Nyx

Nyx is a child of the Sun, born when he shone his light upon the watery moon of Eshid. Nyx emerged from the waters and descended to Vala to punish Veres for tormenting her mother. Instead, Nyx fell in love with the Green God and produced many children with him. Nyx went to great lengths to protect Vala, safeguarding it against the ravenous Walking Bones, the rapacious Scions, and the interloping giants. She made peace with the giants and in return for allowing them to share Vala with the Old Ones, she bade them create offspring for her own children. Nyx herself had the hesha made in her image, and she lavished much affection on the scaled folk. But when the dwarves and maedi conspired to split Altea between their empires, Nyx was consumed by anger. She watched as her hesha were slaughtered and became a gateway for the Beast. She transformed into a being of wrath and rage, visiting great destruction on Altea. The combined forces of the dwarves and elves defeated Nyx and the ravan who rallied to her, but Nyx was only banished to the Void, not destroyed. She joined with Beraz, becoming the first head to spring from the chaos serpent's infinite, coiling body. Nyx longs to return to Vala and consume it, tearing it apart and taking her hesha to her once more. She mourns and rages in equal measure, weeping for her children, both the dragons she begot with Veres and the hesha made for her by the giants. Once, she took her devotees to her wondrous Lake of Stars, now the realm is silent. Nyx was the beauty of the night, and all the wonders it contained. Now she is total darkness that will sweep over Vala and consume it. The hesha grieve for their lost mother and await her redemption. All others fear her.
