Biography

Pre-Ascension (The Gigadragonomy)

After the Sun & Moon Wars, Dahli enacted the Moon Elf Genocide with such ferocity that it nearly wiped out the whole subrace. The Moon Elves on Dalterra & pre-named Cyregnor that escaped by tunneling deep underground became Dark Elves; the only tribe of Dalterran Moon Elves that escaped death without doing this did so by nomadically wandering the whole world. This tribe is the one that would eventually spawn prominent Moon Elves like Avernion, Gaelica, Zalcophet, & Zaelim.
Meanwhile, Cyregnorian Moon Elves that didn’t retreat underground holed up in arctic fortresses, which saw occasional bombardments by Dahli until she preoccupied herself with other matters. These elves evolved to become the first Frost Elves, adapted to handle extreme cold while maintaining a strong connection to the Daidrin Gaioforce & cold magic. They defended themselves by constructing powerful ice domes over their cities and constantly fueling its magic. Despite this connection, the new crater of the Daidrin Gaiostone proved uninhabitable; not because of the stone, but because of Dahli’s constant solar bombardments whenever a group attempted to settle there. Regardless, most Frost Elf civilization at the time was settled in the top leftmost regions of Cyregnor, ranging from days to weeks travel between them and the prize.
Early in the Gigadragonomy, Denothis sired Cyr with a Frost Elf woman in Fraeskovia, the oldest of the fortified Frost Elf city-states that survived the Divine Wars. She became a master of the Daidrin Gaioforce and an exceptional warrior amongst her people. Rather than bring an entourage, Cyr travelled to the crash site alone, slaying powerful beasts both living & undead beasts. It’s theorized that she hid hid her presence from Dahli with a powerful Divine Darkness spell. The Gaiostone had caused a crater impact with extreme force, then created a localized singularity to pull the hurtling rubble back in. The result was a large plateau of ice & rock infused with the Daidrin Gaioforce, with the stone at the center before hundreds of weaving caverns. The pitch tunnels riddled Cyr’s soul & body with concentrated dark energy, but instead of corrupting her into death, it pushed her to her divine potential & gave her devilish features (the first tiefling). Cyr reached the Daidrin Gaiostone frozen to the center of a pitch black room. The stone pulsed dark energy into the icy veins of the gravitational structure, while also keeping its unstable gravitational forces somewhat contained. Cyr used her magic to forge an incredibly dense ice Glaive around the Daidrin Gaiostone, absorbing the ice from the frozen bubble around it to the beginning of the wall. The weapon was dubbed Caerocla (Cyr’s Claw) in legend, as she wielded it to transform the plateau into a grand metropolis of ice. She named her arctic utopia Cyrofel, and reworked the Gaioforce enchantments to draw power from the stone through Daidrin leylines, allowing her city to fly, generate the ice dome, and maintain much of its other power whether it was placed in its core or not. She teleported the city to Fraeskovia to prove her victory to her people.
When she arrived at Fraeskovia, the city was under siege by Frost Dragons who had learned to empower their cold magic with a unique form of fire, melting through the ice domes the city built for protection. Her city was nearly destroyed or added to the Drake Oligarchy, were it not for Cyr’s intervention. She used the Gaiostone to fight back against the dragons, as her shields held against the dragons’ magic. With her help, the city turned the tide and either captured, killed, or drove off the Frostfire Dragon army. Cyr was lauded as a divine hero and joined in Cyrofel by many of the survivors. However, feeling more devilish in her transformation, Cyr imposed order, only allowing the stronger (metaphorically, physically, all meanings) half of Fraeskovia to join her on her liberation of the other cities while the other were to hold their current one “to the end of all days”.
Cyr liberated most of the Frost Elf strongholds before they fell completely to the giants & dragons; entire populations devoured by their oppressors. She filled Cyrofel with the most worthy of each city, then engaged in a bloody war to conquer her home continent. It is theorized that all but 4 of the Frost Elf bastions survived the war, doing so in strong worship to Cyr, earning her nicknames such as "the Savior Queen”. Eventually, while the latter was floating by the former,, Fraeskovia & Cyrofel were simultaneously attacked by a Frost Giant/enslaved dragon force led by Sthogurd, Giant god of the Tundras. Cyr raged in battle with Sthogurd for years, tiring but never falling, all while Cyrofel & Fraeskovia held against the armies until their numbers drank drastically. The giants had no more dragons and had rushed so faithfully to the war front in the year, they had lost 40% of their Cyregnorian population. As the dragons decimated or enslaved the remaining giants across Cyregnor, their faith in Sthogurd dwindled until they abandoned the cause during his battle with Cyr. Cyr had been using her dark energy to slowly drain the divinity of Sthogurd into herself as his people denounced him, literally stripping him of divinity and taking it for herself. Then, in front his last Frost Giant followers, Cyr injected a condensed black hole into the giant god’s chest, shielded herself & both cities, then detonated the singularity in reverse, obliterating the deity and his remaining following with him. This act of simultaneously killing a god and his entire following earned her a new power over death, but Denothis wanted more before she could fully ascend; she needed to kill Torashan the Cold Empress and subjugate all of Cyregnor.
Unlike the other Ascension Gods, who drove their Wyrmking oppressors to the continent of Vulsemar before killing them, Cyr took Cyrofel on a bloody war path to the heart of Frost Dragon territory; the Naervithone Mountains at the North Pole, where Torashan the Cold Empress had made her nest. Cyrofel engaged (and nealy fell to) Torashan's army of Frost Dragons, wyverns, drakes & dragonborn, while Cyr engaged the Wyrmking in the climax of the First Tundra War (conflict name within the Gigadragonomy). Their battle altered the entire landscape; glaicer-sized spikes of ice & rock protruded from the surface of the North Pole as they both summoned these to kill each other, while giant rifts in the ice/land formed as a result of their power. Finally, Cyr gained the upper hand against the Cold Empress, leading her to desperate measures. The Cold Empress tried to eat Cyr, but the devilish woman drove her to desperation for this very reason. As soon as Torashan's jaws clamped down, Cyr teleported to the center of the Wyrmking, then created a singularity around herself & Torashan. She sent the battered Cyrofel far enough away to witness, but not be pulled in. The entirety of Torashan's dragons & dragonborn were sucked into it, leaving a dense ball of Torashan, arctic & draconic mass at the peak of the Nairvithone Mountains. Finally, she released a detonation that would span over all of Cyregnor, destroying Torashan & creating the Everstorm that rages over most of her continent to this day. The explosion also shattered the tops of the mountains and pushed the bases farther out, conveniently creating a seat for Cyrofel to eventually rest upon when not travelling. When Cyrofel teleported back to the detonation site, they witnessed Cyr reforming in the Eye of the Storm, having mastered death by slaying a god and near-divine entity with her power & the Daidrin Gaiostone. She reformed from the swirling ice of the storm and ascended to her divine form, bearing her Frost Elf appearance with mostly devilish features (horns that resembled a crown, wings, etc.) Thus, Cyr the Frost Maiden was reborn, god of Death & Winter.

