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. Though this did not worry the last few generations of Aedisians, for whom the stars had been dying their entire lives, a new threat arrived in the form of Eclipse that Aedana was unable to protect them from due to her frailty. While Aedana was weakened, Eclipse decided to "save" Aedis from being destroyed by her eventual supernova by first consuming the planet himself and converting the most wilful of the Aedisians into Kra'lythe, thus ensuring that there would be "survivors". One of them was Quolas.
