Besmara

Besmara is the patron goddess of illusion magic, tricksters, and those who keep secrets. She is also known as the "Seventh Veil", a name taken from the clothing she is most often depicted wearing. Her holy symbol is a circle made of six dull-colored veils tied end-to-end.

Appearance
Besmara's true form is disguised behind her seven veils, each of which is tied to a race: (human, elf, halfling, gnome, aranea, and naga). Her true form is said to be that of a member of a seventh, unknown race, but she always appears as female. She can appear as any of these races while wearing the appropriate veil.

Dogma
Besmara's ultimate goals are only known to the goddess. This concealment might be a reason why her faith has not grown more.

Providence
The goddess communicates with her faithful through mirrors, reflections in water, and sometimes even through their own shadows.

Realm
The goddess makes her home in the most unlikely of places: a Maelstrom in the Ethereal Plane of. Besmara's Realm is extremely difficult to find, appearing in no fixed place, yet can always be recognized by its abundance of mirrored surfaces. Besmara protects her realm in this way from the natives, who bear her much ill will. The exact origin behind this conflict is not known, although there are many speculations, including that Besmara once stole something from them.

Church of Besmara
The worship of Besmara is popular in the countries of Nex, Irrisen, and in the cities of Katapesh, while it is strictly prohibited in Nidal, due to a ban by the country's clerics of Zon-Kuthon. She is also widely worshiped among the illusionists and gnomes of Golarion, who appreciate her devotion to their favorite school of magic.

Worshippers of Besmara steal coinage or alcoholic drink by force or trickery to show obedience to her. Then, while recounting their latest or most impressive act of piracy and blessing Besmara’s name for all to hear, offer their stolen item to her by throwing it into water at least 4 feet deep. Alternatively, one can recount their most impressive or recent act of piracy to someone unaware of it, although they are free to hide the fact that the act was yours.
