-From the starlit void beyond the clouds, Omei watches the world.
+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. She was catastrophically wounded in the battle with [[Odravh]], and Her whereabouts are currently unknown.

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.
