggered condition.
Fallen Angel’s Return (Sp)
The might and fury of a vengeful Eiseth standing against her foes is a terrible sight to behold. Once per day, you can create an overwhelming image of Hell’s Valkyrie storming the gates of Heaven to annex her long-deserved dark queendom. This ability functions as per weird.

603 Years of Wrath (Sp)
Descent of Hell’s Valkyrie (Sp)
When Eiseth beats her mighty wings in unholy wrath, all take notice—and you know how to harness this power to aid you in battle. Once per day, you can cast scouring winds as a spell-like ability. Instead of sand, the storm conjures clouds of fiery ash, and it deals fire damage instead of piercing damage.
The Furies Unleashed (Sp)
Once per day, you can summon five erinyes to your side to fight on your behalf. This functions as summon monster IX. When an erinyes is defeated or the effect’s duration has expired, a cloak of the blackest night heralds the erinyes’s return to Dis, creating a 10-foot-radius sphere of darkness (as per deeper darkness) for 1 round, centered on the erinyes’s last position.

Dark Battle Rising (Sp)
Swords of the Ash Wings (Su)
Three times per day when you successfully strike an enemy, you can infuse your blow with the weight of Eiseth’s dark fury as a swift action. When you do, your attack deals an additional 4d6 points of fire damage and 4d6 points of slashing damage as flaming swords from the depths of Hell bite into your opponent’s body. This damage is considered evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. This additional damage is never doubled upon a critical hit.
The Dark Queen Marches (Sp)
When she focuses her terrible wrath on a single goal, the Erinyes Queen is a force of unbelievable power. You have studied Eiseth’s tactics carefully and can imitate them to advance your goddess’s dark glory. Once per day, you can cast ride the lightning as a spell-like ability. Instead of a lightning bolt, though, you transform into a streak of lava, so this ability deals fire damage instead of electricity damage.
