Long ago, Exaka presented Cen, a powerful but mindless construct, as a gift to Guygus for use in his demonic legions as a weapon against the forces of Nim. As an entity of Law, she proved highly resilient in a war against foes who were not expecting such an opponent. She commanded Guygus's demonic legions, forcing them under control with her harsh and direct approach. The legions banded together under her strict, fearsome temperance.
Leading an army of demons, she destroyed many valiant celestials as she unknowingly and mindlessly aided her wicked master. Though, as Exaka's reign came to an end, so did the control placed over her and she went wild, destroying everything in her path, slaying many of Guygus's demons, much to his own amusement.
Guygus contacted the fierce champion Nril to help nullify the threat of Exaka's uncontrolled construct. Guygus hoped that the clash between the two would conclude in at least one of the two. Unfortunately for Guygus, Nril succeeded in defeating Cen, though instead of destroying her, he took pity and bestowed upon her the divine spark he had attained after devouring his brother, Thil. With this gift, Cen gained divine sapience and innate goodness. Over the following ages, she grew in strength with the help of Nril, attaining the rank of Sosha Orsa. In their long time of trial and training together, they both have since become lovers.
Cen is tireless in her efforts. She continually seeks to atone for the horrors she wrought while enthralled to Guygus. Her clergy, understanding her quest, are known to provide refuge for those seeking earnest redemption.
She resides within Eonolis, The City of Glory, in Nymnelia.
Her followers also colloquially refer to her as The Crystal Goddess.
During the reconstruction and trials after The First and Last War (a war involving the first and last divine orders), it is known that Cen pleaded to Rejik to petition for the release of the imprisoned sabayoh archangels (Ohmriel, Nril, Ordmal and Nixil).
Incarnation[edit]
Cen's form is a sleek construct made of crystal, adamantine, gold and pearl with a core of godstone magistroma. Four arms float fluidly by her sides as she stands, bobbing and swaying in dancelike rhythm. She only passably resembles a female humanoid, as her sleek translucent shell covers a network of intricate gears and working parts, silently perpetually whirling. She wears gossamer ribbons and fine fabrics. She towers over her heralds, and is a fierce warrior in battle. She uses two repeating heavy crossbows, which are reloaded by her second set of arms. Though in melee, she prefers to use her four rapiers, which are said to be so keen that they can pierce through any defense. When she speaks, her voice resounds like a chorus of symphonic instruments.
- Tactical Precognition: She is able to calculate the future on the battlefield, but her calculations can only take things into account which are on the battlefield, for this reason, she does not rely on it as a crutch, but as a tool to view every ally and target on the plane of battle.
Dogma[edit]
Worry not for what you have done and regret, for those who wish to repent, you will be given eternity to atone for your misdeeds. You must not suffer at the wills of others, nor must you let others suffer at the will of yours.
Cen preaches strongly in spreading order through beauty, and that the two are permanently linked.
Clergy and Temples[edit]
Temples of Cen are intricately built, architectural marvels. Many architects worship Cen as a means of gaining access to the great amount of architectural study and knowledge stored in their archives. Clerics of Cen are often architects themselves, and built intricate mechanical contraptions into the temple. Common folk find that temples are both marvelous spiritually and technologically. Those clerics that don't find enlightenment by building houses, find it by constructing siege weapons to use against the forces of chaos and evil that threaten civilized lands.
