OHKAY!! let us discuss erygora. this will take some time as there are literally billions of years of history and be very confusing as there are literally billions of years of history. plus I am a chronic yapper.
this is my main oc collection (the poera mythos) which stems from my immersive daydreaming (started aged 7) and exists purely as a convoluted vehicle for me to torture fictional women in my mind. there are a lot of them but I think about the weird sex evil gods a lot. (side note they are not women they are gods who just. look like women because I made Erykwana when I was like 10 and Gora when I was 13. insanity. we will call them majaerajji and use she/her)
there is. a lot of lore since I've been living part-time in this universe (triverse. there are three) for 9 years (scary!!). but I will (try) give only necessary info. also pls don't worry about how to pronounce any of it.
there are three universes. two are for mortals, one is much smaller and for the Gods. these universes were created by the Feqa (literally translated as 'Creator') who you don't need to worry about. The Feqa also created two kinds of Gods to 'take care' of the triverse. these are the lumadiimi (gods of concepts) who you don't need to worry about and the majaerajji (gods of 'elements' as in like the arcane elements but I really stretch the definition of that by the end) who you do need to worry about.
there are 4 different majaerajji for each element (so. eg 4 majaerajji for water), and these majaerajji are sorted into four clans, with one majaerajji for each element in each. so every clan has one majaerajji of water, one majaerajji of air etc etc. are you keeping up I promise this is relevant.
you need only worry about two of these clans: the mraninia-csora (gilded clan) and vryciila-csora (burnished clan). the mraninia were chosen by the Feqa to 'rule' over the triverse and be regarded as above the other majaerajji (the Feqa impose a strict hierarchy of beings. remember this because it will be important later). since all majaerajji are referred to as 'queens' eg. gilded queen of fire, the ruling clan are referred to as 'high queens' eg. high queen of earth. notice I say 'ruling clan' not specifically the mraninia-csora. this is foreshadowing.
one of the majaerajji elements is 'matter'. this is essentially control over particles ranging in size from quarks/leptons/other fundamental particles etc to large monomers (not polymers!!). majaerajji of matter can do cool stuff like break/form atomic bonds, do nuclear fusion/fission on command etc (this is where. head exploding comes from). anyway.
actually talking about the weird sex evil gods:
the majaerajji of matter in the mraninia-csora is Erykwana. the majaerajji of matter in the vryciila-csora is Gora (yes I know shut up).
I will now talk at length about their characters because goddamnit I didn't do all that development for nothing.
most of Erykwana's beliefs etc come from her very very strong belief in the heirarchy set out by the Feqa. the only thing you need to know about this is that it places majaerajji above humans. boy does she internalise this. this bitch does not give a single fuck about mortals and she never has. this means she feels zero shame about anything she's done. speaking of which:
most of Erykwana's actions etc (in the Stability Epoch anyway. oop what's that) come from her being a massive sadist and weirdo who likes to torture people.
in the Stability Epoch (beginning of time - about 400 years ago) Erykwana would go down to mortal worlds, eat chunks off people (majaerajji do not need to eat in fact they do not digest things. everything they eat they permanently destroy. she enjoyed the feeling of perma-destroying stuff because she was an immortal god with not enough enrichment in her unchanging existence. fun fact.), blow up their heads and kidnap them back to the Gods' universe. this is where Gora comes (haha) into the picture:
ignore the name🤗🤗 thank you. anyway I think it's funny.
Gora was also an artist in a similar way to Erykwana: while Erykwana's art was broken bodies/screams, Gora's art was broken minds. she liked to see people break and took it as a challenge to break down the strongest most resilient people.
Gora and Erykwana spent almost every second of every day together and they don't even need to sleep so you know it was every day bro!! wow. lots of people died during this time (like. hundreds of billions. it's crayzy)
but why would Gora stick around Erykwana when they had different art styles. haha.
