## Goddess of Water - Aquothos

When Giganthian filled the oceans, the waters were untammed. There massive waves, making traversing it near impossible. Many, many years
ago, a woman went down to Asteil's shore to wash her body every day. She never missed a day to bath. One morning, as she stood in the water, the current suddenly became too strong for her to handle. She was pulled into the ocean, and drowned. Legend has it that Giganthian saved her by turning her into water.

## God of War - Verus

Verus, a powerful being said to be a cross between a soul mage and reaper who ascended to god hood after a great many years in the field. Prior to becoming a god, Jirron was a reckless soul mage who nearly lost his life to a soul reaper shortly after becoming a mage. Instead he survived but was only able to cast half of the spell that would merge his soul with the reaper. This caused an incredibly rare phenomenon to happen in which the two souls merged changing him into both a soul mage and a reaper. His left eye became blind and he was only able to see the souls of others with it, while his right eye remained normal. So in order to fuel his hunger for souls he took to hunting reapers and soul mages. Now named Verus, they became so good at hunting reapers without dying that they acheived a sort of godly status amongst the other soul mages and reapers. Eventually people began to worship them as a god of war, over the decades that is what they became. Verus was a mortal who transcended life to become a god of war. They now roams the continent searching for reapers to take their souls. Verus was not accepted at first among the gods, as they initially attempted to stop them from becoming a god in the first place, however they failed as they was the most proficent at fighting. Even with the gods blessing for some of the mortals who tried to stop them, Virus was easily able to stop them with soul magic and surpeme fighting style.
