Blevika

History

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. 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.

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.

Blevika was enraged, furious at Venadak who had deemed her too corrupted to roam Atharen. She had become a walking contradiction, a failure of her own ideals: a creature who sought to cleanse rot and blight who was, herself, mired in atrophying filth. She could feel blight consuming her mind, her body flaking and becoming putrid, her disfigurements too severe to leave untreated. Unwilling to lie within Bel, and subject herself to steepening rot, Blevika broke the seemingly impenetrable planar boundary between Bel and Muid, piercing through it with her spear and emerging on the surface of Senia. When she arrived, it was to the terror of the other Gods, who isolated her and decided whether or not to end her life. Malek fought her into submission, landing blows onto the waning Goddess until her mind became dormant, the last remnants of defiance leaving her.

When she awoke, she was within her Divine Realm of Alea Nel, surrounded by wards that would prevent her from ever leaving. Isolated, the Gods sequestered her blighted form within the grounds of the realm's vast cathedral, confining her there as if to bandage what was Muid's festering wound.

Since then, Blevika has lived as the outcast of the Living Gods, always seeking a method to cleanse her soul, cutting off limbs and regrowing them, annihilating her own form and reshaping it from its foundations. She lives in idle, flagellating madness, finding an unfailing comfort in her quest to cleanse the most proximal source of degenerating rot: herself.
