Description
Ejderha "the Merciful"
According to Myth
Ejderha was created by the gods to be the protector of all mortal kind. It was she who gave rise to the Dragons. It was she who gave mortal kind their guardians. Each settlement was given a dragon go guard it. Each dragon was to protect the city with it's life and all the people had to give the dragon, was food. However the Dragon Queen had become corrupted by some... dark energy. Something that the Gods had never experienced before. The more mortal settlements that had her children guarding them the closer and closer she came to realizing that she could have extorted the Mortals into becoming their servants. She had become consumed with greed and a hatred for mortal kind unlike any the world had ever seen! Soon the dragons were attacking the cities that they had been protecting, and enslaving what mortals there were left! However, Qinarius the god of Law and Justice, saw this phenomenon and decided to put a stop to it. He, and all of the other gods, banded together and banished Ejderha and her kind into the Netherworld, never to be seen or heard from again.
According to the Cult
"It was Ejderha who was created by the gods to protect us! To give us life! It was from her womb, HERS, that we sprang from. She, the goddess of mercy and protection! She who uses the MOUNTAINS as her thrones! She was banished, BANISHED, by her creators simply because she did what she thought was right! She was protecting us! Protecting us from the false prophets... the false testimony of the other gods! It is she who is the true bringer of life and justice! It is she who deserves to rule over the mortal realms not those False gods who stand idly by and simply allow us to destroy their world! Rise! RISE UP my brothers and sisters and give praise to Ejderha the Loving... The Merciful!" -- The Dark Priest Kotuluk, Leader of the Cult of Ejderha.
