Eleshandra
Eldest child of Valatau and Raziel as one of the few Aurin born after the great war for the planes, and the brutal struggle against the great mistake. Eleshandra bears none of the great scars that many that other gods carry. To some she is an upstart to others she is beacon of what should and could have been. Generous, optimistic and honorable, she has given her life to protect those who would give themselves to others, to empower those who would lay their lives for others, and to make her sacred sites bastions for the weak. For in her veins flow the blood of war gods, and the great anger of her mother, and the totalitarian will of her father. But she always sought another life, inspired by her uncle Sagaron she sought to eschew the traits she were born with, to use her anger as a tool and passion to protect the world others had fallen for. She deemed that the only way to honour her fallen grandmother and the ancestry of her lineage was to preserve what they had struggle for, thus she would be a god of peace and valiant defiance preaching to her followers that no god deeds ever came from fighting for anything, but from protecting your home, your country against those who would harm it, but also to learn to move on from such conflict to live a good life, one must do more than to live for others, one must also live for oneself.
