Esyae Character in Caeda | World Anvil

Esyae

Pre History

  Floating endlessly through the great expanse for countless eons, Esyae grew tired of contemplating her own existence. Eventually deciding that she needed to create new life to give meaning to her own. Knowing that creating life on the scale she desired would also require the power to destroy (a power she could not bring herself to use) she struck a bargain with her celestial cousin Noldrin to create the world of Caeda .   While she knew she would one day grow to regret agreeing to let Noldrin destroy Caeda eventually, she nearly forgot about it upon Caedas completion and the birth of her daughter Caedenya. Immediately going to work helping her daughter grow and begin the process of creating plant and animal life. Eventually she left her daughter to continue that work while she began to create the Elves.  

Mother of Elves

  Soon after creating the Elves and seeing them struggle to gain a foothold in this new world she granted them magic to ease their suffering and make it easier to tame the wilds. Eventually monsters created by Noldrin began to appear, attacking her children so she relented and granted them access to the arcane as well. She also created the Metallic Dragons to aid the Elves in their struggles with the monstrous hordes.   After Noldrin succeeded in creating the Dark Elves she viewed them as a horrible corruption of her precious children. After they attacked and began to slay the Elves she stepped in to repel their onslaught. This of course drew Noldrin in and soon the two gods could be seen attacking each other directly causing immense levels of destruction across the face of the world.  

Repentant Mother

  Feeling the pain being inflicted upon her surface by her warring parents, Caedenya stepped in their path and forced a brokered peace. During a heated exchange in the negations, Noldrin revealed to Caedenya, for the first time, that her mother had agreed to let him eventually destroy her.   Seeing the pain of betrayal on her daughters face, Esyae broke a little inside. Afterwords she did everything she could to heal the rift with her daughter but was unable to succeed. When her Elves begain slaughtering Caedenyas children, Esyae was eager to step in and stop the action hoping it would bring reconciliation with Caedenya. Unfortunately it did not have the desired affect, while she was able to prevent the slaughter she could not stop the nearly as brutal subjugation.   Still she struggles to repair the bond with her daughter.
