Oh yes, in case you're not familar with them, the three Furies were goodesses of
vengeance, i.e. avenging spirits. Not being one should upset!

I am familiar with them, and tho it's not an exact match, the speakers of
Silindion have a similar group of goddesses. These goddesses are the
incarnations of the moon: Alárïe

Nóna "blooming" (waxing moon)
Níva "beauty"  (full moon)
Sámma "death"  (waning and new moon)

They function both in good and bad (not evil, that's reserved for the truly bad
gods). Well, that's my tidbit of conculture for the day.
