Arcana

Arcana is often called the Goddess of the Arcane. Like many other Higher Powers, she came to renown in the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE). She served at Irrai and other legendary bastions. She was a purveyor of primordial artifacts and information. When a heavy dose of magic was needed, she fought alongside the Golden Seven in their battles against the primordials. Her great intelligence was valued so much, that she was often posted to relatively safe areas of a battlefield. Arcana also served as a record-keeper for the Creation War and the early history of the world Bal-Kriav. She also had a voice in naming places across Straiden which is why some are in the Supernal tongue. Most of these places were named by Arcana, and a few by Bal-Kriav.

Arcana and Atlas fell in love during the later years of the Dawn Era. Their relationship waxes and wanes, and in good times they have children. In the Dawn Era, they had had their first son, naming him Gortun. When he was killed in the Creation War, Arcana blamed Atlas for his death. Unable to convince Arcana their son died doing his duty, the two went their separate ways. They came back together for a brief time, building a monument to their son, the towering bastion of Gortuns Rock. In the God Era, Arcana and Atlas were back together for a time, giving birth to Polyxo.

In the Lith-Crillion Era, at least a dozen times before she was caught and sanctioned, Arcana had children with the mortal elves of Kriav. Nobody knows for sure where they ended up, but enough have come out of orphanages, or from questionable parents, and went on to greatness that they are labeled a Daughter of Arcana. On the world of Bal-Kriav, most are convinced the Thrandor are the blood of Arcana.

In the First Epoch, 20 Temporal 1, Arcana and Silvanus established an alliance of gods named The Balance.

In the Year 27, Arcana created the Turgon Boundary Ward; a containment field that keeps the abyssal hordes from escaping Turgon.

In 1513, Arcana helped a group of mortals close the Abyssal Funnel.
