The Quiet

The Demon Queen who maintains/draws power from the balance of night and day, light and dark. It is said that her youthful beauty is unmatched and her personality is that of a young girl. However conflicting accounts regard her as a serious, cold and calculating woman. Her sphere is the period of transition and change, as seen in the constant twilight of her realm of The Abyss, The Astral Well. She is known to be one of the more merciful and benevolent Lords, though her wrath is swift and painful when brought about. She oversees the Abyssal Plane of The Astral Well, a beautiful world of blurred colors streaming together, cities of silver, and air like perfume.

### Weaver of Shadow

The Quiet is a very mysterious and hard to comprehend entity, while it is due to her and the Weaving of Shadow and Pouring of Life that all of us live on Vitore, she also has never been involved in Vitoran affairs and many believe her to either be in constant sleep or potentially even be dead. Even her Warlocks speak of The Astral Well as guiding them, not The Quiet herself.

### Matron of Demons

When Vitore was crafted, The Quiet weaved from Shadow the 13 Demon Princes who best encapsulated mortal kind at the time. Our savagery and barbarism reflected in their violent and cruel methods. As we have become more civilized, so to have our Demon Princes, preferring instead to Tempt than to aggravate.

### Mother of Life

From the radiance of Solis, a shadow was cast off of Dendar, and it grew to be known as The Quiet. Solis slithered through the sky leaving streaks of light along his path curling into a ball and nesting. The Quiet then moved the streaks of light through the sky making the stars. Dendar shed its skin and slithered into the dark. The Quiet then took this skin and formed the planets. The shell of the egg was then crafted into the moon. It was during this that The Quiet noticed a tiny third serpent at the bottom of the shell. Jormungandr was its name and he slithered intto the oceans of Vitore. The Quiet felt lonely in this existence that there were none like her. She first poured life on the moon so that creation could be close to her, thus the moon elves were born naming their home Arnadithil. She then poured life into Vitore. Wherever life touched the world, the waters would make something new. When life struck the mountains, Dwarves were born. When it cascaded to the forests, Wood Elves were born. When it flowed through the valleys, Halflings were born. When it froze in the north The Ganyd were born. Soaking into the moss, The Spriggans were born. Life poured thru Vitore in this way creating life as we know it today. When the waters of life had seemed to finally reach the end of creation it rested in dirt and so from the mud sprang the first humans awash with a bit of all the traits of the higher creations before them. So all of creation came to be. Solis rejoiced at the desire for his warmth and a burst of rock and fire struck the ground of the world and from the ashes the Phoerrim were born. The Quiet then pulled from her cloak and created beings made of her to preside over creation. Thus, The Demon Princes were born. Slinking in the Shadows, The Night Serpent began to devour the Nightmares of The Quiet's Creations. As she did, Monsters were birthed, giving flesh and bone to our deepest and darkest fears.

### Mistress of The Moon

The Moon Elves of Arnadithil are some of The Quiet's most devout followers and have continued her worship all the way until their self imposed exile. It is the belief of The Moon Elves that The Quiet is vastly misunderstood and is in all actuality The Demon Queen of Life. Every year during Darkcrest followers of The Quiet experience something called The Call of Arnadithil which is a hallucinagenic vision that apparently allows one to commune with The Quiet in a true and unrestricted way. There has been no evidence that this is anything more than a sleep deprived hallucination due to the 72 hour long ritual that must be performed.
