Eris

Goddess of Nature

The First Demigod. The Emerald Divine. Eris is said to be the most beautiful Demigod, completely at peace with the world and nature. Where she walks, conflict stops, enemies become friends and plant and animal life flourishes. As her mother was the first great god, so was Eris the first demigod and she commands a level of respect rarely seen by their kind. She resides in the forests and grasslands of Nirvana and guides those who have just arrived on the plane, helping them settle and starting them on the path to enlightenment. Eris has a strong connection with the mortal world and though she leaves no trace of her influence she is by far the most active of the Demigods and many a lost traveller will attribute their survival to an emerald-eyed animal that lead them to safety.

Personal history

Eris was the first of her kind, created by Nemera to tend to the plane of Nirvana that she shared with Tyrarr. Eris would soon be joined by others as her cousins and eventually sibling would be created in turn but as the first she always carried the respect and admiration of her peers. Eris was soon considered to be as kind-hearted as her mother, helping and guiding all others without exception which lead her to become hugely influential among her lesser siblings, the Angels, once they were born. Eris loved all of her family, be they great or small, and worked hard to ensure that they remained as harmonious as possible. When the material plane was being crafted Eris was responsible for the creation of life on the plane and the forests and the hidden places of the natural world remain strongholds of her influence to this day.
During the Angelic Civil War Eris strove to maintain peace and reopen dialogue as best she could, her influence and power preventing many battles from happening in the first place. Alas in the end she could not stop her younger siblings from killing each other and as everything began to seem inevitable even she began to fall into despair as her family tore itself apart. Her screams of anguish and tears of sorrow at the death of every Angel are legendary and even the most unrepentant of the fallen Angels show guilt towards the impact they had on their sister. Fortunately for Eris peace would once more come to their realms and the end of the Civil War marked a new beginning for Eris. Since that day she has sought to prevent conflict wherever it will arise from the smallest fight to the greatest battle by teaching all living beings, whether mortal or divine, of the peace and tranquillity of enlightenment.
Eris became fully invested to not only to encourage peace but to also protect the peace she had created. Her interference in the mortal world became legendary as would come to save more lives, both physically and spiritually, than any other divine being. For each life she saved so did many more become her followers and soon her worshippers and influence were comparable to that of the Great Gods. Despite this she never sought more power or respect as she was content that her message was being passed on to all who would listen. So dedicated was Eris to her beliefs that when the Slayer killed Oros she was the first to offer to speak to the Living God and attempt to reconcile her family with the murderous deity. To this day she still hopes to bring together the Living Gods and other deities for the good of the world, despite all their differences, as she sees it as the only way to stave off another conflict of deific proportions.

Eris is the oldest child of Nemera and the sister of the Angels and Mymos. While she is dearly attached to her family members she is just as devoted to all living beings no matter how far removed they are from her and often acts as a mediator between parties where necessary to maintain peace.

Speech

Eris has a voice that soothes and calms all who hear it, one that suppresses rage and encourages peaceful discussion. Eris is considered much more of a listener than a speaker so every word she says is important and carries some important meaning that many not become apparent until the time is right.
