Noe is the Supreme Goddess of Conflict. Fuelled by the existence of conflict itself, Noe relished the endless conflict raging at the dawn of time and with the power they gave her, she established control of the universe for the Supreme Deities.

## Noe's Influence

Like all the remaining Supreme Deities, Noe is no longer an active participant in the divine rulership of Eladron. She left to the edges of the universe with Hallistar, their current whereabouts unknown.

### Noe's Goals

Noe needs very little to keep her satisfied; as long as conflict exists, she will be empowered and strengthened. Many believe that the only thing stopping Noe from carrying on with her endless battling is the pact the Supreme Deities have with the Pantheon of Kalix stopping them from intervening with the rulership of Eldaron.

### Divine Relationships

Noe terrifies the Pantheon of Kalix; by her very nature, she cannot be defeated in conflict. The more power thrown at her, the stronger she becomes, leading to Noe being a theoretically unstoppable threat if she wished to destroy Eldaron.

Noe had a very simple relationship with Fandalgorn; they respected the power each other possessed, and although they rarely worked together, they worked well when they did.

The relationship of Hallistar and Noe is one of great mystery; sources never suggested a close relationship, despite Noe's domination of the primal forces of the universe giving Hallistar's planes purpose. Yet, when they left the Greater Deities to rule, they left together. This clearly suggests a deeper companionship that the sources suggest, which has caused a great amount of theorising in scholarly communities. However, no breakthroughs have been made.

Noe was very indifferent towards Shendali's mortals, and thus, the two goddess only interacted infrequently. However, Noe was more than willing to help defend Shendali's mortals from extraplanar threats whenever necessary, even if it was just an opportunity to fight. Noe refused to intervene between Fandalgorn and Shendali out of respected for both her supreme siblings, but also because she did not want to end the fight early, as she embraced the conflict.

Like Shendali, Noe is apathetic towards Wydrivil. It is a fellow Supreme Deity and thus, should not be fought, and that is where Noe's thoughts on Wydrivil end.

## Worshipping Noe

Noe is not openly worshipped; open worship of the Supreme Deities is generally looked down upon in the reign of the Pantheon of Kalix. Despite this, cults of Noe do exist, tending to be fanatical in violence.

The warband and mercenary group the Fists of Noe, despite their name, do not tend to worship Noe, instead just using her name. However, various members of the warband have taken to worshipping Noe with cultish fervour, killing without any remorse or hesitation. Another cult of Noe, the Wielders of the Golden Gladius, worship Noe through ceremonial combat, imitating Noe's avatar by using gold-plated weapons and only being protected by a helmet. They believe it is an honour to die as tribute to the goddess, but it is a greater honour to cause your opponent to die as a tribute.

## Myths of Noe

Noe's myths are highlighted in The Creation of Eldaron; the most prominent being her conquering of the universe for the Supreme Deities.
