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]], the [[Logos]] to better watch over them. The strife and suffering of Her [[mortal]] descendants during 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]]. | Maya began as an [[Aldar]] maiden in the [[:category:Mythology|Age of Myth]].

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