The Modern Era

Some stuff happened. Rules Darthalheim & ruled Cyregnor prior to the Divine Wars.

Pantheon

Danos, The Crawling End

• Devil God of Dark Elves, Soul Collection, Undeath, caverns, the Underdark. Born of Cyr & a Dark Elf father.
• The Denowraiths that patrol the Astral Fog & Ethereal Plane in search of wandering mortal souls report to Danos. As the ultimate collector of souls, Danos has strong control over the Grand Soul Exchange (massive marketplace for devils & other traders of souls, dark energy & similar resources), and acts as the Treasury of Souls. Danos also trades souls to ??? for raw dark energy, which he trades out to necromancers in exchange for their soul (after death) or some other price.
• Danos grants undeath by spreading dark energy throughout the mortal plane. Necromancers not attuned to the Gaiofore can channel this force as Negative Energy to command the powers of undeath. Stronger necromancy spells, like the Rites of Vampirism, Mummy Lords, Liches, Dracoliches, Death Knights, and other powerful undead are often kept closely by Danos, who can offer them to mortal necromancers in exchange for his devilish bargains.
• Danos appears as a skeletal centipede with an uncanny face between the four shadowy mandibles, which can suck the soul out of anything he graspes.

Inihl, The Void Weaver

• Devil God (genderless) of the Void.
• Slowly draws all will-less souls from the Underworld to the Void Gate, which are usually picked off by devils & soul predators before they get there. Inihl converts all soul remnants that make it to the gate into raw, dark energy. This dark energy is usually released into the Void via the Void Gate (last divine piece of Denothis). However, as the largest holder of dark energy (Treasury of Dark Energy), Inihl often trades this commodity to Danos & other deities in exchange for completed souls. Inihl has a strict, cosmic code to not trade dark energy to non-deities, as it would cause imbalance from the dark energy Inihl releases into the universe.

Sorlaei, The Fatemother

• Devil Goddess of Natural Death & Fate. 

• Unlike the other death deities, the Fatemother has no direct influence over soul collection (Danos) or dark energy conversion (Inihl). Instead, she oversees all causes of natural death (disease, old age, the environment, etc.) and keeps things in balance. She also governs those who partake in fate-defying magic (resurrection & genocidal spells). When one partakes in a spell that resurrects the dead (reunites a mortal soul with a new/existing body) or a spell that would destroy an undue amount of living creatures, she appears to them in a vision, giving her plenty of time to warn the caster of the consequences to their actions. If they choose to pursue, she will imbue a price (or curse) on the soul of whoever casts the spell, which will become due based on her terms.
