Nil’Ko: Goddess of Furies, Inner Planes, and Ambassador of the Fae. 

Known across the plane Nil’Ko, The Lady of the Furies, The Keeper of the Fae, The Dancing Lights, The Light Fantastic, The Divine Aura, The Elemental, The Power Stone, The Orbit, The Mistress of Powers, The Sorceress, and The Lady of Places. 

Nil’Ko is a member of the Ko’Cai, The Gods of Magic, The Gods of Shaping, The Fairy Courts, The Gods of Fire, The Gods of Wisdom, The Ladies of Life, and the Gods of Wisdom. 

Holy Books: The Book of Suns. 

Nil’Ko is all that is outside the mortal coil but inside the influence of Ithian gods. She is the Fury, The Elemental, The Concept, and the ambassador to the Fae. She is the connection that binds the Inner Planes to Ithia. She is the daughter of Septriss and Iath Ko. 

Her Symbol is The Unity – A ring with the Fury arcane icons, a ring with the Elemental alchemy sigils, and a ring with the Conceptual domains bound by the Great Fairy Tree. 

Nil’Ko when active on Ithia, is represented by a shifting celestial body that cycles through the Fury energies and Elemental materials. 

Nil’Ko does not maintain a divine plane and instead has an embassy in the Nature Court and quarters in the High Queen’s palace.  

Nil’Ko has no divine artifacts. 

Nil’Ko is all soft, neutral skin, shiny dark green hair, and bright soulful green eyes with petal like marks that cycle through the Fury energy cycle giving them brilliance and texture no mortal could have. She often wears armor of fire and ice, a dress of shimmering sea, wind, and clouds studded with gemstones forged of captured lightning. Elements flow around her forming a cape of every elemental material in every state of matter. 

Nil’Ko is a stern, charismatic goddess with a great deal of gravitas. She keeps the various connected planes in line and serves as ambassador to the Fae. She directly rules over the Furies and their complex societies within the Djinn, Furies and other miscellaneous energy creatures. She grants her divine servants access to the Fury energy fonts making them powerful manipulators of every form of arcane energy and the means to summon, bind, and control the outsiders of the Fury and Fae planes.  

Nil’Ko is not worshipped much and is more a force of nature among mortals given praise only to placate potential wrath. Her main flowers are arcanists who rely on the energies of the Fury Planes and above all the various Mancers. She often has small shrines in places of arcane power, crossroads, and where fairy circles and forts tend to form. Her symbols protect against the fae and fairies are one of the few reasons the commoner might bother to remember her.  

Nil’Ko’s Values.   

Pillars (Virtues)- Power, Energy, and Control. 

Columns (Vices)- Ground, Solidity, and Chaos. 

Nil’Ko does not command meager mortal legions but the whole of the Fury and Djinn people.
