Solaine

Goddess of Creation and Beauty

"I too have been lonely, it is a feeling only us two can comprehend. When no one is there beside you. When there is no one there to love you. When no one understands you that is the greatest loneliness. No more Bhaal, for now, I have you, dear Brother. Now I have you Bhaal and all your creations...how can I possibly punish you for what I feel?"

— Solaine - Talking to her brother Bhaal after the creation of Man

During the age of darkness when there was nothing but Tenebris no one knew of Solaine or her divine power. No one knew of her blessing light and the creations that spilt forth from it. No one knew that her unending loneliness would be her downfall.
Solaine is the Goddess of eternal beauty. The creator of Luna, The Veil and the other gods.
In the beginning, before time itself ticked on, in the cosmic void of darkness, there was an unending silence. Darkness spread through the cosmos and enveloped all the planets, stars and creatures of the universe. It was Solaine who cast this darkness asunder and brought about the age of the Unwavering Light. It was through Solaines light that Luna was crafted and the Planes of Existence were woven into the fabric of the universe. Solaines Light cast a beautiful radiance on everything. Solaine knew that where there is light there is also shadow, and in these shadows, Tenebris schemed and plotted waiting for his time to return.

The First Creations

Solaine first created the Astral Plane. A place where’s her divine power would reside for the undetermined future of our universe. Next Solaine placed her hands together and breathed a pulse of light into her hands creating the Elemental Planes. In each of these planes, she placed a guardian to watch over the elementals and give life to the world of Luna. These beings of perfect form were known as the Eidolons. After creating the Eidolons Solaine grew lonely and restless of her unequalled power. She could create anything she wanted to but she had no equal or no creature to share her creations with. It was in this time of loneliness Solaine pulled from her heart a sister known as Rena and gifted her a spear. From her eye, she wept a single tear and as it fell onto Luna her brother Bhaal sprung from the ground. Unknown to her Bhaal was gifted the same divine power as Solaine.

The Great Meeting

The great meeting of the Solaine, Rena, Bhaal and the Eidolons impacted Solaine the most. It was during this meeting the Eidolons demanded that Solaine punished her brother Bhaal for creating the creatures of mankind. Solaine, however, was fair and loving and she could not bring herself to punish her Brother Bhaal, for she saw the spark of loneliness in Bhaal eye that drove him to create man. Solaine knew with a desperate resolve that she could do nothing to Bhaal. It was then the Eidolons truly turned on Solaine. They attacked her during the meeting all at once the creatures launched themselves at the Goddess if it was not for the quick defence of Rena and the cunning of Bhaal Solaine would not have escaped. She instead left the meeting with a cut to her arm that was said to have bled into Luna.
