Ignus

The deity of light. Ignus is the source of all the light in the world. She is one half of the god Macros Ignus. She values freedom and self-determination.

### Conflict with Eden

Early into the period of creation, Eden noticed that the plants and creatures she created looked more beautiful under the light of Ignus. Eden wanted to make sure that everyone could see her beautiful creations in the fine detail that light provided, so she enslaved Ignus to keep the light under her control. At this point in time, Ignus couldn't communicate in a way that most other gods could understand. Her pleads for empathy and mercy to Eden were useless. Her cries for justice to Leocor went unheard. Leocor didn't even understand that Ignus was sentient. Macros on the other hand could understand Ignus very clearly. Macros was having issues with Leocor and was waiting for the opportunity to gain power and be free of Leocor's lawful tyranny. Macros began to conspire with Ignus. The two gods set up a plan that would give them both power to free from Leocor and Eden. Macros suggested that they merge into one entity with enough power to resist the will of the other deities.

The time for the merge arrived. Eden was enjoying her creations under the light of Ignus. Ignus tried to move away. Eden held on to her to pull her back. Eden's hands had the power to hold onto light as if it were solid as stone. Eden refused to let go. It was at this moment where Macros made his gambit. He forged half of his soul and all of his form with Ignus. The new form began to take shape. The soft, harmless light of Ignus was replaced with fire. Eden's hand burnt down all the way to her wooden twiglike bones. Noticing the permanent damage being done to her, Eden finally decided to let go. The other deities were looking on in shock. Ignus now not only had the power to burn but the power to speak in a way that all the gods could understand "Keep your hands off of me. I do not exist for your benefit, Eden. If you try to control me as you did again, I will destroy you". No deity has ever spoken to Eden in this way. None had even spoken of the possibility of destroying another deity. None thought that was possible. Ignus was free and the new form Macros Ignus left Eden and all of her beautiful creations alone in the darkness.

### Eden and Leocor clash with Macros Ignus

Tensions between Eden and Ignus were out of hand. Eden was desperate to see her beautiful creations in the light again. Leocor was also concerned about the creation of Macros Ignus. He knew Macros to be a destructive and evil deity and wasn't too pleased with Macros gaining more power. Leocor also started to feel guilty about what happened to Ignus. He did not know that she was sentient and didn't understand that she was being enslaved. He is upset that such an injustice happened under his watch.

After hopelessly sitting in the darkness for a long while, Eden finally made a difficult decision. She stood up, swallowed her pride, went to Leocor and asked him for help. A moment of silence consumed both of them. Eden never asked for help before. She believed her powers of creation were superior to all and that if in the rare case where she needed anything from another deity, she would demand it or take it by force, but she never ask. Leocor broke the awkward silence between them. He told Eden that one or both of them would likely die if they confronted Macros Ignus. Leocor suggested that the two of them create new entities to take care of the world if they were to be destroyed. With a heavy heart Eden accepted Leocor's plan. Leocor created the first of the angels and Eden created the first of the fey. They hid their creations away in planes of existence where Macros Ignus couldn't reach. They also hid some of their older creations away in these dimensions so even if Macros Ignus tried, he would be unable to destroy them all. The angles and the fey created with all the powers and authority to take the place of the two Gods should they be destroyed.

The moment came for Eden and Leocor to confront Macros Ignus.
