Phaedra
Relationships
History
Phaedra worked under Falhorn thousands of years ago when they, on the home world of Faeries and Demons, created a portal to escape the war between the two races. They managed to disguise the portal as a potential weapon of war as well as a way to safely store refugees and civilians away from the war to gain funding from the various Faerie courts. She quickly became noticed by Falhorn for her similar ideals and her bright mind, and this in turn made her form a good friendship with Falhorn. Unknown to them, the demons also had begun their own project with the help of spies embedded in their own portal project. When they were successful, they showed their true colors to their warmongering councils and used the portal to take themselves, all of their coworkers who shared the same desires to escape the war, and any innocents willing to go with them into a new world. Their device malfunctioned, taking more than just the willing participants, and at random sent them to Nielea. There, Falhorn realized they needed leadership, and took on the role of Lord of the Faeries with the agreement of many of the faeries that came with him. Eventually, they realized that the demons had succeeded in doing the same as they had did to escape their world, and Falhorn felted cheated and jealous of their feat. With these emotions, and a residual hatred of demons, fueling him- he tricked the races of Nielea into waging a genocidal war against demons. Phaedra hated this decision, knowing fully well why he chose this path. She saw this as repeating their past that they tried to escape, and quickly left her kin's lands to find her own place in the world away from the warring. And then, she became a goddess. She confided in Dhakors about the truth of the war, and where demons and faeries came from. So when it finally came to Falhorn's death, he was faced with the threat of eternal punishment for the genocide he had commited. But Phaedra had grown to pity him- and asked Dhakors to make a deal with him. And so, Dhakors created the Ankou, requiring Falhorn to serve 10,000 years under him until he could be granted an afterlife.
Relationship Reasoning
Phaedra has since mostly forgiven Falhorn for betraying their shared goal to leave the war their kind had with demons behind. And Falhorn feels in debit to Phaedra for telling Dhakors to give him a second chance. Because of this, their relationship is strained, but on decent terms
