The Mistress

The Mistress is a Demi-Primordial that presides over The Grand Hoard, the resting ground for dead heroes. She adores contests in all forms from combat to lotteries to races to riddles. She is usually seen in a dark skin, human-esque form with green smoke for eyes and a pipe in hand, though she states it is not her true form. She occasionally hosts the Divine Tourneys and more importantly the Ascension Tournament to grasp upon the various divine and force their fates to intertwine. Outside tournaments she is generally bored and crafts trials on Amotlan to sate her desire for action. Her real name is known only to her and she often boasts of a reward for guessing it, though since her name is likely in Primordial no one may safely guess what it is.

“Whether existence continues or stops matters not me. Thus, when he next dies I shall claim him as a referee for my coliseum, deal? We shall share him.”

Influence

The Mistress has influence over everything within the Grand Hoard, twisting Amotlan to her desire or creating universal laws within the plane that cannot be broken.

Powers

The Mistress is bound to the Grand Hoard and thus has power over everything in it except for its core function of taking in Awakened Spirits. She can write supernatural laws that take effect over the Hoard and play with the regions of the realm like clay. She is both bound and desires to be neutral in all proceedings, even if they would bring about the end of the World Tree earlier. Outside the Hoard, she has power similar to a Demi-Divine and uses primarily sealing Truths. Her sealing places things and beings into the Grand Hoard and when the seal is broken they are returned to where they came from.

Artifacts

The Mistress has few artifacts that deal in sealing or spacial affects.

History

The Mistress was created by the World Spider, Nerisys after the Calamity. She burst forth from her mother’s egg knowing her duty, to cause fates to intertwine like a spider’s web by overseeing the Grand Hoard. The hoard was created by the World Dragon to prepare a realm filled with exceptional champions to help combat Oloris in the end. She was left with instructions and laws to bind her to the realm and rarely ventures out from it. Soon after her creation, she reached out to The Mortal Gods in order to bring their exceptional beings on death to her realm for the chance to win her tournaments or trials and then reached further to the other Greater Beings to enter the Ascension Tournament.
