Ather(God of Air)

Ather is the God of Air. Ather is one of the first four Gods who fled to the 4 corners of the universe after the birth of the gods of Life and Death. Ather has not been seen since he and his siblings left the world to their children, and were absent during the Godswar.

Ather took the form of a massive white dragon, the largest of his 3 siblings. Like many of the white dragons that were his spawn, Ather was violent and petty. It is said that his feet have never once touched the earth due to a feud with his brother Ogun(God of Earth), his massive wing beats brewing the worlds first storms. Most winged creatures cant trace their lineage to his influence in the infant world, including birds and creatures acclimated to the highest, coldest regions of Esai.

Early Man would tell stories of Ather's violent outburst, manifesting as the hurricanes and tornadoes that plagued the young world. The wind was made from the beating of his massive wings, and the sound of thunder after lightning was his jaws clamping down on a chosen beast to sustain him.

White dragons, the spawn of Ather, were found in the highest peaks and reaches of Esai. Angry and unintelligent by dragon standards, white dragons were among the smallest of dragonkind, a fact that they constantly overcompensated for. This would often take the form of cruelty towards lesser creatures who they saw as easy prey. White dragons also had exceptionally long memory spans, allowing them to hold grudges for centuries. A powerful white dragon named Evoldar made her home in Ather's Peak before the birth of the goliaths. The tribe of Thunukalagi was responsible for slaying the beast and adopting the mountain peaks as their own home.
