Etheria's Life Story[edit]
Everything comes from something. That's what everyone knows, but when they think of Etheria, they think of the impossible. Etheria was born in the first star's first ray of light, just a young girl all alone in the big universe. As she wandered the world alone, she learned that she could create life, making lions and tigers and bears, making the worlds first people even. It must've been weeks after she learned to create that she was finally done, and days after she was finished when she woke up from resting. Apparently, creating a universe is tiring. As if to complete the universe, another being that rivaled Etheria's power, the Shadow, rose over the world and began a relationship with Etheria. To this day, Etheria has 4 daughters with the lord of darkness and has a special place in her heart for the one she will always be at odds with.
Etheria's Family Life[edit]
As stressful as it is to rule over all of reality, it's even worse if you have to also deal with 4 daughters. In her first years as a mother to quadruplets, she found herself sending her children to play with mortals, letting them play with swords and magic. Though that may have been a bad idea, there wasn't much she could do about it. She had to make sure that the Sun burned, that the Earth turned, and that the mortals stayed calm. Though, with a being of death and darkness in the world, how calm can an entire realm truly be? Despite this, she tried to work it out. Now, she has her daughters working to balance everything, Lily keeping Lilith together, Ferra countering Kerra at every turn, and all Etheria has to worry about is the Shadow and his champions, the Shadow Masters.
Etheria's Clerics[edit]
Etheria's clerics... are hard to find. Etheria takes a handful of men and women from different worlds, even demons, and lifts them up to near-demigod status, giving them powers of light beyond belief. These men and women often have access to any number of abilities, varying from molding the world around them to creating beings out of pure light. These beings are only pulled into power when the Shadow brings out a champion of his own. Etheria will fuel the spell star blast for actual clerics that are trying to follow her. Her favored weapon is the dagger, a habit her daughter Lilith picked up, her favored color is silver and her favored animal is an ancient silver dragon. In fact, if you see a woman in a white glowing dress riding a silver dragon, it's probably her.
