Maya began as an [[Aldar]] maiden in the [[:category:Mythology|Age of Myth]]. After she was raped by the mysterious [[Unnamable Horror]] Maya gave birth to twins, the first [[humans]], an act which brought ostracisation from her fellow Aldar. Much grief was borne amongst [[Gods]] and Aldar alike in the [[War of Humanity|Chaos Wars]] that surrounded the new race, so Maya was raised to Godhood by [[Sarapis]] to better oversee them. The strife and suffering of Her mortal descendants over Her long watch aggrieved the compassionate Goddess for uncounted years and in time She entombed Herself in the earth of the [[Siroccian Mountains]], sleeping in a place called the [[Shrine of Ascension]].

The year 395 A.F. marked the conclusion of one epoch and the birth of another. Sarapis, who had overseen all [[Creation]] since the beginning of [[Time]], merged [[Makali]], the Goddess of Destruction, and Maya, the Mother of Humanity, into one being: Maya, the Great Mother. Imbuing the new Goddess with His own power, He passed on to Her the mantle of Supreme Creator of Achaea.

In 613 A.F., Maya sacrificed Her divinity to raise hundreds of mortals as demigods in hopes of defeating the forces of [[Bal'met]], the Worldreaver. The feat was a success, and in the aftermath, Maya relinquished Her waning immortality to return to Her beginnings as an Aldar, departing to an unknown place to lead a mortal life.
