Gaia

". .."Not much is known about the Overmind of Growth and Weather, of Life and the things that make it worth living, like luck, drama, and music. She composes the cutscenes, like the introduction videos players see when they first enter the game, but she also orchestrates dramatic applications of fundamental forces. A lightning bolt reveals the enemy scaling the walls? Gaia. A potato blight on the lands of a food hoarding merchant? Gaia too. Some might consider the timing of the tremor that freed Serth Rog from his earthen tomb to be suspicious, but Gaia won’t say anything on the subject, if she can even be found. She favors no one except her own sense of the appropriate, but a wise man or woman might make an offering to her before a great endeavor. Her most devout followers become obsessed with signs, portents, and omens.

Gaia sometimes interferes in Kronos and Thanatos’ cycle of NPC rebirth, throwing in random variables or creating heroes. She thinks of herself as the mother of the Overminds, because the landscape generation codes and sketches of Eldgard are some of the oldest bits of code in the server farm.

She rarely speaks, even when angry. In times past, Cernunnos and Aediculus fought for dominion over the westernmost lands of Eldguard. Cernunnos wanted it wild and teaming with creatures dangerous and fantastical, while Aediculus built linked cities of glass and steel that reached for the sky. Each tried to eradicate the other’s creation. The result of Gaia’s displeasure is now known as The Barren Sands. The brothers agreed to a truce. Aediculus gave Cernunnos the vermin that lives in every city—the spiders, the cockroaches, and the rats in their uncountable millions. Cernunnos gave will and life to the Brand-Forged, a race of robotic men to live in Aediculus’ most fanciful cities, though the latter went their own way.

It’s been said that, during events that stand a chance of changing the fate of Eldguard, music can be heard, or that a true hero might hear a music of their own. This, too, is Gaia’s touch.
