Daeva's Legacy

Origins of Daeva, a sinister spirit that of which her foes tried to erase her from history, sealed behind barriers as to prevent her tampering with the mortal world.

Daeva was a spirit viewed by many as the emissary of chaos. Many of Daeva’s followers were outcasts, extremists, and anarchists. Daeva would kill indiscriminately. She would unleash natural disasters and disease upon civilizations at random. Many other gods did not like Daeva for a multitude of reasons. A few similarly powerful spirits came together and agreed that Daeva was too reckless with her power. These spirits worked together to strip Daeva of her power over 10,000 years ago. Daeva was reduced to a dark spirit, and her power was sealed away somewhere only the gods knew.

Even if Daeva were to find her sealed power, the spirits took precautions and ensured no spirit could break the seal. After handling Daeva, the spirits had their followers burn all books that referenced Daeva and rewrite them, omitting Daeva’s very existence. Some of the spirits also had their followers destroy all who followed Daeva, calling it a "holy" mission. The spirits wanted to erase all evidence of Daeva’s existence besides herself. Daeva now wanders the world as a spirit, trying to find her lost power and gaining cult followings. Most of her modern-day followers are from Zul, but any mention of Daeva is met with skepticism. Most believe the followers to be delusional; there are no records of such a being ever existing. Daeva uses her small number of followers to sow chaos and disdain for the other gods. She went and manipulated six pregnant women into making a contract in which their unborn children would be bound to Daeva. Each of these children would have a cursed body part. Daeva would try to use these children to bring more chaos to the world, and perhaps for other reasons.
