'''Kasigna''', also known as '''The Three in One''', is a [[Dead Gods|Dead Goddess]]. She is the Goddess of Death and the Afterlife.

==Appearance==
Kasigna's outward appearance differs from person to person; while [[Erin Solstice]] envisaged her with the form of a [[Humans|Human]], [[Fetohep]] saw her as a [[Drakes|Drake]], [[Dullahans|Dullahan]], and a [[String People|Stitch-Woman]].<ref>{{VERef|9.67 (Pt. 1)}}</ref> The only consistency is that she can shift between her aspects of a young woman, an older lady, and an elderly crone. At times, all three appear simultaneously. 

Kasigna sees herself with the appearance of her first worshippers from Vunn, as a "frog-like being, hunch-backed, eyes round and black."<ref>{{VERef|10.27 GMG}}</ref>

==Personality==
Her different aspects can represent her different moods, and display different personalities and mentalities.

The crone is vengeful and spiteful.

The mother is an imperious judge and arbiter, a cold decision-maker. Strict, yet also loving. Her wrath is impartial.

The maiden, her least used aspect, can come out when she feels amused or excited. She understands love and fear, and cares for her subjects. She also considers the possibility of defeat, and responds accordingly.

Kasigna is no charismatic or strategic leader. She refuses to compromise and has no mercy for those that oppose her or refuse to serve her.<ref name=":3" />

==Background==
Kasigna originated from a world called Theiygiles, a place with floating isles and deep seas. Her mother was also a Goddess of Death, and the very act of giving birth to Kasigna killed her by creating life. She was born simultaneously young and old, and her first worshippers were the primitive amphibian people of Vunn, whose beautiful and wise queens would eventually become eight [[Hag Queens of Aklat Vunn]]. She became part of the Pantheon of Orois.<ref>{{VERef|Goblin Days (Pt. 4) – Order, Oddity}}</ref> Mortals who braved the crushing depths could find her home. With her pantheon, she learned to eat the flesh of other gods, and make war so terrible as to make stones cry in lament. She drove her foes to despair, cursed mortals and deities alike, and crushed those who challenged her. The gods of distant realm saw her as barbaric, and she once maimed a Goddess of Beauty for slighting her.<ref name=":0" />

Eventually, her pantheon lost a war of gods. The victors stripped her world of its value, and then [[Seamwalkers]] came to destroy it. But she survived and refused to flee. She fought as her pantheon died, and consumed every mortal soul and the bodies of her fellow gods. She could not be defeated, as she always returned after being cast down. Then she hunted down and destroyed every one of her enemies. After an age of hunting and revenge, she rested and left the remains of her fallen world.

While she wandered, she was invited to a gathering of gods, to participate in a grand project spearheaded by [[Isthekenous]]. She was the last deity to arrive, and was challenged for her title by three other gods of death. She defeated them and made them her subordinates.<ref>{{VERef|10.25 MG}}</ref> It was on Innworld that she bore her own daughter, [[Cauwine]].<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref> She designed Kasignel, though argued against the creation of the other two afterlives, [[Hellste]] and [[Diotria]].<ref name=":4">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/26/9-67-pt-1/ Chapter 9.67 (Pt. 1)]</ref>

Kasigna survived the God War, but lost her power and worshippers, becoming a dead goddess.

=== Volume 10 ===
After being defeated by the actions of [[Halrac Everam|Halrac]], [[Khorpe]] and [[Drevish]] in destroying her [[Kasignel|afterlife]] and the connections she had to it, Kasigna is stabbed while trying to hold on to any energy by her daughter [[Cauwine]]. As the [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|Grand Design]] prepares to create a new afterlife to replace Kasignel, Kasigna is fading away into nothing, but the aspect of the Mother volunteers herself as sacrifice to keep her other aspects from fading away<ref>{{VERef|10.26 MM}}</ref>. Afterwards the Maiden and Crone no-longer know what the other is thinking.<ref>{{VERef|10.27 GMG}}</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==

