Epiphany

From a scroll describing the realm of Epiphany, Goddess of Life:

When an infant takes its first breath and screams with the exultation of living, Epiphany is there. She is there when the child refuses to cease questioning, "Why?" When the maiden blushes at the first sign of love, She is there. She is with the mother who sees the face of her child, whether it is for the first time or the thousandth. When the crone looks about herself and sees that she is surrounded by the ones she loves, Epiphany is there.

She is there when the infant speaks, his words unable to be understood. She is there when the child nurses his hurt after a sound whipping for disobedience. When the maiden discovers that her passion alone cannot change the world, Epiphany is present alongside her. She is there when the mother walks sleepless, nursing her child though she herself is malnourished. She is with the crone when she watches the ones she loves make the same mistakes she herself once did.

Epiphany is present through all the stages of Life. Though the journey begins and ends the same for every mortal, it is the Process that She holds sacred. Those that seek Epiphany seek to involve themselves deeply in Life, to discover that the purpose of life is a life of purpose.

Her sacred symbol is the columbine flower of blue and white, and She reveres the white lily, the bear, and the butterfly.

History

In the year 678 AD, when the Demon Gods began slaying the Gods of Imperian, Epiphany formed an alliance with Vahin, Cassiopeia, and Asaka. This alliance was first drawn into battle together when Asaka summoned them to the forest of Celidon, where Erzabet and Aosoth tried to kill the Wild One. After Azaoz and Visyra arrived and the Lord of Demons killed Asaka, She and Cassiopeia fought with Visyra and the hounds of Aosoth.

In the final days of the war, Epiphany participated in a great battle between the surviving Gods and what was left of Azaoz's forces. She bravely squared away with Aosoth for the final time, impaling him upon the ground and holding him in place long enough for Her Sister, Goddess of the Stars, to bring down the stars themselves to destroy Aosoth. The attack, unfortunately, killed Epiphany as well.
