Morria (MORE-ee-a) is the Lady of Battle, the goddess of conflict, war, and death.

Morria is one of the Later Gods of the Midron pantheon, birthed of the elements rather than the First Gods. She is a powerful and influential deity, often present in the contests between the gods, as conflict is her nature.

Relationships

Morria is the twin sister of Kysk, Lord of Blood. She lives for the opposition of the other gods, often conducting elaborate schemes to thwart their purposes.

Morria revels in the battles and wars of humankind and often works to instigate such conflicts where none would be necessary.
