Morgana le Fay, Beholder of the Words Voyage & Flow
Learner of Names & Great Mage Equal to Heaven, Morgana Le'Mahieu le Fay- Coeling
Physical Description
Special abilities
User with this ability either is or can transform into a nymph (literally: young woman; bride, young wife), a female nature spirit typically associated with a particular location or landform or servants/retinue of a more powerful being, often a deity. They dwell in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, and also in trees and in valleys and cool grottoes. Although they would never die of old age or illness and could give birth to fully immortal children if mated to a god, they themselves were not necessarily immortal and could be beholden to death in various forms.
✦
Normally it is nature itself that gives birth to a nymph who is linked to a specific natural environment to be defended and preserved. This does not mean that the nymph cannot leave her environment but if one of the two is injured or damaged, the other will also suffer the effects, including death.
- Shapeshifting
✦
Users with greater degrees of control are more than likely capable of using their bodies by unpredictably functioning as a perpetually reconstructing all-purpose appliance and/or employing near-indomitable deception in their strategies. Assuming the identity of distinguished or unsuspecting subjects allows for easier access to prohibited areas, superior persuasion, and potent espionage, depending upon the user's power and skill to imitate likenesses.

Specialized Equipment
The MOR-G4N Frames
Morgana loved the Art of Golemancy and used it in combination with her proficiency in Science and Technology to construct robotic frames that resembled her for the purposes of surveillance, information gathering, aid in Majikal endeavors, and any other operation she needed that demanded absolute trust. She called them MOR-G4N Frames, each one possessing an artificial SOUL imprinted from Morgana's, allowing them to cast Majik on her level of power. These artificial SOULs were a work of technological marvel blessed with Majik, serving as an inexhaustible source of energy for the frames, and their Majik.
✦
The MOR-G4N frames were incredibly durable, armed to the teeth with all manner of offensive and defensive weaponry in the event that Majik did fail. They had an exact copy of all Morgana's memories and knowledge, downloaded from a Cloud database that she and all her frames were linked up to. This way, nothing new they learned, and she learned as well, and vice versa.
The Unyielding, Favor of Trials
A DAMASCUS steel athame is used in a ceremonial fashion by Morgana when she completes a spell or ritual. Such actions sealed in her blood via this blade are eternally binding, bound by the very power of Morgana's magic. While not impressive too especially powerful beings, such spells are unbreakable to lesser minions she employs to carry out her deeds.
The Urienimaus Dax
A long sword with an impressive number of enchantments embedded within its very molecular structure, refusing separation. The blade is well decorated and better meant for show than use. Morgana uses it to channel and boost her own Magical power and has only ever drawn it once to slay a student of her own making who sought to usurp her. The blade was gifted to her by her husband Prince Urien on the night they were betrothed, keeping with Rhygoedian marriage customs. He spent no less than serval small fortunes to create it and is a testament to his love and devotion.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Morgana is the 3rd daughter of Queen Ygraine, sired by the Skáld Gorlois of the Le'Mahieu Dynasty. She had eight sisters in total and is the most intellectual of them, pursuing all forms of Majik, Philosophy, Science, Alchemy, and Mathematics. Her intelligence is so wide and grasping that it is said to have rivaled that of Merlin, King Arthur's court Magician. Especially high praise considering Merlin was taught by Godwyn the All-Knowing himself.
Education
Morgana is a Master of Magic, having reached the title of Eight Arts Mage before the age of 200. Divination, Necromancy, Alchemy, Golemancy, Conjuration, Enchantment, Illusion, and Evocation, all 8 arts have been mastered to their highest level. Her Lord Father, King Gorlois, personally taught all his daughters everything he knew about Science, Technology, and Philosophy. And when she had exhausted him, she trained under Merlin, becoming his most successful student, and most dangerous adversary. From here she studied the texts of The Owlwyn Collective under the teachings of Frigg, Queen of the Æsir and made more than 100+ additions to the archives of The Academy of Tarus Abid.
Taboos
Morgana outlived her Lord Husband, King Urien, and has his preserved ivory bones respectfully adorned within her personal chambers. This is a custom of Avalon grieving.
