"The dawn will never rise again."
Aoide is the eldest child between the Mother and Eos, and the former Rau'n of Sorcery before she was exiled from Bran Vaal, the city of gods. She is now the Queen of Sheol, and has also been dubbed the Unholy Mother of the Shedim.
Aoide personifies the mercurial forces of magic. There are records from the Golden Zenith that say that while the Grand Design was thought up by the Mother, it was Aoide who planned its schematics and patterns, while Nimue was tasked to complete it by weaving the Tapestry, though the Songstresses of the Chantry of Ecematare are quick to denounce such documents as blasphemous.
She is believed to be the most powerful of the Ao, as she is the divine representation of the Mother's power.
Appearance[]
Although she can assume many forms, Aoide is often said to manifest as an impossibly beautiful young Viere woman with flowing scarlet hair cascading to her waist. The irises of her eyes are crimson and her lips are red as blood.
