Ruana, The Enduring One

Pronouns: She/Her

Domains: Arcana, Life

Symbols: In the very beginning, Ruana was alone, drifting through time and space. Her form was entirely made of essence, with which she drew her vast power. Seeking companionship, she created Kaidos. For a vast amount of time, they roamed together. Kaidos showed great aptitude for creation himself and through their time together, he crafted impressive, massive celestial bodies while Ruana peppered the sky with blips of essence that would be eventually known as stars.

Eventually, Kaidos created his most impressive planet, Ruterra. Noticing this great feat, Ruana decided to populate Kaidos' masterpiece with life derived directly from her own essence. This harmonious land that they created together was now their new homeland.

Despite the impressive landscape that was able to sustain life, the planet was widely unstable and Kaidos was asked to maintain order in the center of the earth. During his time there, Ruana would come to realize that her creations would all eventually die, unlike her and Kaidos. Upon this discovery, Ruana then prevented any lifeforms from dying, taking a great amount of her own essence to do so.

Kaidos' jealousy and disdain for humanoids destroying his creation for their own gain eventually reached its boiling point and Kaidos would come to lead a war against Ruana.

The violent war between gods ended with Ruana sacrificing herself to sever the connection between the gods and the material plane. She now stands as a symbol for freedom of the gods, life, and magic. She is known as the enduring one to symbolize not only her great sacrifice, but also to signify that though she is gone, her creation and impact on Ruterra lives on.
