Melpomene
Melpomene was the result of the rape of Orestea, Goddess of Rain, by Gyges, God of Thunder, during one of his legendary rages. Melpomene has since forgiven her father of his rage and acts as something of an intermediary between her parents. Though she was once consort to Ophion, God of the Sun, the two went their separate ways when he started chasing his current consort, Luna. Melpomene and Ophion are now bitter enemies as she tries to block the Light of Truth that he carries for Ptharos from reaching the people of the world.
As Jomaera the Ever-Changing, Melpomene is the Duchess of Mystery of Transmutation. In this form, she is typically depicted as a woman with a featureless face.
Though respected as a Duke of Mystery, Melpomene is not often worshiped directly and her clergy is extremely small. Some messengers choose Melpomene as their patron and she has taken it upon herself to care for mothers, despite being estranged from her own child, Picus, God of Birds.
