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 oversee 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]].

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. | The year 395 A.F. marked the conclusion of one epoch and the birth of another.
