Morweneth
General Overview
Morweneth, the embodiment of nightmares and decay, stands as one of the most feared and powerful of the forsaken gods. Revered by those who crave power and shunned by others, she spreads her influence through corruption, fear, and shadow. Her power emanates from Morrith, a dark domain that spills its influence into neighboring planes, including the Territhia and dream planes. This seepage manifests as the Everblight, a creeping, corruptive force that poisons reality and dreams alike.Appearance
Morweneth is depicted as an imposing and sinister figure, embodying the essence of fear and decay. Her long, dark hair cascades around her, framing eyes that shimmer like dark pools of endless night, reflecting nightmares and hidden terrors. Her skin, pale and almost luminescent, contrasts sharply with the dark, tattered robes she wears, which seem to shift and writhe with shadowy forms. Some say that when she appears in visions, the air grows cold, and an unnatural stillness blankets the area, silencing even the bravest of souls.Influence and Legacy
Morweneth’s influence reaches into the deepest recesses of Territhia, seeping into the mortal realm and dreamscapes through the plane of Morrith, her dark dominion. Her power manifests in twisted, shadowy creatures, haunting dreams, and the ominous spreading of the Everblight, a corrupted expanse that serves as a physical reminder of her presence. Those who dare to invoke her name often seek power through fear and manipulation, believing that by serving her, they can wield her corruption for their own ends. Yet, Morweneth’s gifts always come at a price, for she is cunning and delights in twisting the desires of those who bargain with her.Followers and Worship
While Morweneth does not have open temples dedicated to her in Elyndor or other realms of Territhia, her worship thrives in secret, hidden among cults and shadowy cabals. Her followers are drawn to her promise of power, using rituals steeped in darkness to summon her favor or to spread her influence. Worship often involves acts of sacrifice, binding nightmares to reality, and seeking to harness her corruptive powers to further their own dark ambitions. Those devoted to Morweneth learn to embrace their deepest fears, finding strength in their surrender to her influence.Divine Domains

Morweneth possesses an ethereal and commanding presence, with a tall and slender frame draped in robes that seem to flow and shift as though woven from shadows themselves. Her skin is unnaturally smooth and pale, giving her an almost ghostly appearance. The hems of her dark garments are adorned with intricate, shifting patterns that resemble twisted, arcane symbols, which subtly pulse as if alive with dark magic. Her movements are graceful but deliberate, exuding an aura of both elegance and menace.
Facial Features
Her face is strikingly beautiful yet deeply unsettling. Morweneth has high cheekbones and a sharp jawline that accentuate her regal, almost statuesque appearance. Her eyes are a dark, stormy grey that glisten with malevolent energy, capable of holding a gaze that penetrates and chills to the bone. Her lips are thin and usually curled into a knowing, sinister smile. Framing her face is a cascade of shadow-like hair that seems to flow and twist like living darkness, adding to the air of foreboding that surrounds her.
Identifying Characteristics
The most distinct feature of Morweneth is her eyes, which seem to shimmer with a dull, haunting light that reflects the essence of nightmares. Her robes, adorned with ever-changing dark patterns, are another notable aspect that sets her apart. These patterns seem to writhe subtly when she is present, as if feeding on the fear around her. Additionally, a faint, dark aura emanates from her form, making the air around her feel heavy and oppressive, adding to her unmistakable presence.

Personal history
Morweneth was once a revered goddess among the original 13, celebrated for her enigmatic allure and subtle guidance in the balance between dreams and reality. She was known to walk among mortals, weaving dreams that inspired and nurtured imagination. However, as the gods’ ambitions began to clash, Morweneth’s curiosity turned dark. Her desire to explore the deeper, shadowed corners of existence led her to embrace the power of nightmares and corruption. Fueled by the chaos during the War of the Shattering, she betrayed her celestial siblings and created Morrith, a realm that embodied her newfound dominion over fear and decay.
Her transformation marked a turning point in divine history, with the once-mysterious goddess now feared as the source of nightmares and shadowed corruption. From Morrith, Morweneth sought to extend her influence, letting the Everblight seep into the mortal realm and the dream plane. Her legacy became one of whispered fear, where even sleep offered no sanctuary from her reach. Despite her fall, she remains an influential and formidable presence, worshipped by those who crave power or seek to embrace the terror she sows.
