Aedana

Aedana was a Living Star who lived in the Aedana Star Cluster in the early days of the Original Universe.

History
Before the Living Stars relocated to the Forest of Lights, Aedana lived among some of her kind as part of the Aedana Star Cluster in the Original Universe. For aeons, Aedana nurtured the nearby planet of Aedis with her light and warmth and used her powers to shield the planet against the dark forces of the primordial cosmos, even vaporizing some threats to Aedis with well-timed solar flares. The Aedisians, having lived under and worshipped Aedana for countless generations, created a vast mythology about the Living Stars that turned out to accurately describe their motivations and the creation of Sha'lythe - mortal beings who were converted into their servants after 'death'.

Eventually, Aedana and her rest of her kin in the Aedana Star Cluster began to approach the end of their natural life cycles, teetering on the verge of becoming supernovae. Despite the danger this posed to Aedis, Aedana decided to remain in her celestial position and hold on for as long as she could because to leave would be to doom Aedis to death by freezing. However, when she inadvertently released a solar emission that battered Aedis, causing death and destruction on a massive scale, she knew that a proper solution had to be found. Eventually, Aedana came up with a plan to summon the rest of the Living Stars across the universe so that they could pool their energies to turn the millions of remaining Aedisians into Sha'lythe. When Eclipse discovered Aedana's plan, he quickly intervened by absorbing the other Living Stars in the Aedana Star Cluster before casting Damnation upon Aedis, turning a select few (such as Quolas and Genetoes) into Kra'lythe while feasting on the rest. Eclipse ensured their loyalty by telling them that Aedana had planned to destroy them with her supernova, but that he had intervened and 'saved' them.

In 150,084 CMT (Day 76 of The Mazkertis Paradox arc), Tsunami told Quolas the truth about how Aedana had planned to save Aedis.
