Demosia

Demosia was once counted among the ranks of the Deros, the monstrous Titans that set themselves against the Atlantean Gods. An avatar of the moon, she held an ancient grudge against Aeva for their creation of time, which cursed Demosia to an existence of constant mutability and change between phases. She fled deep beneath the World so night might never come, cursing Atlantis to an endless day beneath the blistering sun. Badarus plumbed the World’s depths to parley with her, promising marriage to his son Kuros in exchange for peace. Seven times Demosia refused him, but finally, when Kuros himself appealed to her, the God’s sincerity and beauty drew forth Demosia’s smile. She returned night to the World and married into the Teros, a Titan no longer.

Demosia is the queen of night, retiring from Atlantis to a palace of jade and onyx upon the moon each night to listen to the World’s secrets. She keeps her favorite ones locked away in a talisman that hangs from her neck, and Atlanteans pray to her to safeguard their secrets and privacy — which also makes her the divine patron of cryptography and cloaking technology. She retains her ferocious temper and reveals the shameful skeletons in the closets of God and mortal alike when spurred to anger. She sends Incarnations across the World to act as a thousand eyes and ears, finding positions in which they’ll be privy to the choicest secrets, such as intelligence agents, gossip columnists, archaeologists, and corporate lawyers.

Demosia has Born Scions with both Kuros and mortals across the World. Her Scions are drawn to lives of subterfuge and secrecy, whether as idealistic hacktivists, government intelligence agents, private investigators, or high society gossipmongers. Others throw themselves into vocations where they can hide their true selves: actors, masked wrestlers, spies, or costumed vigilantes protecting the streets.