Social
Reign
The House of Rhygoed
King Cynfarch Oer Coeling, Lord of House Coeling and ruler of the Rhygoed Kingdom, sired 3 mighty sons with his wife; Lothric, Arwan, and Urien Coeling. Near his death, the good king arranged for 3 marriages between his sons and three of the Maiden Daughters of Ygraine the Witch-Queen. Lady Morgause, the chosen Heir of Mother Superior Ygraine, needed a consort to succeed her mother, choosing the oldest of the sons, Lothric, as her Lord. The younger Mazoe picked Prince Arwan, if Lothric was wed to her sister, the throne would automatically fall for him and his consort. Lady Morgana was left with the youngest, Urien, without a shot at the throne.
✦
On the wedding night, before Prince Arwan was crowned, Urien spoke the words of challenge, invoking an old pact to fight for the throne. This typically involved an all-out declaration of war between heirs, but the brothers relegated their conflict to a contest of power. Lothric and Arwan both called forth six leal champion knights to fight with them, but Urien took no companions, only the promise to make Morgana his Queen-Consort before the suns set on this Realm. History is full of cowards and blunt stones, all chest puff and arrogance, yet who fail where the measure counts most in action. This is not one such time, nor was Prince Urien one such being. The events of the tournament were spoken of for ages to come, of how Urien the Great faced and bested 14 of the greatest warriors Rhygoed has ever seen, without aid. When the suns set, Urien, though bloody and beaten, rest upon the throne of Rhygoed. Queen Consort Morgana was wed to King Urien and bore her husband a daughter, Morfydd, and five sons, Ywain, Rhiwallon, Elffin, Rhun and Pasgen.
The Death of King Urien
During the Great War in Heaven, King Urien and his sons were primarily involved with the Dragon Knights and their operations. His heir and only daughter, Morfydd, completed her education in Avalon under her grandmother's teachings, and Lady Morgana was not yet tired from the war. She served with Merlin in an advisor and confidence role within King Arthur's court, valued for her impressive magic that threatened to rival her master. With both King and Queen so consumed with external affairs, many lesser Houses within their Kingdom took the opportunity to seize power for themselves. When Urien heard of this he returned to his Seat of Power, Inis Witrin, to reaffirm his position by force.
✦
After ruining a great many Houses, Urien celebrated, as he typically does after a grand victory. However, he was premature in his celebrations. The baron known as Morgan Bwlch came to plot on the great king. Morgan could not beat Urien in arms, he knew this and disguised himself as Urien's enchanting wife, Queen Morgana. Thinking his wife had come to bed with him, Urien was tricked and murdered with poison, dying slowly in a pool of his own innards. Queen Morgana wailed when she learned her husband was dead, not only killed but defeated with trickery and dishonor, staining their House and legacy. Morgana returned to her Kingdom in force with her sons and Arthur's Round Table and personally saw that Baron Morgan died a slower death 100 times more painful.
✦
Urien's death was a difficult time for Morgana, who was now the absolute monarch of Rhygoed. He was one of the few people in the cosmos who loved her unconditionally and he was taken from her. Queen Morgana took a more domestic approach to the war following Urien's death, primarily operating from Inis Witrin with her MOR-G4N Frames and network of spies and informants. Most of the Rhygoed military force was now led by her sons.
On the Death of Morgana's Sons
✦
Morgana was hysterical, she lost her husband and now her sons, and this war that took so much saw no end in sight. But what hurt the most was Mordred living and her sons dying. But she had no more tears left to weep and no more will to fight in the Great War. By imperial decree the Kingdom of Rhygoed ceased all connections with foreign parties and withdrew from the war, resorting to only defending their Realms. The loss of not only Arthur but also Morgana and her support somewhat crippled the Order moving forward.
Contacts & Relations
Queen Morgana enlists her own network of Black-Widows, Smugglers, and Informants, not all are bound to her by choice. Some are bound by fear and others by obligation. Nonetheless, her network is vast and her reach outside of her Kingdom, as well as within, is as impressive as it is threatening to her many, many, enemies.
