Mental characteristics

Personal history

Xeher was among the first to awaken upon the first breath of creation, along with the other Firstborn gods, Titans, And Chaos. Xeher is the one who imbued Asmodeus with self awareness, after a great deal of effort studying Pain following its capture. Tharyzdon held conflicting views of Xeher's work, to the Warmaster the Angels were tools of war and granting them sentience beyond their station seemed cruel. when it came to a vote however, Tharyzdon was swayed by Asmodeus who proved instrumental in a number of Firstborn victories against their foes.  Xeher's affinity for creating wholly unique personalities was the first step towards the forging of the Mortal Planes. as the enemies of the Firstborn were brought to heel, the conflicts and differences between them were highlighted. After Tharyzdon nearly slew a fellow Firstborn Asmodeus and Oros sought a way to avoid the Firstborn tearing themselves apart. Xeher and the other Firstborn set about creating Mortals upon the newly constructed Inner Planes. Tharyzdon refused to create, as he called them, slaves to glorify their creators and resumed his watch with Asmodeus. As Tharyzdon and Asmodeus fell the Firstborns creations were struggling to survive against the Dragons that had feasted on remnants of Primordial energy during the planes creation. While Xeher's creations were tending to the deep places of the world, ensuring no corruption from Chaos or evil penetrated the Fell, the others struggled for survival. by this time the Firstborn had shattered, and were plotting to use their Mortals to eliminate the others. with Asmodeus bound to Baathos and Tharyzdon dead there was no way to rewrite the Stones of Fate. when the Shardlings prayed to Xeher for guidance, the Firstborn urged its children to sooth tensions between the other Mortals as best they could. The War between Dwarf and Giant lead to catastrophic results, diminishing both races glory and sparking a blood feud between their creators. The following conflicts between the Elves and the Dwarves led the Shardlings to commit the unthinkable, as they sought to enslave the other Mortal races, obliterating their self awareness in many cases. Xeher had lost control of its creations, they were convinced that the other Mortals free will was inherently dangerous to the rest of creation. with a heavy heart, Xeher began to cull their children, possessing its High Priest and forging an Avatar the Firstborn destroyed every Shardling until none remained. With the Seat of the Firstborn in disarray there was no possibility of forging a new race bound to Xeher, who in essence was destroying itself. the Firstborn faded away shortly after condemning its creations to extinction, leaving the depths of Irindoth in the hands of the Dwarves.

Intellectual Characteristics
