Eden

Eden is the god of the wilderness. She created the plants, most of the animals, High Elves, Wood Elves and halflings of the world. She values beauty and attempted to put it in all of her creations. She first created animals to roam the lands and worship her talent for creation. After some time she noticed that her animals were hungry and unwell, so she made the plants for them to eat.

Now her animals were happy and grateful, but she noticed a problem with her creation. They did not worship her. They couldn’t comprehend the idea of worshipping a god. She needed to be worshipped. She got a spark of inspiration. She used her power to create the Halfling. Eden believed that the Halfling was the most beautiful creature and it worshipped her and praised all of her creations with enthusiasm. The Halfling made its village in Eden’s forests and Eden was pleased.

### Conflict with Leocor

After seeing the Halfling, Leocor felt compelled to make a creation of his own. He lacked Eden's creatively so he used the halfling as his inspiration. His creation would be taller and wouldn’t feel so compelled to worship him. He created the human. Simple and versatile. Leocor was proud of his new creation and loudly proclaimed that his humans are the most beautiful creation in the world. Eden’s ego was wounded by this insult. To return the favour she created the high elf. Magical and talented. The high elf gracefully looked down on Leocor’s creation. Eden declared that no other god could create anything close to the beauty of her creations. Leocor was pissed. In a fit of anger, he decided to create the dwarf to bring order to the forest and cut down all the trees to quickly build civilization all over the world. To protect the forest, Eden created the wood elf. The wood elves were able to protect the forests from the dwarves and drove them to the hills and mountains. The two creations declared peace on the hills and went their separate ways and claimed their respective domains. The dwarves found the mountains and hills to be a good home away from the chaos of the forests and decided to build civilization there. Leocor apologised for attempting to destroy Eden’s forests. He then gave Eden a gift. He created the Lion and told Eden to find a place for it. Eden accepted the gift and proclaimed to the world that the Lion was indeed a good creation. This is the first time Eden praised any creation that wasn't her own.

### Conflict with Namira

When Eden was creating the High Elves, Halflings, Plants and Animals, Namira became envious of Eden’s talent and attempted to replicate Eden’s creations to demonstrate her own divine power. First she attempted to recreate plants, but she failed. Instead of creating beautiful plants, she made unappealing fungi. Eden laughed at her sister’s failure. She then tried to recreate the high elf, however she was unsuccessful and her final product was the dark elf. The dark elf eyes became weak in the light. Eden laughed again at her sister. Namira became frustrated and unfocused as she made her last attempt. She attempted to create the Halfling, but her ugliness, lack of focus and anger went into the soul of her next creation. Rather than creating a Halfling, she created a Goblin as Eden looked on in horror and disgust. Eden then pointed and laughed at Namira once more. The Goblin joined in and laughed at its own creator. Namira felt as if she was no longer needed in the creation of life so she decided to return to her divine cave, however before doing so, she left behind spores of her magical mushroom so she has a way to communicate with any creature that is willing to appreciate at least one of her creations.

### Conflict with Ignus

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.
