 For as long as Evitrix has lived, she has never been able to forget that one moment: timeless, grim, standing in the front row of an orderly crowd, peers to each side of her in a line formation. Blood from the raised platform spattered onto her face and even sprayed into her eyes, and yet she did not flinch; did not blink. She did not move at all, retaining her poise, arms clasped together behind her back as she stood upright and tall. What Evitrix stood in the face of was the execution of her father and mentor, whose very blood smeared across her face, the intention of the ones who killed him, to remind her of her own fate if she were ever to follow his path. The purpose of her father's execution was punishment for creating a weapon of war, the greatest and most devastating weapon ever forged in the universe.

 Evitrix, like her old man, is one of the greatest engineers to have ever lived. Like all Adac that reign over Atharen, she was born to an alien civilization, one eventually destroyed by the colossal Mana-Eater known as the Outsider. Evitrix was a member of an elite cabal of scientists, along with [[Gevala]], a group that once focused their genius on generating technologies meant to slay others of their kind, only to change their focus in the face of their species' extinction. When the Outsider destroyed the Adac homeworld, rending them scattered and crippled, she devised the construction of a vessel of unbelievable might: Eridan-5, a marvel unlike any the galaxy had ever seen.
-Eridan-5 was, ultimately, a last ditch effort to escape the destruction that surrounded her kind. Utilizing Quantum Theory and a crux made from refined anti-matter and Divinity, Evitrix and her engineers learned to produce a vessel that could bridge time and space, folding the layers of reality to be able to leap to any point in the universe. It was their view that by utilizing this ability, they could escape the Outsider; they could create a distance long enough that it could never prey upon them, and in this theory the last Adac worlds invested their hope, sinking the waning remainders of their resources to enable the rapid production of this transcendent vessel. Evitrix became the hope of her kind, and when Eridan-5 was complete - and was proven to function - she was heralded as their savior. Nearly twenty million of her people funneled onto that ship, and it made its first voyage, moving through the endless dark to find a new home.

 And, when it arrived, Eridan-5 was greeted by ''it.'' The Outsider. The beast swiped through the hull of the ship, sending it plummeting through space, the creature's tendrils extending out to carve through its sections like a blade. After a conflict that lasted for nine hours, the ship was completely razed, over ninety percent of the Adac on board slain in the conflict or due to the implosion of Eridan-5's energy core. Those that remained scattered across the new galaxy that surrounded them, fleeing in all directions so that the Outsider would need to hunt them one by one.

 It was years after this point that Venadak found these stragglers, uniting those willing to join him in forging a new plane; a final escape from the Mana-Eater's grasp. During this time, Evitrix brooded and mourned, steeped in a confluence of regret and humiliation, lamenting her failure and blaming herself for the extinction of her people. She wept, and then eventually found herself numb of anything; numb of purpose and life, numb of any desire to escape or receive companionship. She was, in her view, the Adac's greatest failure, and it was only a matter of time before she was delivered her retribution by the Outsider's all-consuming maw.
-Instead, she was found by Venadak and three others, the first to join his cause: Brazim, Y'shendra, and Saryn. Evitrix was impressed by Venadak's plan and his resolve, and was persuaded that she would be a necessary component in bringing it to fruition. He did not scorn her for her failure, but praised her for the ingenuity of her vessel, and her devotion to serving the remnants of their species. His logic and charisma appealed to her, and the woman ultimately surrendered her addiction to grieving, reassembling that same poise she held as she watched her father bleed onto her ivory plate. Evitrix became one of the key components in Atharen's construction, and one of Venadak's greatest confidants.

 Once Atharen was successfully forged and the fourteen remaining Adac assembled within it, Evitrix largely kept away from the mythological absurdities of her peers. She retained that she was an Adac, merely an alien species, and continued to follow their ways. The woman did not take upon the title of "God," but rather "Architect," or "Creator." While the others frolicked in their own power and divinity and eventually fell to the poison of their own arrogance, she remained sequestered within her mind-numbing purgatory, endlessly chipping away at the schematics for a new Eridan-5, and a new hope for bringing the Outsider to its knees at last.

