Demosia, was a former goddess of Night and the Occult, in the Long-lost Atlantean Pantheon .
Overview[]
Mysterious sister-wife of Kuros, Demosia almost never interacted with Atlantis directly, though she reportedly saw everything that happened in the depths of night or darkness. Hers was the realm of whispers, secret thoughts and clandestine meetings, and what she learned, she shared only with her husband, Kuros. Elaborate temples to Demosia were built in mountaintop clearings, and those who had problems or guilt often would go on pilgrimage to confess them to the ever-listening but never speaking Scions of this moon Goddess.
Demosia was thought to have an appearance that changed with the face of the moon. At its fullest, she was the most beautiful of Goddesses, but as time progressed, she became horrifically ugly and drew a curtain across the moon's light to prevent anyone from witnessing her change. Under the dark of the moon, her visage was thought to have been terrible enough to strike a man dead should he catch a glimpse of her.
Scions of Demosia were left as babes on the night of a lunar eclipse, given by the Goddess to deserving but barren families to raise. While socially reclusive, Demosia's Scions were often the culture's confidants. Many took vows of silence.
