Ardalea the Primordial Flame

General Description

Ardalea, the primordial goddess of fire, honesty, and truth, is renowned for her pacifistic and, above all, diplomatic nature. She serves as a mediator among the gods, adeptly managing discussions and conflicts, symbolizing the embodiment of diplomacy in divine matters.

Personal History

Ardalea, as a primordial goddess of fire, emerged from the essence of the elemental plane of fire with the purpose of tending to this element in the material plane named Gretaria. Due to this connection, it is believed to be easy for Ardalea to open the gates between this plane and the elemental plane of fire. Over time, she perceived the harm caused by the primordial war among the gods and different elemental planes. Acting as a mediator, she brought about the first great era of peace among the gods, isolating Gretaria from the dominion of the elemental planes. Due to this fact, she is an esteemed goddess and respected among other deities.
Despite being the goddess responsible for the destructive force of fire, she adheres to restraint, believing that conflict should only be used when no other solutions are in sight.