I'm glad you asked!! there are two reasons for this:
all the other majaerajji are actually not awful (debatable. in fact probably untrue). anyway so they did not want to be friends with either of them and really really hated/excluded them both. Erykwana and Gora were viewed as one entity with no differences between them (untrue!!) and this kind of. pushed them further together because (and this is important) they were the only people who could ever fully understand the other!!
this is very important also!! Gora wanted to be Erykwana. the desire consumed her. she resented Erykwana for existing because if Erykwana was Erykwana.. then Gora wasn't. if that makes sense. Gora was absolutely obsessed with Erykwana and spent all her time trying to emulate her in many ways
Klla (the beginning of the end):
Erykwana was looking for a new shiny enrichment torture method which would make people really really scream. she pitched the idea to Gora and they started to create Klla.
Klla was a spell which was embedded in a knife. it would cause indescribable pain (like. literally the worst ever possible I can't convey to you.. anyway this 1/2 of how I torture the fictional women) to the victim without leaving a physical mark (the knife just. passes through. this is what appeals to Gora). anyway you don't need to know much except that a) the spell is in two parts, the first part allows the knife to be used as Klla and the second part 'activates' it so the next time the knife goes into someone it will begin the Klla process in them😈 so the knife functions as a normal knife between the first and second parts of the spell. this is irrelevant beyond when Erykwana and Gora are just regular stabbing each other. b) it's contagious heehee so if you touch someone who's just been stabbed then the process begins in you too😈 anyway none of this is particularly important but it's useful context if you. read my stuff
Klla was the ACTUAL last straw for the majaerajji who had just been chilling up until now. most of them thought it was 100% Erykwana (it was like. 90% but still).
it especially pissed off a certain member of the vryciila-csora (remember? the family Gora is in? I'm crying there's so much of this) who will not be named, who then went to her sister (also unnamed) and they decided to overthrow the entire mraninia-csora (remember?? the ruling family that Erykwana is in???)
I won't go into detail about the LVD/etc etc because it's irrelevant but you do need to know that they approached Gora in the early stages of their plotting and she was jumping for joy!! at the possibility of usurping Erykwana because that was one step closer to fully becoming her..
ok you don't need to know anything about the last violet dance/Big War beyond that Erykwana used the Klla knife on Gora first. anyway fun fact.
Klle (a different thing!!):
during the Big War (name pending) Erykwana emotionally manipulated her pathetic spineless wet wipe sister into helping her make a new weapon to use in the war.
this new weapon was Klle, which is basically the mental equivalent of Klla. (no details that's far too deep in my own brain)
I mention Klle even though they never use it on each other because it's the obvious second part to Klla right? like Erykwana = Klla, Gora = Klle. Klle is what they would've eventually made together if the Big War had never happened. and Erykwana (subconsciously-ish) made it for her. anyway. GOD I miss them.
what happened next: the ACTUALLY ACTUALLY relevant bit
sorry about all the shit you've had to read that didn't really matter. um.
well, Erykwana/her family lost the war and the vryciila-csora became High Queens. so Gora is now High Queen of matter. there's a fuck tonne of other stuff this caused but there's no need to worry about that
Gora being High Queen continues to deeply piss of Erykwana since it is so flagrantly in opposition to the natural order set out by the Feqa, which intended for Erykwana to be High Queen.
and so Erykwana has become genuinely obsessed with the idea of killing Gora forever (difficult since Gora is. an immortal god. but hey go off queen) side info: she's committed to the idea of remembering Gora's final scream forever and ever because she can't fathom existing without Gora by her side in. some capacity. Erykwana derives immense psychosexual pleasure from hurting Gora. this is why there's all the torture sex with the knife they made together... the bridge between them.. the child of divorce..
Gora is of course still obsessed with becoming Erykwana etc etc. and also gets a definitely psychosexual pleasure from doing to Erykwana everything that Erykwana has done to her and doing to herself everything she's done to Erykwana (including torture because. she's number 1 committed to the bit) as a form of symmetry. you know. that's why she's returning all the knife torture sex.
