Laivatiniel (The Chains and the Cradle)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 302The Chains and the Cradle is mother to all petitioners who cannot seem to let their beloved offspring go, whether they are born from their own wombs, adopted children, or students under their care. She corrupts the complicated emotions that come with watching someone one cares about grow strike out on their own, and revels in the often-unspoken fear of being left behind by those who once looked to us for guidance. Laivatiniel insists that control is the ultimate form of love and devotion, which often drives her followers to commit selfish acts against those whom they are supposed to protect. After all, what good is a baby bird that flies too far from their nest?
Laivatiniel appears as a smiling elderly woman with a dozen scorched and skeletal arms. When she speaks to a petitioner, her voice and mannerisms often resemble those of the petitioner’s favored parental figure.
