Cult of Shihe
Shihe's branch of the Cult of Bloody Murder deals with matters relating to Mirseleth's many thousands of slaves, with her priests often also being slavemasters in charge of torturing the more rebellious among their 'cattle'. The druidic order known as the Masters of the Black Wood dedicate themselves to Shihe by enslaving wildlife and sentient plant-like beings like treants into servitude to the dark elves.

The wood elves continue worshipping Shihe's original incarnation, but the goddess no longer pays them any heed.
