Characteristics
Physical features
Merithra is green, like her mother, her skin resembling an emerald, smooth and partially transparent. Her physical form is ghostly, ethereal, like watching a living dream or vision. She prefers her realm of dream, a place where all living beings go when dreaming. It is a place where sentient beings have dreams of hope, and faith for a better tomorrow.
There are only a few recorded moments in history where Merithra has opened her eyes since she became a goddess. When she does, a person can see the eyes of many colors, like a rainbow. The eyes of every sentient creature can be seen at once through her eyes.
Abilities
From this realm, Merithra can observe all lesser races. Her eyes are always closed, although you can see her pupils move constantly below her eyelids as if watching many dreams at once.
Merithra can assume the form she wishes, but rarely bother to shapeshift or visit the mortals in person. Instead, she travels from mind to mind, going anywhere she wishes by entering the dreams of any living being sleeping. She may enter the dreams of a target to communicate with or warn the sleeping creature. Merithra has the ability to planeshift between the material plane, and the plane of Dream.
History
The emerald
Dragon Merithra of the Dream is a child of the Dragon goddess
Ysera.
The
Draco-Giant War raged in the
Wasted cliff, yet many dragons and
Giants from distant regions refused to engage, deeming their involvement unnecessary in what they viewed as a trivial dispute over mere resources.
The situation of the war took a dramatic turn when two renowned dragons fell into the clutches of the giants.
Caelestrasz, and Merithra, demi-gods and children of the dragon gods who had saved their kin on numerous occasions, were captured.
Both were cursed, and Merithra suffered a curse of eternal slumber. After years of this eternal slumber, where the giants realized the dragon demi-god was impossible to kill, her godly power awakening and growing stronger each day protecting her, Merithra was rising, in her dream to godhood, becoming the god of dream.
Prior to this event,
Alexstrasza, and Ysera had abstained from involvement in the conflict, deeming it a wasteful expenditure of dragon lives. However, with their offspring abducted, they called upon their fellow dragons to join them in the fight.
This pivotal moment shifted the balance of the war, drawing nearly all dragons into the fray, even prompting direct intervention from the dragon gods themselves.
Upon learning of Merithra's curse of eternal slumber bestowed upon her by the giants,
Kueli, a friend of her mother attempted to reach Merithra in her dreams through magical means. After years of effort, Kueli successfully contacted her. She imparted upon Merithra everything she knew about sleep and dream-altering magic, lessons that later aided Merithra in ascending to godhood.
But this had taken a heavy toll on Kueli, who fell into a deep slumber for centuries after the war. Merithra watched over her, crafting dreams of joy and peacefulness to aid her mentor.