-Evitrix suits her domains well. She is the Goddess of War, and the basis for this title is that she is the most ruthlessly efficient in how she wages it. Unlike [[Jaxkael]], Evitrix does not worry for honor, or semantics, or showmanship, or presentation. She does not need to excite the roar of a crowd, nor to feel any personal elation or thrill in the destruction of her enemies. She plans things as any heartless dictator might: with math. Evitrix focuses on the objective elements of war; how many can be killed for the least amount of resources, how their deaths might affect the morale of surrounding soldiers or regions. She is content to kill civilians if necessary, and has done so in the past. When the Gods declared war on the Unbroken Empire during the Age of Tyranny, it was Evitrix who determined their plan of action.

 Evitrix quickly decided to raze Mithira, the Empire's capital province, to nothing. She launched rays from the heavens from her prototype of Eridan-5, ones which annihilated entire city districts in moments, murdering thousands every minute. When the Gods determined they would escalate the war to one of total annihilation, it took only hours for Evitrix to carpet bomb the entirety of their base of power, killing eighty million people in the process.

 While many of the other Gods like to be seen as reverent, mythical beings, Evitrix prefers the regalia of an erudite sophisticate. Among all the Gods, she is the only one who continues to wear the adorned raiment of the Adac before Atharen's construction, demonstrating their old interstellar primacy. Evitrix is often difficult for people to even conceptualize, physically. She wears garments built of materials that do not exist on Atharen's plane, sleek white plate with golden lining, her hair a pale blond and often styled into a simple bun. She is often most associated with wearing gold-plated talons, which are known to be divine instruments; the Creator's Marionette, through which she assembles and operates both [[Spirits And Dregs|spirits]] and advanced machines.
-Many of her depictions are that of a faceless woman, typically obscured by a dense, golden mask, or even a helm. She is often turning her back towards the crowd facing her, her arms and legs outstretched in a way that make her appear as if walking away. Evitrix has always known to be the Adac least fond of mortals, neither despising nor lamenting them; she is ambivalent to their existence, and because of that statues and idols of her have historically been sparse.

 The symbol most commonly associated with Evitrix is the gold-banded sphere, one with tiered layers with inscriptions written upon it in an alien language, the predecessor to Eldhan. Seeing as the sphere appears to move and come apart, often - in symbols of her - it is fragmented or spread out into multiple bangle-like rings, with a core of crystal locked inside.

 When one first enters the Presidium, they will emerge from a strange aberration in physics; a spiral-like waterfall, one which appears to arc and bend around in reality, actively twisting and reshaping as transparent gold and violet crystals briefly appear in the air around its edges, dissipating shortly after. Rather than the water dousing the individual as they emerge, it will simply appear to store and encode their information, acting as a disassembler and allowing them to teleport to a different location within the realm should they so desire.
-After the initial awe of the waterfall recedes, the entrant will look around them to see a number of things: a beautifully maintained garden, layered with bushes of flowers never before seen on their planet, often uniquely colored or translucent. They will see a courtyard of impressive scale, spanning for hours with excellently designed architecture throughout, Draedan and Noradac gathered around tables with tea to discuss and formulate blueprints. As they look further out, one thing will be incredibly clear: they are within the hull of an absolutely colossal ship, something so truly epic in scale as to defy their understanding of reality. The Presidium is the garden and courtyard of the new Eridan-5, a slate black vessel capable of housing entire civilizations. As they look along the edges of the ship, incomplete in its construction, they will see Noradac ascending throughout the sky, welding holographic blurring into physical reality, as if forging something real and concrete from nothing.

 At the very end of the Presidium lies its overlook, from where one can view its massive weapons: eight artillery easily the size of a large castle each, the tools utilized to annihilate the greatest Empire Atharen has ever known. Near the very back of the Presidium looms Evitrix's tower and command center, a multi-winged spire of sleek metal, with shifting, opalescent glass along its mystifying edges. The Presidium has been seen by few in all of Atharen's history, but those who have witnessed and recorded it have never been believed.
