In depictions, she carries galaxies in each hand.   Upon her brow, Mephia bears two great horns, resembling celestial arcs reaching towards the heavens.

The Mysterium Mephoses

The Mysterium Mephoses, meaning the Mysteries of Mephoses in the language of the dragons, is a legendary and revered artifact of immense power and unfathomable knowledge. This mythical text is said to contain the secrets of the cosmos, the hidden truths of the universe, and the deepest recesses of every mortal heart.   The artifact itself is a tome of profound significance, its cover crafted from celestial materials that seem to shimmer and shift with otherworldly energy. Bound in exquisite leather that has taken on an ethereal hue, the book emanates an aura of enigmatic power, drawing the curious and the seekers of wisdom.   Each page within the Mysterium Mephoses is a gateway to boundless knowledge. The parchment appears to be forged from celestial fabric, imprinted with intricate, swirling patterns reminiscent of constellations. The text, written in an ancient elven script, glows with a soft, ethereal light, making it legible even in the darkest of chambers.   Legend has it that even a single page of the Mysterium Mephoses contains a wealth of knowledge beyond mortal comprehension. It is said that reading a single sentence from this sacred text grants the reader insight equivalent to the vast expanse of the ocean, with each word a drop of profound enlightenment.   However, the immense power contained within the Mysterium Mephoses comes with a great risk. The revelations and truths unveiled by the text can overwhelm the mortal mind, driving some to madness or despair. The knowledge it imparts is not easily grasped or comprehended, and its mysteries often leave those who delve into its pages forever changed.   The artifact is rarely seen in the mortal realm, for it is said to be safely guarded in a realm of its own, a celestial library where the boundaries of time and space blur. Access to this sanctum is known only to a select few, chosen by Mephia herself or by the workings of fate.   Legends persist of those who have dedicated their lives to obtaining even a glimpse of the Mysterium Mephoses. Scholars, sages, and seekers of wisdom have sought after this divine artifact, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a desire to unlock the cosmic truths hidden within its pages.   The Mysterium Mephoses, the repository of the Mysteries of Mephia, remains an elusive and revered artifact, its existence whispered among the most learned circles and coveted by those who hunger for enlightenment.
