Canon history for the children of Lymaeus. HeySeuss confirmed it. :D
[spoiler]First there was Ventu and his creations. But Lymaeus (Like Gaia in Greek myths) lived in those days too, before she had become heartbroken with grief and pain. Before she had retreated into herself and spoke no longer. When she saw the children of Ventu she longed for children of her own and her longing birthed Titalarus. But he was so monstrous that even Lymaeus didn't know what to make of him. She tried again and her own children rose, elemental and powerful from within her own form. First came Aldaril First Born of Stone, then came Mirra Second Born of Water, then Nyxis Third Born of Storms, then Lloris Fourth Born of Fire, then Glissa Fifth Born of Forests, and last came Nihris Last Born of the Depths. Nihris became the goddess of death among her other traits and she created the twin Gates of Nihris to bar the way to Hevas and Malebazus so that the dead could not leave and the living could not enter before their time.
For many long years the children of Lymaeus claimed that their mother was theirs and ruled over Lymaeus and the lesser gods who also lived upon her. But Ventu tired of creation and he turned to destroy it. The children of Lymaeus joined their strength with Aerosus and his brothers to fight against Ventu and in the end they won. But when victory was won and the children of Lymaeus tried to return to their domains on Lymaeus Aerosus ordered them to submit to him and surrender their birthrites. They refused and he declared he would take it from them. And they fought.
Aldaril raised mountains and called on the stones for strength but he fell, Mirra fought with balance and illusions but they were pierced, Nyxis raged across Lymaeus but the sky rejected him and he fell, Lloris’ fire was quenched, Glissa was uprooted and cut down. Nihris called to her children and they flocked to her in a cloud that blotted out the sun. But they died in their thousands and when she tried to hide among them Aroesus broke open their caves and burned them.
Nihris sued for peace, begging that her children be spared. She offered to serve the new god king and was spared but the price was harsh. No longer would Nihris Last Born of Lymaeus be the goddess of death and no longer would the Derevi breed as they once had. When Aroesus demanded that no more Derevi be born Nihris obeyed but she denied her children oblivion, prolonging their lives so that they would not pass from the world. She survived and has continued in the role she has left in the world for her children still live and that is the most important thing.
Now Aroesus is dead and Nihris has lifted the restriction on the Derevi breeding, commanding her children to breed once more. Rumors say she gathers the most ancient of her children to take back Malebazus and free her brothers and sisters from lake Sharzunates..[/spoiler]
