Astirian Gods

The Astirian Gods are a group of ancient, otherworldly beings with god-like power and prestige. Father Estic and Mother Law originate from the Eliath Beyond but used their unfathomable power to create Starr. They had children, Son VOID and Daughter CAID who briefly joined their ranks before VOID's betrayal.

## History

The origins of the Astirian Gods are still shrouded in mystery; it is only known that Father Estic and Mother Law are powerful beings from the Eliath Beyond. They chose to create Starr, a vast myriad of dimensions and life that are shielded from the horrors of the beyond. Father Estic created the beginnings of the Estic Realms and his Realm Stones while Mother Law focused on Senothia and her Athanasia.

Both entities spawned progeny together, Son VOID and Daughter CAID. The Daughter was born with the gift to control CAID while the Son had the opposite power of controlling VOID. It wasn't long before Starr was discovered by other Eliath creatures who intended to destroy it. Because of this, Father Estic was forced to leave Starr and fight to protect his creation for eternity.

Son VOID was always troubled but finally set his sinister plans into action. Now known as Nurmor, the master of VOID confronted Daughter CAID in the First Sheol and swiftly destroyed her, leaving only her remains. Soon after, Nurmor recruited the gargantuan Senoption, Mother Law's greatest guardian, into his Voidal Knights. Senoption distracted Mother Law while Nurmor used his VOID to permanently erase her powers. Senoption proceeded to seal her away.

Fortunately, Nurmor's essence was also sealed away by the Chaos Core, resulting in thousands of years of no Astirian activity. Things would change in the 12th dusk once the Chaos Core was finally destroyed and Nurmor was free once more. Mother Law managed to reach out to Wibbot and the Heralds of Retha to guide them on their journey. The heroes vanquished Senoption, and although she was still nearly powerless, resulted in Mother Law's release.

Nurmor continued his quest to erase Starr through Dimiourgia, and even succeeded in an alternate future. The Heralds of Retha continued to oppose him and eventually faced each other in a mysterious confrontation. The outcome remains unknown except for potentially the erasure of the Axe-Claw territories.

## Members

#### Father Estic

* **Race-** Astirian God
* **Classification-** The Father
* **Status-** Alive
* **Description-** Father Estic, creator of the Estic Realms, is one of the most powerful beings ever witnessed. He has full control over the energy of Estic and allows the people of his realms to harness it for their own purposes. The Father was forced to eternally protect his creation from threats outside of Starr, therefore remaining oblivious to what goes on within. Despite this, he left the "Father Fragments" scattered throughout his realms for worthy individuals to communicate with him and temporarily receive great power.

#### Mother Law

* **Race-** Astirian God
* **Classification-** The Mother
* **Status-** Depowered
* **Description-** Mother Law, creator of the Plane of Law, was one of the most powerful beings ever witnessed. Before the erasure of her powers, she had full control over the energy of Mana, which allows the people of her plane to harness it for their own purposes. Mother Law's ultimate creations were Senothia and her former guardian Senoption. She used what little power she had left to aid the Heralds of Retha and retired to the depths of the Underground Jungle with the company of her granddaughter Estna.

## Former Members

#### Son VOID

* **Race-** Astirian God
* **Classification-** The Son
* **Status-** Alive
* **Description-** Known as Nurmor, the God of VOID, and Leader of the Voidal Knights, this entity has been the main scourge behind most of Starr's conflict. He murdered his sister, erased his mother's power, and wiped out countless realms and individuals. Nurmor has a unique mastery over VOID, his sister's CAID, and has even delved into the powers of Destiny. The Son, with his higher awareness, was disgusted to see other-existential beings using Starr as their playground and made a powerful oath to destroy it.

#### Daughter CAID

* **Race-** Astirian God
* **Classification-** The Daughter
* **Status-** Deceased
* **Description-** Daughter CAID was one of the most powerful beings ever witnessed. She had full control over the existential force of CAID which allowed her to create anything she wished and bent reality as if it had always existed. Her powers far exceeded those of her parents while carrying a benevolent and carefree personality. The Daughter was excited to create, but when confronted by Nurmor, she did not resist as it was not in her nature, allowing Nurmor to kill her and keep her powers for himself.

## Bases of Operations

The Astirian Gods do not normally present themselves to lower lifeforms and remain hidden out of sight. Most individuals in Starr are even unsure as to whether these gods even exist. Some can rarely be found while other haven't been seen for eons.

* **Eliath Beyond-** Birthplace of the Father and the Mother, it is visually incomprehensible to lower beings. Father Estic resides outside of Starr in order to fend off the mindless creatures that eternally plague and seek the destruction of his creation.
* **Starr-** The greatest Astirian creation, Starr, contains the overlapping Plane of Law and Estic Realms. It is home to a plethora of unique and distinct creatures and locations. Many heroes and villains alike have risen and fallen throughout Starr's history.
	+ **Underground Jungle-** Mother Law resides in a hidden pocket within the Underground Jungle under Abulon. Only poison-enduring beings are able to withstand the journey through the jungle and arrive to the Mother.

## Affiliations

The Astirian Gods may stay out of sight but are not afraid to interact with their creations. Many of which have made great efforts to protect Starr alongside their creators, whether it be by purpose or by choice. They have gained the Father and Mother's respect.

* **Alliance to Preserve Starr-** Unofficially named, the Starr Alliance was briskly formed after the return of the Voidal Knights. Extreme threats like Gohdumsin and Dimiourgia warranted the cooperation of numerous deities in order to win the new war against the knights. It was comprised of power deities from throughout the realms.
	+ **Heralds of Retha-** The Heralds have proven their devotion to Starr by defeating multiple Voidal Knights. They have cooperated and been empowered by Mother Law and have likewise interacted with Father Estic through his fragments.

## Enemies

* **Son VOID-** Despite being an Astirian God himself, Nurmor betrayed the Astirian name by pledging himself to destroy Starr at all costs. His parents became practically powerless to stop him, leaving the fate of Starr onto the brave individuals within.
* **Unknown Entity-** This entity also originated from the Eliath Beyond and was responsible for the creation of Gohdumsin, a powerful creature with a desire to see Starr crumble. He also used his mysterious powers to plant a seed in an infant Starr through the form of the Mirror World.
