Umunairu

Goddess of the storm, Goddess of the couatl

Umunairu is a celestial, serpentine being with lustrous feathers and delicate wings. She embodies the beauty and power of a storm, resembling phenomena like lightning, auroras, and rainbows.
Her mind is fragmented, leading to conflicting motives and complex decisions. This instability reflects her divided spirit.
Umunairu wields the power of storms, calling lightning and commanding winds in battle. She isolates enemies to crush or hurl them onto jagged peaks. When overwhelmed, she retreats into storm clouds to evade pursuit.
Once the unmatched Goddess of the Storm, Umunairu sacrificed herself during the Dawn War by splitting her soul to create the first couatl. These celestial serpents became her enduring legacy and key warriors against the primordials. Though her physical form was shattered, her fragmented spirit persists, ensuring her influence endures.

History

Long before the mortal races walked the earth, Umunairu was a goddess of the storm, her majesty unmatched among her divine kin. She ruled the tempestuous skies, her domain embodying freedom, power, and unbridled chaos. When the primordials rose to war against the gods, their fury threatened to unravel the fledgling order of creation. The gods knew they needed champions to turn the tide of this celestial conflict.
It was Umunairu who made the ultimate sacrifice. Seeing the desperate need for warriors to combat the primordial onslaught, she chose to split her soul into countless fragments, birthing the first couatl. Each couatl bore a piece of her essence, imbued with her divine might. These celestial serpents were living embodiments of Umunairu’s will.
The act of creation shattered Umunairu’s corporeal form, leaving her no longer whole. This division was akin to death, yet her sacrifice elevated her further. As long as a single couatl remained, Umunairu's soul would endure, her fragmented spirit persisting across the planes.
The couatl became a cornerstone of the gods’ army. Fighting alongside Sardior, the first dragon, and other divine champions, they helped turn the tide against the primordials.
