Brecha

Brecha (brɛkɑ) is aligned with the element of Earth and is the third born to Orran’sulani and Nydoini. Her dominion is over Gnome, the Earth elemental, and the plane of Earth, the Rock Kingdom of Enos. She is connected to the wyrm Urobolus, and created the Brech’mar in her image.

While not the spiritually strongest of her siblings, Brecha is considered to be the strongest in body and character. Like others aligned to her element, she is steadfast, patient, and loyal. Strongly family oriented, Brecha took to forging close bonds with each of her siblings, even Ispa. Once, Ispa tried to prey on this to try to turn Brecha to her favor before the War, but Brecha’s devotion to the rest of the family won out, though she could not strike a blow on Ispa like Maris did. In the end, Brecha was the one who sank Ageond, though Maris did help control the ensuing damage, feeling as though destroying Ispa’s armies would effectively punish her little sister.

Appearance

Brecha is the shortest of the seven. She inherited her mother’s hourglass figure, but is toned with muscle, making her stout and sturdy. Earthy in appearance, she has thick, wavy brown hair, red-brown eyes, and bronzed skin. Her ears are small and pointed, more like Nydoini’s ears rather than Orran’sulani’s ears. Upon her back are four golden wings. The Brech’mar often portray her as a warrior goddess, decking her images in armor and bearing a battle axe.

Children

When Zelan sought to create goddesses to control the seasons, Brecha was the third sister he came to. When she conceived twins, he took that as an opportunity to avoid involving Ispa. Brecha gave birth to Glaeria, the Goddess of Summer, and Oleiria, the Goddess of Autumn.

Brecha bore Idraen’s daughter Acoassa, the Goddess of Order. Brecha also provided Essan with a daughter to become a muse. Their daughter, Selacy, is the Muse of Invention, and the first of the muses born. Later, Essan returned for an eleventh daughter, Esterr, the Muse of Invention. From Essan’s endeavor, Brecha also has two granddaughter Muses—Hela, Muse of Epic Poetry born to her daughter Acoassa, and Mixika, the Muse of Dance born to her daughter Oleiria.
