Personal history

Puava was an early Ditincian goddess, ruling the realms of magic and knowledge. As Crorrm rose to prominence, Puava felt threatened and became jealous. She devised a plan to deceive Efrang, the Draconic Goddess and Celestial Secretary of Nature and Knowledge. She whispered to her that Crorrm was plotting to release knowledge to mortals of magics far beyond what they should be able to wield. Efrang was fully taken in, and she commanded Puava to gather some other younger gods and to deal with the threat. Puava gathered the other Ditincian gods, as well as the Khulding goddess called Ehkehn. Together, they assaulted Crorrm. Crorrm held her attackers at bay, even diminishing Puava to a husk, but the effort drove her into exile in Ether, where she remains to this day.

In more recent times, Puava has been plotting ways to return to full godhood. She has carefully cultivated pacts with several mortals and is working through them to spread belief in her, which will bring her back to power.
