Life Circumstance

Coeus lives in an old home on the outer edge of Ush Helkhem closer to the more dense forest with their cat Obi. They are not in good standing with the holy Sovereignty and especially not with the local Countess and they know it’s only a matter of time before they’re either expelled or killed. In the meantime, Coeus serves as a wise caretaker for those in the community who have not taken to shunning them. Coeus provides shelter, healing, nourishment for those in need, and they provide wise guidance. 

History

Coeus is the last High Priestess of the Apostles of Fate. They were born in the cult and spent their life dedicated to it. They’d been High Priestess for several decades when the Holy Sovereignty came for their land and forced their submission. Coeus held out as long as they could, but with the beasts all but gone and members being killed, running away, or voluntarily converting to the Holy Sovereignty, there was no life left to keep the cult intact. 

Coeus took primary care of one of their Acolytes Lia’s two young children, Ytharae and Nelnyne, when they ran 100 years ago. Though Coeus had given birth to many children in their dreams, they had never been delivered any to raise. With the disappearance of Lia, however, it seemed only sensible that their children needed to be cared for and Coeus, as High Priestess, was a natural choice. Coeus was a kind and caring parent, though heavily distracted by the events of the cults diminishment and inevitable death and they strongly enforced the ideals of the Apostles of Fate with Ytharae and Nelnyne. 

Beliefs

Coeus is still devoted to Yrzhum and the beliefs of their cult. They rationalize that the beasts disappeared and their way of life ended because Yrzhum had completed setting the path for the liberation of the moon from the grasp of Sula Helkhem. And now they essentially just wait for things to unfold and for the moon to become their utopia. 

Motivations

They are motivated by a principled view of balance as a necessity to keep the path set by Yrzhum on track. They consistently weight their choices with a heavy mind, trying to interpret the purpose for every encounter so they make the correct choices. 

Personality

Coeus has a very strong, bold personality. They are principled and very confident. They are knowingly very harsh and sometimes forceful in their manner because they think they know what’s best for everyone better than they do. Despite this, people naturally endear themselves to them quite easily as they are very warm and nurturing and a persuasive caretaker.