=== Goddess of Death: ===
As a goddess, Kasigna's power derives from belief and worship. As the Goddess of Death and the afterlife, she exerts control over all ghosts and can command to bow to her. Kasigna is more powerful than [[Laedonius Deviy]] and [[Cauwine]] despite not having a connection/pact as she is literally in her element. She is able to gain power by consuming souls en masse.<ref name=":2">[[Interlude – Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1)|Interlude - Paradigm Shifts (Pt. 1)]]</ref> Having a realm under her authority eventually let her gather much more power, more than the other five gods combined.<ref name=":3" />

=== Influence on the Living Realm: ===
After regaining some power by consuming the souls of Kasignel, she's shown to be able to slightly influence low-leveled people in the living world to make their deaths likelier.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/10/17/9-61-g/ Chapter 9.61 G]</ref> She's also brought back the appearence of [[Wisps]] to Innworld.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/08/30/9-55-pt-1/ Chapter 9.55 (Pt. 1)]</ref>

=== Raise and Command Undead: ===
She can spontaneously create greater undead without using any corpses, such as creating 100000 [[Draugr|Draugrs]]. She can raise undead worldwide, Summon the ghosts of the deceased to fight for her even if they had opposed her, and summon the undead of species from different worlds from her memory.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /> She can easily raise gigantic bodies, and summon her old worshippers, the [[Hag Queens of Aklat Vunn]].<ref name=":3" />

=== Deathtouch and Death Bestowal: ===
She can bestow death to those in her vicinity, and can kill with a single touch. She can also deny someone from dying, or inflict a death curse to doom a target.<ref name=":5" />

=== Multiple Presences: ===
Kasigna can split off her Aspects, dividing herself into three.<ref name=":3" />

=== Time Stop: ===
By gathering her power during most of the Solstice, she can stop astrological time, extending the day.<ref name=":3" /> She can only stop all of time for a moment, with great difficulty as it is not her domain.<ref name=":5">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/26/9-67-pt-2/ Chapter 9.67 (Pt. 2)]</ref>

=== Summoning: ===
She could summon to her those with the power to command death and undead, like [Necromancers].<ref name=":3" />

=== Reality Warping: ===
She can warp reality with her words, similarly to using a Skill. For example, <Your Mortal Wounds Open> will re-inflict severe wounds suffered in the past on everyone within a thousand feet. She has also shown capable of closing a void with a gesture, freezing and erasing a thunderbolt, and dissipating a thundercloud.

===Weaknesses===
===="Dead State" from Lack of Worship====
While Kasigna is able to gain power from people remembering the concept of gods, she is currently in a weakened state due to everyone in the world believing that "the gods are dead." As such, she is trapped in the land of the dead, unable to travel to the living world except during auspicious events such as solstices or a double full moon.
====Umbrella made from the Sun's Light====
While in the land of the dead, she is vulnerable to the sunlight emitting from the memory of the umbrella Tamaroth offered Erin during the first winter solstice.
====King Arthur's Sword====
The dead gods fear King Arthur's sword, suggesting it can hurt and damage them.<ref name=":1">[[Chapter 8.11 E]]</ref>
====Weapons of Faith====
She can also be hurt by weapons which hold amongst people, such as Avel's sacred bow, though not permanently.<ref>[[Chapter 8.32]]</ref>
==Trivia==

*Her name was first revealed in [[Chapter 8.11 E]].
*She is the oldest living thing in [[Innworld]], 
*As proven by [[Erin Solstice|Erin]], Kasigna is terrible at chess.<ref name=":1" />

==Quotes==

* [https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/30/interlude-4/ To] [[Ryoka Griffin|Ryoka]]:
** “That is a long story. We can tell it, but perhaps…young woman, would you offer me your hand? I wish to sit next to you and it is cold.”
** “What is that you have with you, child? [[Ivolethe|It]] is a thing of ice and dreams. Not good company for the fire.”
** “I offer again. Hold my hand, child. Be free of your worries with me.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/12/29/8-61/ To] [[Cauwine]]) “Cauwine. You pale. Does that Archer-King with a bow pierce ''your'' flesh?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “This is not over, girl. Even if you return home—it will never be the same. You may forget us, but we will never forget ''you.'' We will hunt you down and make the living world a reflection of your despair. Our time has come. ”
