Parentage: Lathunis crawled out of the bed sheets of Aroseus and Mysia's first night together, formed from the act of marriage.
Pantheon/Affiliation: Deity
Appearance: Sometimes she appears as a young girl, with two golden braids. Her eyes are wide and blue and she wears a simple white gown. In her hand is a small rag doll which mimics her appearance. Other times she appears as a grown woman wearing a golden helmet, hair cropped short and unseen. She stands tall with perfect posture and is donned in a pure white gown, the same as her younger appearance.

Centres of Worship/Places of Power:

While being a younger goddess, Lathunis pretty much has a temple in every city and is well worshiped, as most people pray for some kind of loyalty within their lives. She holds the most sway during war times though and is more powerful then as well.

Lathunis shares the patronage of marriage with her mother, but the ceremonies themselves are held within the walls of her temple. While her mother represents a more feeling side of marriage, she represents the commitment. Marriage ceremonies are grand affairs held within the walls of her temples and finished with the tying of a knot. Because of this, the knot became her main symbol, and she is often acknowledged through the burning of a knot.

Servants, Prominent Followers and Worship Base:
Lathunis has no servants in the mortal realms, especially because of her recent creation. She has a growing fan base in the women of the world, especially those of men in positions of power. Those that are betrayed pray to her for vengeance, and most times she attempts to answer.

Psychology:
Lathunis is stubborn and stalwart. She cared deeply for her father and mother, and stubbornly clung to them both as her father fell from popularity. She has some of her father's authoritarianism in her and believes very strongly in order; chaos bothers her almost as much as disloyalty. She hates those that betray those they claim loyalty and becomes an avenger to right what she believes is wrong. If you were to classify her by alignment, she would be the definition of lawful good. She holds her family in the highest regard, and considers most of the modern pantheon to be part of it.

Lathunis takes her patronage very seriously and remains very loyal to the humans that pray the hardest. She does not appear often in the humans eyes but casually sway things in their favor. She loves humanity with a strange fierceness, and encourages those that follow the path of duty and patriotism. She does not like radicals and always supports the side in an argument that is the least selfish. Those that die in battle she holds in the highest regard.

History:
Lathunis was never unplanned or a surprise, the King and Queen of the Gods needed an heir apparent. They were already having enough trouble keeping the other gods and goddesses under check, especially since Aroesus has always been quite the authoritarian. She was born from the sheets of their bed and sprung up in her child form, eyes wide. Her first years were spent within the walls of Krona, and she very rarely left the walls of the palace.

The first time Lathunis left the walls of Hevas, she arrived on the sights of human war. The battle was brutal and bloody, many dead bodies piled up everywhere, there was one mortal man that caught her attention. His name was Deiartes. Lathunis fell in love with Deiartes from afar, and snuck out of Krona many days to watch him. The more she watched him the more attracted she became, until one day she took a human form and visited him. An affair began, in secret, but her father soon found out. He himself had had trysts with many mortals, but did not approve of the relationship. Lathunis was torn between her father and the mortal man, but chose her father. She returned to her secret watching of him and observed as he married another mortal woman and had children and aged. With his death, Lathunis retreated to Krona and did not venture to the mortal realm for many years.

Lathunis was bothered by Lyrikes and felt that he was taking advantage of her father. She also knew that this would be the only opportunity that the unrestful deities would need. Lathunis attempted to warn her father, but he was too smitten with Lyrikes to care for what she had to say. Already upset about the whole affair with Lyrikes, Lathunis sought help from her mother, but only recieved contempt.

Aroesus died at no surprise to Lathunis, but his death left her with some problems. With her mother in hiding and the pantheon falling to peaces, it seemed like ruling was falling quickly upon her shoulders. With contestants for the throne coming from every which direction she needed to make a move, though she was unwilling seeing as the dislike of her father may have carried on to her own neck.

Relationships:
While her father was alive, she was dutiful and respectful but she never felt true love for him. She respects him the same in death, but feels regret that she did not try harder to form a closer bond with her father. Her mother has always been very loving and protective, she dislikes her unstable nature and unpredictable mannerisms. She was raised with Eskellon, and thinks of him like her brother. Her closest confident, and friend, is Anavid, who she almost raised.MORE RELATIONSHIPS PENDING.
