Personal history

Pressure. The crushing weight of a thousand mountains pressing in on all sides. A world's womb. In the beginning there was Earth, and pressure. That was where it all began, elemental Earth energies drawn together with all of that weight eventually drawing Fire as well. Earth and FIre melded and ans smelted, the searing rock crying out for relief and answered with Water, water and fire meet explosively and Air rushes in. The seed of a world is born. As fire, water, and air elementals arose and began to exercise their might, Earth remained still for a time yet. Earth never rushes an important work. Merena awoke to a world full of fascinating possibility, the first and easily most powerful earth elemental, she organized her people and set about the first age of propogation with zeal. Feeding upon the raw energies of creation and expanding the embryonic world. Ever after, Merana has never forgotten the passion and lust of those earlier ages. She's always been a lover and peacemaker over a fighter. If pressed to combat, she favors a tactic of opening with an overwhelming and overawing onslaught to demonstrate the advantages of seeking a peaceful solution. If that fails, she will settle in and endure the siege, waiting and watching for an opening to strike a crippling blow. In any situation Merana seeks to end a fight in a single, or as few blows as possible, always striking as devestatingly as possible in order to end the conflict sooner.

During the Time of Tumult, she always worked to take the sting from the others' forces. When Wessian howled and scoured the land, she raised mountain ranges and ridges to buffer them. When Valkis swelled and crashed across the world, Merana delved out oceans and lakes to contain them. When Fuegan raged and consumed, she buried his fires deep within her own flesh and the heat of their passion filled the deep places of the world. After the Fracturing, Merana was the most keenly aware of the hurt and damage the elemental rampages and Godswar were inflicting on Aurus, as well as the Council of Aleth's moral highground in wanting stability. When Fuegan and Corlan En-Dal began trying to convene negotiation to end the War of Beginnings, she was eager to help and add her touch to the mending of the world. The Accord of Aleth saw her enthroned as the Goddess of Earth, Spring, and Doom.
