[QUOTE="RoughCoronet0, post: 9316202, member: 7031665"] Another redo of a deity I have already done, I wanted to get some better pictures for her since she is growing more important in the campaign I'm running (Well, her corrupted form is anyways). Mephilia, also known as The Platinum Valkyrie and the Lustrous Warrior, is the Celestial Paragon Goddess of battle, bravery, loyalty, vigilance, and is the patron deity of metallic dragons. She is often depicted as a massive and regal dragon with brilliant platinum scales, piercing blue eyes, a mane of soft and white feather-like frills, a long and dexterous tail, and sharp metallic spines, horns, and plating that makes the Lustrous Warrior appear to be wearing metal armor at all times. These metallic parts are said to be able to grow and fully cover Mephilia's entire form like a suit of full plate, protecting her from the greatest of physical threats. The Platinum Valkyrie is the leader of the Celestial Paragon's divine army which act as protectors of the innocent and the warriors of light and ideals. She doesn't expect all of her mortal followers to be warriors, but she does instill in all of them the virtues of courage, loyalty, and bravery through her teachings, and to always be vigilant of the evils that creep at the fringes of the world waiting to cause destruction and harm. So great is The Lustrous Warrior's desire to protect Salvera and her mortal inhabitants and to hunt down those who wish to bring the plane to ruin, that she commands her forces from the front lines, actively fighting against even the most malignant of demonic forces and the most maddening of aberrant incursions. When not in direct conflict, she is honing her skills and acting as a guide and advisor to those that seek her counsel. She maintains good relations with Zath'taron, the Arch-Devil God of leadership, war, and conquest, and the two have been known to fight side by side on occasion. She is also good friends with Rhyenari, the Shadow Lord Goddess of competition, strength, and glory, and the two have been known to spar with each other to keep their battle instincts sharp. Unlike her father Bahamut and is enmity to Tiamat and her chromatic ilk, Mephilia has a good relationship with her chromatic cousin Zarkator, and will accept any chromatic dragon that wishes to follow her teachings into her fold and respect any of her metallic children that choose to follow another deity's dominion so long as they show the same fervor and loyalty to them as she expect her followers to show to her and her cause. One of the most striking features of the Platinum Valkyrie isn't so much the goddess herself, but the platoon of magical flying swords that she commands. In battle, these swords swing around, striking at foes and parrying attacks meant for the goddess or her soldiers in the vicinity of the sword's swarming range. Each sword in her arsenal is wholly unique to the others, and it is not fully known if these swords are controlled by Mephilia herself, or have a true consciousness of their own and follow her orders either through silent commands or through a hive mind like system. Due to the mysteries surrounding the swords, various myths and legends about them have been spread by the various sects of Mephilia's followers.
