Gaia

Gaia is the Earth and related Realms, in both a physical and a spiritual sense; the Mother Goddess of all living things. Gaia is greater than a Celestine, and one of the most powerful spirits known to exist – possibly the first, and most powerful. She is credited with creating most of the Fera to serve as her warriors and agents both in the material and Spirit worlds. Her relation to the being many, both mortal and otherwise, credit with the creation (the abrahamic God, most commonly) of the cosmos and life itself is unknown. Opinions differ over her exact relationship to The Triat (some say she created them, others the opposite), but she clearly has ties to Helios and Luna. While some generally see her as a spiritual representation of the planet Earth, Fera and others often think of her as the entire cosmos, with the planet as just her most important and vital aspect. As is the case with other spirits of God-like power, Gaia is almost never encountered directly; instead she communicates with her children and other supplicants via minor spirits under her command. She has many aspects and is known by a variety of names; these include the Emerald Mother, the guise in which she is known to the shen of the Middle Kingdom.
