Idraxis

## The Void

How Idraxis appears to their Children.

Idraxis, often referred to as *thaknilus* (meaning "Most Beloved") by their worshipers, *abrinilus* (meaning "Most Feared") by those unlucky enough to know about them intimately, or simply Void, when referred to in stories, is the First God. Not only could they be considered the God of the Void, but they also are the Void. Despite their best efforts at the beginning, it is in their nature to destroy. Now estranged from their children, Void's morals have turned sour.

## Creation

Before Void, there was nothing. At least, nothing that Void was ever willing to talk about. From deep within the Void there was a light, and through sheer luck and force, this light escaped. The First Light came to be known as Breldear, the first child of Idraxis and the first star in the night sky. In the beginning, Breldear and Idraxis were nearly inseparable. More and more strong light tried to escape from the Void, and it was at this point that Void discovered the existence of their counterpart, Daena, the embodiment of pure cosmic light and energy. Daena was able to pull out the stars and the lights from within Void that were weaker than the first, and the story of their love set in motion the creation of the worlds.

The nature of Void is destruction, however. Although from within Void came many things, the collision of Void and Energy is destruction. As the first people were being crafted, Idraxis and Daena decided it was time for them to relax from the creation of the stars, as it was exhausting for the both of them. They tasked the stars with the stress of the rest of creation, but when the lovers went to embrace each other for the first time, there was mass destruction of the beginnings of creation. The stars had to make a hard decision, but they separated Idraxis and Daena into different planes. In the process of this, Daena was allowed to create one more light, the only light she created by herself as Breldear was the only light Void created by themself. Daena called this light Asteras.

Underneath the eternal though distant watch of Idraxis and Daena, the stars were left to their creations with the dread of their parents' imprisonment looming over them. From then on, the stars kept their parents locked well enough away, showing them Creation from afar.

## Breldear and The First World

Being the firstborn of the Void, and to be alone with them for quite some time before the creation of the world, means that anything is bound to happen. Idraxis very quickly fell in love with planning and their child was always by their side to help with the creation of the first world. The two of them would separate from Daena and go off, planning the creation of other gods and the structures of the planet and its moons. They'd dream of timelines to be played out and the characters they might get to meet.

When Idraxis and Daena first embraced after the creation of the First World, most of the stars were out working on their creations. This left Breldear alone to stop the total obliteration of their creations, but this put them in a compromised and wounded state. Breldear felt betrayed by their father, and thus it was them that concocted the plans to seal the two lovers away where no one but them and their three eldest younger siblings would be able to find them. Idraxis was moved to a new plane dubbed the Voidal Plane, and Daena was moved to another new plane dubbed the Shifting Realm.

## Children of Dreams

In 130 PF, a githzerai by the name of Nahira had fled her family in search of something more, something better. For the first time in millennia, Idraxis reached their tendrils out and found a presence seeking a higher knowledge and divinity, and they took this opportunity and ran with it. Nahira became their first disciple since before they were locked away, and she started up the Children of Dreams. The goal of this group, and of Idraxis, is to snare a Star and free them from their prison.

Eventually, this group gathered quite the number and so Nahira, with the help of her supporters, built the Thakoporith in Keir territory, where it would blend in. As the Children of Dreams gained numbers, Idraxis became more and more excited, though they kept this quiet from anyone else. Not even Daena was allowed to know what Idraxis was plotting. They'd not seen their partner in so long that they no longer knew if they could trust her fully, though they were still very much in love with her. Idraxis made certain to never tell the Children, not even Nahira, about their partner Daena.
