Eritrice is a powerful agathion empyreal lord. Eritrice is said to be a single truth that escaped from the swamps of lies that make up Stygia, the fifth layer of Hell. Geryon, the master of Stygia, has opposed Eritrice and her followers in the past. As a divine patron of debate, Eritrice prefers people to test their ideas in debate rather than receive wisdom from on high. Eritrice maintains a pavilion on the Windswept Lea for her followers.
