About Naamah

Naamah was one of Blessed Elua's companions.  Her domain is that of sexuality.  Naamah's province in Terre d'Ange is Namarre.  Priest and Priestesses of Naamah wear scarlet robes. 

To enter her order, after training that is very similar to those of the Court of Night-Blooming Flowers, an acolyte must complete a year of Service.  During this time they wander Terre d'Ange and are forbidden to refuse anyone who seeks them out of true longing.  This is to help them better understand the sacrifice of the goddess sleeping with mortals.  In return, Naamah blesses them with desire for each patron.  After this year of service they are free to choose patrons and lovers as they wish.

Servants of Naamah refers to those who engage in prostitution, which is a holy act in Terre d'Ange.  They bear marques (tattoos) on their backs as a sign of their trade.  The most elite of these are the adepts of the Court of Night-Blooming Flowers, also known as the Night Court.  It is blasphemous for a Servant of Naamah to have an assignation with anyone she does not desire, nor to be forced to take assignations.  For this reason, some Servants of Naamah will complete their marques in other ways (such as clothing design, etc.) an some will simply remain as teachers.
