Xrysmathra the Usurper

Xrysmathra was the Goddess of Earth in Ye Olde Times, where her powers and talents in manipulating matters of the ground soon grew uncontrollably with the help of her father Tzarrax, early causing concerns from some factions of the Gods. Her father was one of the few Gods who had the powers and the immorality to experiment with mortal races, and taught her to draw her own creations from the soil and nutrition of the ground, shaping dark skinned and slender beings, hardened by her manipulation over solid iron and rocks. This race was known as the, and had the unusual change in arrangements, so that the females overruled in their society, the males mostly being made slaves due to their lesser physical and magical abilities.

She built great domes underground in dark caves where her race dwelled, worshipping her as their Goddess. Xrysmathra shaped a large proportion of the world with the aid of her father, concerns growing within other factions of the Gods. Her race were vile and merciless creatures, savagely slaughtering and taking over other mortal cities when their reign was at it's peak.

These creations caused widespread dividing between the Gods, those believing experimenting with races in such a way was not to be done, and those in favor of this, claiming their powers should not be restricted by such questions of morality. The Gods stood on the brink of war, as they believed that Tzarrax and his allies should be stopped. They launched a full on attack on his lair, causing widespread destruction of severely weaking the numbers of mortal races, and eventually murdering Tzarrax. This was the start of the First Divide, where Xrysmathra led the remaining forces of her father against the other Gods.
