Nyx
Nyx was the embodiment of night itself. One of the first beings to emerge at the dawn of creation, she predated even the gods. Her arrival wasn’t a descent into darkness, but a majestic unfolding. She draped the world in a cloak of starry skies, ushering in a time of peace, mystery, and dreams.

Without the need for a partner, she gave birth to a host of powerful beings – Hypnus (Sleep), Thanatus (Death), the Moirae (Fates), and even Dolus (Deceit). These personifications of fundamental concepts emerged from her essence, a testament to the raw power she wielded as one of the first beings to rise from the void. However her union with Erebus, the god of darkness, birthed Aether, the pure essence of light, and Hemera, the embodiment of day.
