	Gelidia does not speak quickly, nor often. Every word she offers is measured, with long silences between. She does not rage or rejoice, and her presence alone tends to quiet those around her. Mortals in her proximity often find themselves unable to shout, weep, or ~~laugh—they~~ report a feeling like standing inside a snowfall, where even the most urgent thoughts become distant echoes. She is not indifferent to ~~suffering—but~~ views it as inevitable, a season like any other. She teaches that healing is not a return to warmth, but a settling into stillness. She does not cure pain; she preserves it, freezes it in place so it can be studied, endured, and accepted.		Gelidia does not speak quickly, nor often.

	At the height of The Realm War, Severina’s forces laid siege to an [[Orc]] conquered realm called Carthaal. Unknown to Severina, Livia had entered the city under a banner of truce, trying to persuade the Orc leaders to surrender and spare lives on both sides. But confusion or corruption in the chain of command caused the forces of Acrolon to attack. The city fell in a day. Livia was among the dead. Her body was found in a temple courtyard, still clutching the white scepter of truce.		At the height of The Realm War, Severina’s forces laid siege to an [[Orc]] conquered realm called Carthaal.

	Gelidia had no known war form. Her only form was referred to as ''The Still Heart''. This form is a towering (3-10 meter), ethereal woman with alabaster skin and long, ash-white hair that drifts as if underwater. Her eyes are the pale gray of snow clouds, distant and unreadable, framed by faint lines that speak of sleepless centuries. She wears a flowing robe of layered frost-silver silk, patterned like wind-carved snowdrifts. Around her shoulders is a mantle of ice-laced funerary veils, translucent and softly shimmering. A single white sash is tied at her waist, from which hangs the broken hilt of a sword, long frozen into the shape of a snowflake. Her bare feet leave no prints. Snowflakes gather in the air around her, but never touch her skin. Her expression is calm, cold, and ~~unyielding—like~~ the surface of a frozen lake.		Gelidia had no known war form.

	But silence bred doctrine. She wrote a single book: ''Stillness: The End of Fire.'' It described a philosophy of grief without struggle, pain without resistance, and survival without change. It argued that to live was to suffer change, and that only in the refusal to struggle could one be truly free. The book spread rapidly, its teachings birthing the Cult of the White Veil. Their rituals included vows of silence, wearing white funerary garb, and adherence to stoic and pacifist beliefs. The cultists built The Silent Shrine at the foot of the Ice Heart glacier, where a statue of Gelidia still stands in meditation, eyes closed, hands over her mouth.		But silence bred doctrine.

[[Gelidia]] ([[Imperial]], \ˈɡʌˌlɪdiə\) is named for her association with the domain of death. Lore about Nexia is plentiful and accurate, as she has served with many [[Servitors]], [[Heralds]], and [[Gods]] of [[The Integrum]].

=History=

Nexia is one of the few remaining [[Shard Gods]]. She came into existence during [[The Shattering]], when the Gods of the [[Gilded Age]] were sundered into the Gods of the [[Shards]]. She has persisted in The Integrum since ever since The Shattering.

One of her most noted accomplishments in history was the creation of [[The Crucible]] during the early [[Dark Age]], after [[The Fall]] caused the [[Grand Designs]] of [[Spring]] and [[Autumn]] to fail. More at [[The Crucible]].

[[File:nexia-war.png | 400 px | x 600 px | right | border | frame | Nexia in her ''Twin Crown'' form.]]

=Description=

Nexia has two avatars, each with a very different appearance.

Her social avatar, used for peaceful interactions, has a dual appearance. Her form is that of a giant Nor woman, standing anywhere between three and thirty meters in height, at her discretion. Her right half has dark skin and long tendrils of thick black hair. Her left half is that of a pale, withered corpse with long white hair. She wears simple grey robes and wields a staff of living wood that constantly sprouts leaves, grows fruit, and rots in an endless cycle. This avatar is often referred to as ''The Grey Lady''. Her voice is as two, a soft whispered voice and a dry raspy voice.

Her war avatar, called ''Twin Crown Queen'', is terrifying to behold. This form wears armor that is silvered and decorated with motifs of plants on her right side, and star, dark iron on the left. She wears a cloak that is vibrant green on her right side and blood red on the left. She wears a mask that is beautiful porcelain on the right side, and a glowering iron visage on the left. A spectral banner of Spring and Autumn hover over each of her shoulders. Her staff becomes a vicious scythe that drips with life and death magic. The ground and sky seem to split at her presence, one with gentle rain and blooming plants, the other with dark storm clouds and withered earth. Her voice echoes like the inevitability of fate.

=Personality=

As one of the oldest and most powerful Gods in existence, Nexia is extremely confident and authoritative. She is patient and rarely speaks, favoring others to speak for her. While calm and patient, she is known to hold grudges as only an immortal being can. Once under her ire, it is difficult to ever be free of her wrath. She is stern and harsh, expecting others to follow her will to an exacting degree.

=Abilities=

Nexia has the abilities of a full [[Primarch]] of Spring and Autumn, making her possibly the most powerful creature in The Integrum. She is the only creature to be bound to two Divine Focuses of the Grand Designs. Like all Gods, she is unaging and does not need to eat, breath, sleep, or drink. Her body is impervious to harm from disease and poison. Her Divine Focuses gives Nexia tremendous strength, agility, and toughness.

More uniquely, her Divine Focuses grant her power over life and death, which manifests in a variety of ways.
