Shakti(Goddess of Illusion)

Shakti is the goddess of Illusion, born of the union of Ius(God of the Moon) and Vistrix(Goddess of Chaos). The favorite child of the Moon, Shakti was the byproduct of Vistrix's deception and Ius's trickery. As the two danced the world beneath them shifted and waved as their dance was hidden by their divinity. From this magical ward came the Goddess of Illusion herself, born to protect her father and mother's forbidden tryst. When the God of Order was born, Shakti bore instant resentment of him and sought only to hide as much from his oppressive view as possible. Wanting to protect her father, she changed his form constantly, such that he never appeared the same from each night to the next. This allowed the trixter god to plan his machinations far from the view of his family.

Though Shakti lived to serve her father, the Goddess of Illusion was far from passive, gifting many of her worshipers with a semblance of the ability to shape the world to their desires. The fact that her illusions could only ever conceal and imitate reality grated her to no end and fostered an intense resentment towards Radia(Goddess of Will). Shakti visited the world of mortals often, and developed a large group of loyal followers. Those most fervent among them shared in her ability to mask the world and shape it to their whims. These worshipers often went on to become criminals and con men of legendary ability. The same is true for the many demigods Shakti mothered.

As the Godswar came to fruition, Shakti saw in it the opportunity to finally be rid of the object of her hated. Shakti took on Radia in single combat, finally pitting the power to manipulate the real and the power to deceive. In the end, it was Radia's arrogance that led to her downfall, as a subtle illusion cast by Shakti caused the Goddess of Will to erase one of her most prominent temples, and her worshippers along with it.The loss of this source of power for her was too much to bear, and she succumbed to Shakti's onslaught. Though she reveled in her victory, the Goddess of Illusions had used up too much of her own power, and soon faded from existence.
