Aeva Prithalis Character in Aradeia | World Anvil

Aeva Prithalis

Goddess Aeva Prithalis (a.k.a. Lady Aeva)

In Aradeia's overall history, only one mortal is known to have overcome all limits of mortal existence. Their name is as well-known as their creation is - Aeva Prithalis, creator of the heavenly realm. Aeva Prithalis was born as the child of a human and a faery. Due to her genes, she was blessed with a knick for the arcane, blossoming in magic of all kinds. Still, she was fascinated by alchemy and soon realised that her version of magic enabled her to not only alter and manipulate reality, but create it. As the girl grew up, she gave her best to hide her powers since creation was one of the least common magical practices on this planet. But eventually, she failed miserably at repressing her creational endeavours. From tiny organisms like insects and frogs to larger creations like trees, huts, small islands and vehicles, it seemed as there was no end in sight. On the daily, she came up with new inventions, making something out of nothing and even though she was aware that her powers could develop into a real problem, she continued using her magical skill and expanded what she learned each day. One day, a military commander watched he create a magical bow and arrow. While she had forged the bow out of an old tree branch, she let the arrow appear out of thin air and blessed it with her own innate magic, causing him to fear her becoming a threat to all of the Omni. A ticking time bomb waiting to turn their attacks on their surroundings, as soon as someone or something hurt her.
Aeva was barely awake the next day when a group of soldiers blindfolded and muted her and took her far into the depths of the Wilderness. About to be executed due to her abilities, she cried and writhed in their grasp until they let her go and allowed her to speak. She begged for her life and had to swear that she'd leave these lands, unaware that she would lose her powers as soon as she left the continent.
When Aeva left the coast and felt her powers fading, she bound herself eternally to the continent beneath and swore to protect her realm from afar. Since Aradeia was fearful of her, she lifted to the skies and created her own idea of the world - a luscious, beautiful place for all those that she deemed worthy of her home. After hundreds and hundreds of years, she has not only reached an eternal life, but has enabled other Omni to reach an eternal life beyond one's dreams as well. Today, she is the leader of the Aevan council and the main spokesperson for a realm that cannot be entered by living beings, unless they swear to never share what hides behind the clouds.

Mental characteristics

Mental Trauma

Even though the scarce amount of stories about meeting her deliver a rather calm and gentle demeanor on her part, there are rumours about the goddess's personal issues that have caused her to completely withdraw from the mortal realm.
Since her story is widely known in all of Aradeia, people are aware of the dangers of being as special as Aeva was, and still, many hope to become an Aevan citizen when they die, since it would grant them an eternal, happy and fulfilling life after death.
Aeva herself is struggling with her mental health. Even after all these years, she misses her family and friends greatly and holds resentment against the mortal realm for taking what she needed the most to be happy.

Intellectual Characteristics

Even though she died pretty young, her intelligence remained and grew over time, as well as her wisdom. She is very skilled in both the social and technical aspects of life in Aeva, welcomes every new Aevan personally in their native tongue and makes sure that every citizen has everything they need. Since she sees herself as the guardian of her own companions and the mortal realm, she tries to keep herself up-to-date at all times and adjusts to any changes on the continent, making her an invaluable ally.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Aeva's main priority is keeping Aeva (and Aradeia in extension) safe. Aeva is not only her creation, it is her home - and her own existence is bound to the safety of the continent below. Even though the arcane core is somewhat stable, she is always worried that another grounding might part the continent and destroy the core within - and, therefore, the planet. Her council and her soldiers are the only beings able to safe Aradeia time and time again. Their powers are beyond any Elven or Dwarven interference, balancing the forces when it's truly needed.

Personality Quirks

  • has a weakness for bunny rabbits, especially white ones
  • keeps her favourite crown in a sage green woven cotton cloth

History

When Sirgil and Jaelle were chosen to be enlightened, they both had problems adjusting to their new lives. Aeva immediately took care of them. She taught them how to behave and what rules to adhere to and soon became a motherly figure for them. Even though they look the same age, it is more than obvious that Aeva is wise beyond her years, making Sirgil and Jaelle two of her most loyal followers.
