Omei is the Goddess who governs the realm of dreams. She is said to have given the mortal races their emotions, effectively making them more than mere animals. In the guise of a great werewolf, She considers Herself the patron Goddess of all shapeshifters.

Origin

For more information on this section read "Awakening the Dreamer".

Omei was awakened during a violent ritual in the Itzatl, brought upon by Klaana and the adventurers who had come to her call.

Finding a new vessel

For more information on this section read "On Oneiromancy, and a Boy's Godhood".

In 419 MA, Omei attempted to take the mortal Cannan as a new vessel. Holding the possession as a ceremony in Tecpatl's Cradle, She filled his body and urged him to slay his companions and other onlookers as a blood sacrifice. Though he was able to expend Her power as if it were his own, his body and will were unable to accommodate the Goddess, and he was killed, expelling Omei in the process.

Later that year, a pair of Lycanthropic treasure hunters, Eiger and Early Sindele, manned an expedition with numerous Aetolians to pry open the tower in Tecpatl's Cradle with the barely-concealed intention of robbing it. Bypassing a series of bronze hatches, the group made their way to the top of the tower, where they found Omei's essence swirling in a void. Omei pleaded with the group to leave Her alone and let Her die, but Eiger, motivated by greed, tried to ransack the room, and was killed by the Goddess.

Omei's essence streamed into the werewolf on contact, instilling it and forming a new vessel. This event marks a paradigm shift for Omei, who uses the honorific of Beast Queen from this point forward.
