Mental characteristics
Personal history
Following the Battle with Mazerath, Zefer split her time between her Celestial Duties and the Mortal Realm, allowing her Heavenly Host to do so as well. Nearly all of her time was spent in the Newly founded Nation of Dragonholme, where her spouses resided. While her children went their own ways they returned to see their mother frequently, often sharing new tales of their own adventures and the lands following the Renewal of Almura.
Her life continued on in much the same way until the Gods of Heaven from Golarion began to intrude on Mount Celestia's Sovereignty. When her Brother, Ari Ashdew, was near Fatally Wounded by Iomedae in an arguement, Zefer did battle with the Goddess alone and brought the Inheritor to her knees, her blade only stayed by the words of her friend, The Goddess Klexia Andronas. (It is believed that Pharasma persuaded Klexia's intervention as the Goddess of Knowledge has had an antagonistic relationship with Iomedae since she arrived in Almura) Following this incident, Zefer remained within Celestia far more than she had previously. But unwilling to leave her loved ones within the Mortal Realm, Zefer enlisted her fellow Archangel Earavos to devise a way to allow her family to freely come and go as they pleased. Within the year Earavos had crafted a means to allow her family to freely traverse the realm of Celestia.
The relationship between Heaven and Celestia has remained mostly amicable in the time since, thanks in part to efforts by Cian Lamplier to ease tensions as the Obsidian Ape would rather not deal with a war between the Celestial Realms. However Zefer and Iomedae have been in indirect conflict since. Zefer does not maintain any form of Formal following, just a loose collection of those she bestows power upon when they have need or impress her. Iomedae's followers have been known to impede or disrupt the goals of Zefer's followers, though they do not go so far as to resort to violence. Notably the Goddess Milani, Iomedae's Sworn Sister, has sided with Zefer in this matter, aiding the Archangels when neccessary.
Once Ari had fully recovered from his injury the Archangels he declared that Celestia would remain entirely independent of Heaven, upsetting many of the Gods within Heaven immensely. The Archangels have continued their duties in defending the Mortal Realms from the Lower Planes but now contend with occasional incursions of the Celestial Denizens of Heaven as well. A handful of deities of Heaven, The Dwarven God Torag chief among them, have continued to work with Celestia despite the feud and this has further incensed Iomedae, though she would not retaliate against her own.
