Othea (Dead)

Othea was a goddess and wife to Annam All-Father, bearing his children who would become the origin of the giant race. She would later claim the cold vast plains with her son Lanaxis, until her death by his hands.

Relationships

Othea was the wife of Annam All-Father. Her sons were Lanaxis, Arno and Julian, Masud, Nicias, Obadai, Ottar, Ruk, Vilmos, and Dunmore. The last of which was initially believed to be the son of Annam, but was later believed to be the result of Othea's affairs with the sea god Ulutiu. She also gave birth to at least five unnamed sons from affairs outside her marriage to Annam that resulted in the ogre races and the four giant-kin races.

History

Othea was unfaithful to Annam, her husband. Circa −26,000 DR, she had an affair with Vaprak, resulting in the ogre race, and then c. −25,500 DR she had an affair with Ulutiu, shortly before the end of the giant war against the dragons, resulting in four sons, (one of which being Dunmore): firbolg, fomorian, verbeeg, and voadkyn. Annam slew Ulutiu and hurled him into the Cold Sea. Othea was so upset by this that she refused to give Annam another child, but Annam tricked her to get her pregnant. They reached a compromise where Annam agreed to leave Abeir-Toril until the child called for him, in return Othea would not terminate the pregnancy.

Othea was poisoned by her son, Lanaxis, when she refused to let him save his citadel of Voninheim. Before she died, she cursed him, causing him to flee to Arborea. Her unborn son Hartkiller managed to survive.
