Faemelia

Tier: God (One of the Eleven) Element: Water Parent/Origin: Polaena

Overview

Faemelia is the Goddess of Water and the first of Polaena's ten children, the eldest of the Eleven. Her hair is deep silver, not gray or white but described as the color of moon-washed metal. She is not tall, but her posture eliminates that distinction entirely. Every movement is purposeful and deliberate; she wears no crown and needs none. Her voice is described as steady as waves. She is the sibling most consistently described as concerned for the mortal peoples, and she is the one who steps forward to deliver difficult news to the Gemwielders in Book II, including the fall of Almaej, the death of Yaeatria, and Dhathrir's betrayal.

Her great essence and power is abused by The Low, where he appears in her form to Dhathrir Szakuvya, the thief Gemwielder, to convince him to lead a path of conquest and power.

Originally, her Gemwielder was Lynaria Praczaya, a servant girl of the Szakuyva Estate in Porve Yatasha, before Dhathrir Szakuvya killed her out of jealousy and took the Gem for himself.
