10 Invasion of the Abyss See also: AolarĪ vengeful Desna killed the demon lord Aolar, known as the Lady of the Hunt, and destroyed her Abyssal fortress in 4155 AR 11 after the Lady of the Hunt took control of the body of a recently deceased Desnan priestess to wreak death on the priestess' loved ones.

She is said to accidentally have freed Ghlaunder, the mosquito god of infection and parasites, from his cocoon on the Ethereal Plane. Perhaps by chance, Desna has been involved in the creation or freeing of a number of minor deities. 2 5 Battle against Rovagugĭuring the Age of Creation, Desna was among the original gods who battled the Rough Beast who sought to destroy Golarion, and were eventually able to contain him in the Dead Vault. As he died, he gifted Desna with the domain of travel she has traveled the planes and worlds since, opposing both oppression and Lamashtu wherever she encounters them, and spreading her word while making an effort to experience new wonders when she can. Lamashtu laid a trap for Curchanus and stripped him of his beast domain, ripping it from his godly essence. In her earliest days, the god Curchanus, an enemy of the goddess Lamashtu, was her mentor. According to the Windsong Testaments, she was one of the first eight deities of this incarnation of reality.
