Long before the Olympians ruled from their thrones on Mount Olympus, the cosmos was shaped by older forces — vast, silent, and unknowable.
These were the Primordial Deities or Protogenoi: the first powers of existence, embodying fundamental aspects of reality itself.
And out of the first void came something deeper than shadow. A presence, not just of absence, but of power. She wasn’t the goddess of one place or domain. She didn’t rule the sea or the sky. She simply was — there before the stars, before time, before anything had a name.
Even Zeus, king of the gods, knew better than to cross her.
Because this wasn’t just nightfall.
It was Night itself.
