Leath

Leath was a mortal who became the favored mistress of Chronos. She understood, or seemed to understand, celestial politics; and began to provide Chronos with advice. Eventually, she gained enough trust to be allowed visitation to the home of the gods; and this rise above mere mortals, her affair, and such an honor is said to have lead her to feel empowered enough to attempt manipulation of the gods themselves. Her main objective, to overthrow the Goddess of the Home, Queen of the Gods. However, the gods where not fools, they realized how she no longer feared them, and had grown both arrogant, and disrespectful. Treating the celestial capital as if it where her own. For her huberious, and intent, the Queen of the Gods expelled her from the grounds, and twisted her into a serpentess.
The transformation, having to move across the ground as she did, and the mere lose of power, and how Chronos had turned his gaze from her, to never hear her pleas, distressed her. Her mind, began to become as twisted as her form. She took to preying upon faithful mothers, and children to strike at the domain of the Goddess Queen whose domain was home. She also took pleasure in luring husbands from their wives, before killing them. It was all a process, draw the man away, kill him, kill the wife, eat the children.
Her actions caught the attention of the Prince of Tyrle, son of Eakos who vowed to slay her. They met on the plains of Tyrle, where it was only by an ancestral shield that the Prince was protected, a gift from his mother, who was daughter of Xephene. He cut off her head, and brought it back to the city of Tyrle where it remained on display till ravens consumed it.
Unknown to the prince however, Leath had children. Three who had been born from the essence of her first victim, and a clutch that hatched the day of her death. Thus a feud began between the Leathites, and People of Tyrle which would leave Tyrle politically weakened, and the Leathites scattered.
