Morpheous

When Kron the Father of Creation created the world after he finished he started to fill it with life. The first thing he added before life or his own children was knowledge so his children could rule over all things on the planet with out him having to do to much. For this task he created Morpheous his firstborn and His daughter he gifted her with more knowledge and power then his other children. One Morpheous was created he created his other children, and a family of his own. He then populated the world with animals and beasts plant life and much more. The world was still devoid of anything he felt useful so he created man using the knowledge he gave morpheous he gave man a very small portion of this creating an intelegant life form. Over the Many years Man became one of the most abundant types of life on the planet, however some gods and goddess created their own races to worship them and do their bidding. Most of the gods and Goddesses were not liked because of their cruelty to the humans as they liked to expirment and control the humans for their own bidding exept Morpheous. She was on the of the few gods the humans would worship she protected them many times from the spite of the other gods who didn’t want much do to do with them exept to kill them.

Morpheous as well as several other gods and goddesses knew that the humans were a good source of worshipers and followers since they were good at just about anything making them a balanced people. This was the cause of many fueds between gods because they couldn’t stand seeing the humans worship another god. This caused many wars between the gods they would use the humans that followed them as well as other creatures of their design. These wars would be very cruel on the humans as many of them would die from them just to please the gods. When captured by another gods forces they would tend to be experimented on to create new beings and living weapons of war for the gods and goddesses. These wars however were nothing in Comparison of the War of the Gods, These were just skirmishes in comparison. The War of the gods was a war where the entire world was at war for their god. Every god was at war with one another. During the First War of the Gods Morpheous, was heavily involved but relized this was no way for the mortals to live happilly she started planning during this period spending her time to study many of her ancient books.

Morpheous was mostly a servant of Kron at this time, He Would never let her do anything with out telling him first and gaining his approval yet she did many things behind his back. When he decreed that the gods would cease their influence in the world and return to the heavens where he could watch them. Morpheous spend most of her time learning and growing strong, and when the gods came to her and asked for her help she was all to happy to help them destroy Kron for her own freedom. She Learned that creation magic the power which Kron uses and draws on could destroy him or at least bind him. She used this power and forged a sword using her own blood to purify the blade to bind the magic to it. She later Snuck into his Chambers and slaughtered him showing a dark mean side of herself. As she displayed his Godly Remains In many of the larger mortal citys.

Morpheous was still the favored goddess of the Humans despite her occisional acts of cruelty which she used in order to protect her followers from the acts of the other gods. Even during the long period of peace that followed her fathers death she did not trust her fellow gods and continued to study and research behind their backs with out them knowing. She studied every book in her private library going through each one several times learning how to change some of her followers into powerful Magic Users as well as the Symbol of her power. These were the best of her worhipers that spend long years training for the honor of being her Preists and her Warriors. These warriors were her best kept secret as they started as a Secret Cult by her. When the Council of the Gods began to fall apart slowly she knew the time was at hand to use these warriors to protect her land. She Named them the Magi who were loyal to only her.

Through out her life morpheous was looking for somthing she lacked.. Someone to love. She had some flings with many of the gods but they never worked out as none of them trusted her and she didnt trust them enough for a pure relationship to form. They feared her Ability to kill fellow gods with her sword the one she used to kill her father even her closes brothers and sister. This hurt her deeply when her closes friends and family avoided her becuase of her ability to destroy them. Shortly before the Council of the Gods parted ways Morpheous forsaw what was in the future and Declaired her self the surpreme goddess rulling over all other gods. This not only cause the council to shatter it started the Second War of the gods.
