Long before nations rose and fell, before blades clashed and kings ruled, there were Four Goddesses who shaped the tapestry of the world. Sisters of fate, bound by purpose and contrast, they each governed a fundamental force of existence:
-
Arenya, Goddess of Destruction
The Scorched Crown, Flame of Ends
- Wields sacred flame to bring cleansing ruin.
- Destruction is her mercy—an end that makes way for rebirth.
- Associated with Finality, Purging, and Rebirth.
- Worshipped by Demons, though the chosen Pillar is never guaranteed to be of their kind.
-
Selphira, Goddess of Creation
The Weaver of Dawns, Mother of Sparks
- Brings forth life, dreams, and form from emptiness.
- Represents potential, innovation, and origin.
- Associated with Birth, Imagination, and Growth.
- Worshipped by Humans, who believe their child will always be her Pillar.
-
Nymira, Goddess of Chaos
The Ever-Shifting Mask, Spiral Heart

- Embodies change, emotion, and the unpredictability of will.
- Chaos is not evil—it is the necessary force that challenges stagnation.
- Associated with Freedom, Madness, and Instinct.
- Worshipped by Thirens, but chaos follows its own spiral path.
-
Vaelis, Goddess of Order
The Silent Balance, Lady of Crystal Laws
- Holds dominion over structure, law, and equilibrium.
- Brings harmony and clarity—sometimes through silence and sacrifice.
- Associated with Control, Rhythm, and Unyielding Law.
- Worshipped by Elves, who see themselves as natural stewards of her balance.
Every 100 years, the Spiral turns.
The world births four children, each chosen by a different goddess. These children are known as Pillars—living conduits for divine influence.
- The Spiral is not fixed by race or bloodline.
It does not favor tradition, nation, or expectation.
Though Humans worship Creation, their child may one day bear the Mark of Chaos.
Though Demons honor Destruction, their true Pillar may wield Order.
- Pillar of Creation – Builder of futures, bearer of new light.
- Pillar of Destruction – Ender of eras, fire of change.
- Pillar of Chaos – Disrupter of patterns, liberator of thought.
- Pillar of Order – Keeper of law, weaver of stability.
No mortal chooses to become a Pillar.
No priest can predict it.
When the time comes, the goddesses whisper, and the Spiral answers.
