Goddess of Order and Balance

Birth of Morality
The natural balance and order of the world is a subtle sensation all creatures feel even if it is neither seen nor heard. It was not always so. In religious text and recordings, tales speak of the time when Grim’s creatures roamed the world murdering mortals and perverting the land. When the Goddess Simone sacrificed her seed in exchange for binding away her brother’s minions, Enigma was born. First child of Jasmine and Esmeralda, Enigma was given the power to ensure equality throughout the world. By her will, the hearts of people were changed. Within each mortal born upon the world a seed of goodness to combat the perversion which had seeped from Grim’s realm was placed. In so doing, she gave women and men alike the ability to choose between good and evil.

True to Her Name
Common fables depict Enigma as a child, though many scholars today believe she resembles a teenage youth of long silver hair, tanned skin, and black eyes. Artistic representations frame her as a girl dressed in a loose robe holding a scale in one hand and a small feather in the other. On the one scale is a seed, but in the other lies nothing. Most artists paint her with a cryptic expression befitting of her name, one which smiles and alternatively serious.

A Tribute to Neutrality
As is the nature of mortals, Enigma is claimed to be neither inherently good nor bad. She is often referred in tales as a judge and mediator, never too sympathetic to any cause. Her character itself is considered mysterious as she is rarely mirthful but not melancholy. Poets describe her various appearances in history as ‘wrathful’. In times of perilous war or strife she would descend from the heavens and strike down members of either side to balance the losses. To each side she spoke no words nor explained her actions, though many consider her appearances as a means to balance loss.
