The Nameless Goddess

? (a.k.a. The Jailer, The Silent One, The Silent Singer)

She who holds the world together as the Child slumbers.   Her domain is only sleeping. Her power must be great, for Vyaelian remains and has remained for thousands of years, yet her voice is silent. Perhaps that is all she has power for these days?   Most people have stories of how their world was created, but Vyaelian was not so much created as it was salvaged, barely, from a long forgotten doomed place the tantrums of the child had torn asunder. There were depictions of her once, the nameless goddess who gave of herself to soothe him into slumber. They hung in many a ruin too grand a target to be left upright. By the time the wilds and darkness and fiends were felled and repelled, and the great kingdoms of Vyra and Alin and June stood tall, little iconography of her remained.   She has no clergy, at least not any more. And those who call to her, or try as her name has been forgotten, seem to hear no reply. Her last decree to those who did worship her was for those faithful clerics to lull the Child to sleeping, to keep him safe from the evils that came to cause pain.   A difficult task, given that the haphazard world of Vyaelian was isolated, and completely dark, without sunlight or moonlight or starlight.   A difficult task, to ward off fears, when the world itself was dying at it's start.   Perhaps that is why we chose to forget her name? It seemed in the beginning that she had doomed us all. After all, she did not merely spirit the Child away, but whole towns and cities of people, whole mountains, whole forests, and worse still, half towns and half cities, half mountains, half forests, trees split down the middle, into this place, this prison, wedged between the spheres. Nearly impossible to escape, nearly impossible to find by choice... a prison for souls mortal and divine. And with us came monsters and fiends and terrors in the dark. So we cowered and crowded around tall burning fires, as she remained silent and slept.   Still, it is so strange for the name of someone so pivotal in the course of history to be so entirely eradicated. There are rumours that the acolytes of the Child may know her name but, even if they do know it, they have never spoken it aloud.
