Trelta, Goddess of Justice and Light
Overview
Trelta is the embodiment of Light, Justice, and Peace, serving as a guiding force of hope, fairness, and harmony in the world. She is the patron of those who fight for righteousness, protect the innocent, and seek to bring balance to the world. Her light symbolizes not just physical brightness but clarity of mind, truth, and the warmth of compassion. She stands as a beacon of justice, ever watchful for imbalance or corruption, and seeks to bring about peace through understanding, empathy, and diplomacy. She was the second Gandur to come into existence right alongside her older brother, Adamas, The God of Order and Time . Her strong sense of justice and yearning for peace made her immediately join the side of her brother against Chaos/She That Devours in trying to seal her progenitor away. Through great struggle alongside her other brother and sister, Baladax, God of Magic and Elements and Lilith, Goddess of Darkness and Shadow, the four of the Gandur were able to achieve the nearly impossible feat of Godhood.
Appearance in Art
Trelta’s presence is radiant, casting an ethereal glow that seems to illuminate the very air around her. Her skin is a luminous gold, soft like the warmth of dawn, and her hair flows like liquid silver, shimmering with threads of pure white and pale blue, constantly shifting and reflecting the light in a celestial dance. Her eyes are pools of brilliant light, shifting between hues of soft blue and glowing amber, ever-changing but always warm and welcoming. She is of a majestic height, yet her presence exudes gentleness and comfort. Trelta often appears in a flowing robe of pure white, accented with delicate symbols of scales and rays of light. Her robes seem to flutter as if caught by an unseen breeze, and the edges sparkle with stardust. Around her neck, she wears a pendant shaped like a radiant ankh, the symbol of her divine power and her connection to the light.
