Miralis, the Promethean Lord

## Ceaseless Miralis, the Promethean Lord

The last existing depiction of Ceaseless Miralis, painted by Logarius Lustre.

**Ceaseless** **Miralis, the Promethean Lord** was the forefather and Queen of the monstrous Prometheans, and is thought to be the direct antithesis to Allfather Deus. She was born from the Void, much like Deus himself. The Promethean Lord would, by the Void's will and her own nature, sow absolute pandemonium throughout the cosmology. Birthing the Prometheans in order to hunt the Deities born from Deus.

## Appearance

The Promethean Lord's true appearance remains unknown, and perhaps always will. However, the being was known to alter its form to appear sometimes as an intoxicatingly beautiful humanoid to seduce mortals and deities alike, other times becoming an incomprehensible abomination of cosmic proportions. in a depiction painted by Logarius Lustre, the Promethean Lord appears as an eldritch being clad in archaic armor with a decrepit, skull-like head, and its body is surrounded by an aura of cascading shadow. Illuminated by the crimson blade of the ***Voidscourge***, suspended at the hip.

## Personality

Nothing is known about the Promethean Lord's personality, though based on the descriptions of other Prometheans, it is thought that it was a maddened soul hell-bent on vanquishing the Deities.

## Backstory

Miralis was a being created eons ago by the Void alongside the Prometheans, shortly after Deus had assembled himself from the first matter produced by the Big Bang and made the First Humans. She and her kin were created by the Void with the implicit purpose of scouring the cosmos of Deus and his creations, and snuffing them out upon finding them. The first contact between Miralis' Prometheans and Deus' Gods would spark the War in Heaven that would last for eons.

It is unknown what Miralis did for most of the war, however, at the end of it, it would come out to face Deus himself. The two primordial beings engaged in a battle of cataclysmic proportions, shaking the divine land of Aetheria to its core. However, the Promethean Lord was defeated and vanquished by Deus, being reduced to dust that would forever float throughout the cosmos, ending the war. However, it would not leave without a legacy - The Archangels, beings created by Deus to hunt Prometheans, had been tainted by the blood of Prometheans, allowing the Lord to plant psychic links within their minds and convince them to assassinate Deus upon his throne. Their plan would succeed, and this act would set in motion every event that would lead to the story of Dominance.

## Artifacts

**Voidscourge:** The oldest of the God-Tier Weapons, and perhaps the oldest surviving Voidic artifact, Voidscourge is a weapon of terrifying capability. According to depictions of the blade by Logarius Lustre, Voidscourge was a longsword whose blade is encased with red, infernal energy. According to writings from Frausk, Voidscourge was able to cleave both the body and souls of Deities in two. This ability to damage the very soul of those it struck was said to prevent healing or regeneration of any kind, and even the simplest scratch would become fatal as it continued to bleed and fester. Additionally, those struck by the blade could become instantly corrupted upon Miralis' command, transforming Deities into beings as monstrous as the Prometheans themselves. If one were to be struck down by this blade, then a fate even worse than death would await them - their soul would not float away to the afterlife, but instead it would be eternally banished to a realm where time ceases to exist, forever doomed to float in a state of nonexistence with no chance of being returned to life.
