Hynethe

Hynethe was the sister-queen of Theophylactus the Tyrant, the final king of Sassyar of the Hynerian dynasty. In the Hynethist faith, she is worshipped as a goddess.

Theology
In ancient Sassyari society, it had been commonplace for kings to marry their sisters and be treated as gods in their own right. However, Hynethe proved her humanity by giving birth to a bastard, Alexander. As a punishment, Theophylactus had Hynethe publicly disgraced in the streets of Lyzentos before beheading her and exiling Alexander to the Kingdom of Hetzburg. Alexander, trained by the House of Dornay in the art of war, returned to Sassyar fifteen years later, slew Theophylactus, and ended the practice of polytheism.

Originally, Hynethe was seen as a martyr, but this extended to godliness upon the formation of the Order of Hynethe: a militant inquisition formed in Sassyar that forcefully converted Deronists in the Brythonian region to theism.

Values
Hynethe represents the values of diligence, justice, pride, and resilience. In literature, her beauty is emphasised; however, it is unknown how she actually appeared.
