Nephodacha Neph-o-dach-a
was just a egg during the great war, stolen from Mathandria during an encounter and cast into the forest of what is now known as Talax, the impact caused an early birth and the young hatchling found herself alone. Hidden from the skies above she was forced to learned quickly and make a home for herself, her wings did mature like the others and so she was forced to live on the ground. Her forbearer Mathandria pined for her lost child but was unable to make contact with her. Nephodacha spent the first two hundred and fifty years trapped within the forest, but in that time her power awakened, a connection with the forest at its core, she helped it grow repair damage done by the war above, nurturing the forest animals, protecting them from being caught in the crossfire.
Eventually her power became strong enough for Mathandria to find her, but it was late on in the war, the dragon population was devastated, Mathandria was overjoyed to have a young dragon by her side once more, but Nephodacha longed for the forest home, so still spent many a day beneath its cover. When the war was over and the elves began to populate the surface some found their way to Nephodacha. She welcomed them in and taught them the way of the forest, although at this point they were still elves, just attuned the forest. After a few millennia Nephodacha grew tired and passed form the mortal realm, her people honoured her memory with a great party that lasted days and each anniversary would hold the same party and she was not forgotten. Once her ascended form awakened her connection was immediate, her people looked to her for guidance once more, and the diety of the forest was born.
