### War of the Gods

As one of Mina's Children, she opposed Nargol and the Nargolians.

Feria hid and witnessed Nargol killed her mother and father, Orgis and Mina. She managed to hide from Nargol but her heart was broken. Then somehow she was saved by Odis but since then she developed Nargol phobia.

### Elios Political Strife

Although there is peace with the newly formed Elios Pantheon but there was conflict between the Mina descendants and Nargol descendants, in regards with the treatment of the neutral gods in the war. Volgas and Modus suggested to welcome the neutral gods to Elios. However this was opposed by the goddesses centred around Feria, Ishtia and Rena.

She approached Heibos and persisted for his assistance in creating new species. Once Heibos has completed the cauldron of life, he handed over to Feria. Feria called Odis and the other Mina's children to create new species. She first created the elven race with the intention of them attending the goddesses. She and the other deities created the yarven race. The Elios deities were satisfied with the birth of humans.

The deities of light released the humans into the world. There was a conflict with the indigenous species and the new species. Feria, who was angry about this, dispatched the war god Thores to attack that species. But that led to a fight between the neutral gods whose indigenous species were their kin group. Feria denounce the neutral gods as Evil Gods and declare her declaration of war. The opposition were the deities descended from Nargol, centred with Modus and Volgas. Rena and Feria conspired to remove the opposing party of Modus and Volgas. Rena was in charge of Modus, while Feria is responsible for Volgas. With Modus banished, Feria plotted to banish Volgas. But it didn't succeeded as Volgas was known for his fairness.
