Personal history

Mythlys was born Myra Thylas, to a family that traded frequently with Elven neighbors for goods. Myra would be tutored by the Wizards that lived in the Elven community at the behest of her parents, though before her 20th winter Myra would be struck by a bolt of Arcane Lightning following the death of then god of magic Adohr during the Heavenly Wars between celestials of law and chaos. she would remain in a near death state for some time until her body acclimated to the sudden infusion of Divine Essence, ascending to Godhood instantly aware of the Ley Lines that permeated the Universe and how they wove together to form the network from which the Arcane was powered and balanced. Myra mind had been scattered and damaged by the sudden Divine Essence, causing memories to become blurred and damaged, and so she pieced together the fragments of her name she could remembered and pressed on as Mythlys. After the Catastrophe in Narsai with Nefar Ka Ahm, Mythlys divide a great portion of her Divine Essence into four Wizards to aid her in not only protecting the Ley Lines but to safeguard from events similar to the demonic invasion in Narsai. Mythlys, however, chose talent rather than virtue as her guiding force and placed her trust in Amnul who showed great promis in the Arcane. Amnul would go on to create a number of horrific spells and wars forging the Empire of Khoven to serve his goals, and causing Mythlys to lose faith in humanity for a time, aiding the three remaining Archmagi and their Successors in destroying the Khoven, and undermining Amnul's attempts at power. Mythlys would often accuse Iribus of manipulating events on Irrindor to his own benifits, such as the corruption of her chosen mages in Amnul. Mythlys and Iribus would have a number of battles, as Mythlys attempted to overpower the Lord of secrets, only to discover that while she was indeed more powerful Iribus held a number of secrets that prevented her from destroying the God, no matter how many times she obliterated the Avatar. shortly before Long Night, Iribus sued for peace with the Goddess, in return for peace he would offer the lost memories of her mortal life, something she'd never managed to recover in centuries of study. Iribus, true to his word, restored the memories of the Goddess leading her to the place of her rebirth as Mythlys, forcing them both into mortal forms where she was far more vulnerable than the Masked God. It was here that Iribus struck, paralyzing the Goddess and trapping her within his demi-plane for the entirety of Long Night, Until Iribus Ignited her Divine Essence to destroy the Ley Lines just as the Ascended re-united the Planes of the Great Wheel, devastating the nature of magic forevermore.
