Goddess of Secrets, The Noble Mother
In her mortal life, Adrieldas was a daelin woman. Though much has changed since she was gifted divinity and a life among the other deities, there are still many pieces of her life that have stayed the same.
Her cunning and intellect was impressive; so much so that her fellow daelin were quick to seek her advice on all varieties of matters. Before long they saw in her a leader worth following.
So too did the Creator. They approached her with a simple offer - become a Goddess and help the other deities look after their creations and the world of Ma’rune - one which Adrieldas readily accepted.
For the first four or five of my visits to the Fields of Elidan, nothing happened. I was bewildered. The other pilgrims had told me, “be silent, be mindful, bring only your heart to show,” and with that the Noble Mother would appear. Yet my early efforts proved fruitless.
By the sixth attempt, I was ready to give up, but something drove me forward.
So I stepped out in the Fields of Elidan for a final time. Wandered through the grass, each blade tickling the skin of my shins and calves, but still no one approached. It wasn’t until I had reached the very centre of the fields, certain the pilgrims had tricked me, that I saw a woman walking towards me from the west. Encompassed by the setting sun. Though I could not see her clearly, I knew. Everything about her - the grace with which she walked, the way the grass seemed to part before her every step - made me privy to the undeniable truth.
Finally, the Noble Mother had blessed me with her presence, and in that moment I felt a peaceful sense of gratitude wash over me.
Personal History
Like all the other daelin who were first to be born unto the world of Ma’rune, Adrieldas awoke from a dreamless slumber. She was a woman, young and fresh faced, gifted with the basic knowledge of the world and their own, newly founded species.
Adrieldas was chosen to be a leader of one of the first daelin Courts. Her sister, Rielik - bonded not by blood, but by heart and soul - would join her as leader of another Court. Though the two had divided their people into these Courts, they still worked together, side by side, arm in arm, right up until the day when Adrieldas accepted the Creator’s offer of divinity.
Watching Rielik thrive through hardship without her tore Adrieldas’ heart in two. A part of her wanted to return, to work alongside her sister once more and bring about a golden age for their people. But another part knew that she must set aside her feelings and move on from her mortal past.
On several occasions, the Creator would ask Adrieldas to try and convince Rielik to accept their offer of divinity as well, but everytime she was met with narrowed eyes and snide remarks by the woman she had grown up to see as family.
