-Blevika's domains, rather than being viewed as separate entities as with many other Gods, tend to bleed into one another, forming a whole picture within their parts. In truth, while [[Kala]] is known as the God of Change, this aspect of him is largely scientific: the changing state of energy, of biological epochs, and other, similar things. Blevika is viewed by many mortals as the Goddess of Change, of a different kind; the changing eras of one's life, the changing state of society, the cyclical nature of rising power, Empire, collapse and decay, of old systems becoming fraught with corruption and abuse, only to be torn down by violent revolution.

 To this effect, Blevika's cycles of change begin with the corrosion of a social or political order, or the festering of tension, disarray or violence in interpersonal relationships. This phase proceeds into 'Destruction'; the devastation of that dynamic, the collapse of a society in a violent chorus of rage. Always, in the aftermath of destruction, opportunity for revitalization flourishes: Regrowth proceeds, a new and perhaps superior state of being coming into fruition on the foundations left by old ruins.

 When Blevika chose to join [[Venadak]] and the other [[Gods]], it was out of fear. She admired the Outsider for its peerless ability to cleanse and reforge reality, but did not view her time alive as an experience nearing its end. With great reluctance, she consigned herself to the rules of the pact her kin had formed, reserving her destructive impulses until the Gods deigned to unleash her might.
-And then, she lingered and observed, peering upon the world beneath her feet, her conscious mind projecting away from [[Muid]] to witness the chaos that reigned below. Blevika fulfilled her oath to Venadak with no shortage of unease, her hand oft gripping the pommel of her sword as she witnessed corruption, degenerative rhetoric and ideology, and structural decay. When she was finally given the chance to act upon her instincts, to cull the ruling order of the Unbroken Empire, Blevika followed the other Gods eagerly into battle, severing the head of Valen Dres herself.

 And like the others who swore to defend their own, she was imprisoned within [[Bel]], struck with corruption as the convergence of the planar boundaries ignited the world with cataclysm.

 Before the Gods were allies, Blevika considered them errant strangers, or even enemies. Born seething with prejudice and paranoia, any perceived betrayal would stoke her to violence, taking up arms against other Gods with an unfaltering fury. Alongside [[Malek]], Blevika was one of the few Adac innately capable of killing their kin, without the aide of technology. She would challenge her peers to duels that would last for years, rending the surfaces of planets as their raw energy stirred cataclysmic reckonings. At the pinnacle of every battle, Blevika would destroy the godly essence of her foe, running them through with her divine blade.
-Blevika's most renowned title, among the Gods and their eventual creations, has always been 'Blevika the Purifier'. Where she perceives the putrefaction and rot of a righteous social order, she draws her weapon, an executioner of those who falter from moral alignment for too long. Decadence her foe, she would appear before a people whose society had stagnated and begun to wane, offering them the tools for rebellion and violent rebirth.

 ===The Syncretic Moth===
-The Syncretic Moth, typically known as 'the Moth' or 'the Red Moth' is a disparate order of Blevika's loyalists, coming together across national and ideological boundaries to help lead nations of decaying social and political order towards ruin, and helping to establish new foundations in those realms as they arise. The Moth is generally run by a man or woman known as 'the Shepherd', a charismatic, ideological reformer who arises in an era of discord to bring about change. The Shepherd is chosen by Blevika herself, even now, and while the Moth is currently absent this leader, they continue to operate. Currently, the Moth is most active in the Kingdom of Lorien, though they have a smaller presence within Daravin. Given the anti-Path (Living God) inclination of both of these nations, the Moth operates within them in secret, seeking those dissatisfied by their society and passionate in invoking change.

 Blevika's historical icon, a golden-red moth escaping chrysalis, is still worn by many who follow the Path: a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings, the end of an era of stagnation, or one drenched in strife, purposelessness, abuse. Many who escape painful or harrowing experiences and find fulfillment owe the end of their old life to Blevika, finding solace in her teachings and donning amulets with such symbols, sometimes simply a medallion depicting her image.
-In truth, Blevika no longer appears this way, and some occults have built statues and monuments depicting her far more accurately. Those who have seen her in the rare period she is not immersed within a cocoon have described her as nearly nude, covered in grey, necrotizing rot, which she will purge from herself by force by ripping away her own limbs, only for them to grow and become infected once again. Blevika is often covered in burn marks from where she sears herself, seeking to purify specific pustules of corruption. Her armor has largely reformed into wings that cling to her back, and she is rarely seen with her old weaponry.

 Blevika has always been seen as ambivalent and harsh, an unforgiving force for ruin and cataclysm. In the face of her corruption, however, the view of the Goddess is increasingly somber. While she remains harsh, most of her purifying ire has been directed towards herself, internalizing all of her boundless wrath. In some strange way, corruption has made Blevika far less cruel, enduring her own eternal walk of penitence as she seeks her freedom from impurity.
