	Now with three Ruby Hearts in their possession, Thrya and Glasya traveled to Hellmar to perform the ritual. But to her horror, Thrya stopped receiving visions from the Shattered Mountain. Since Mammon was captured and could no longer pose as the goddess, Thrya no longer received visions and began to panic, making to easier for Glasya to worm her way into Thrya's good graces. Thrya's actions became more aggressive, which eventually drove away Stratia Nimbus, the only other surviving member of the Ordained. Stratia believed they were violating their goddess' teaching by allying with Glasya, and so forsook Thrya's crusade.

	=== Stratia Nimbus ===		=== Stratia Nimbus ===
			Stratia Nimbus was born to a noble cloud giant family in the [[Fiddlehead Mountains]] of [[Pteris]]. But tragically Stratia was born blind, and so was hidden by her family from the rest of the world. Stratia grew up in isolation, growing to resent her family and the rest of the giants in the mountains for staying away from her. Eventually she could talk no more of her imprisonment and so fled her family, quickly getting lost in the mountains. Stratia would have perished in the wilderness if it was not foe thrya Cloudbreaker who arrived and saved her. For this Stratia became one of Thrya's most devoted disciples and was inducted into the Ordained. With Thrya's guidance Stratia crafted the [[Cloud Rune]], a metal blindfold that gave her control and the speed of the wind. But Stratia's vigilance did not go away after being freed from imprisonment, and so she stayed hyper aware of those who sought to control and take advantage of her, slowly over the years turning her devotion of Thrya into suspiscion.

	Hrothgar Icevein is a [[Frost Giant]] Druid hailing from the frozen mountains of [[Breme]]. For many years their tribe lived in peace until overhunting from nearby humanoid villages began to make food more and more scarce. While the clan wanted to move deeper into the mountains, Hrothgar refused to surrender and instead chose to fight back. He began to raid humanoid villages bordering the mountains and became feared across the region. Eventually, the villages were able to mount a strong defense, horrifically wounding Hrothgar and forcing him to flee into a nearby cave. Here he expected he would die, but before that could happen, he was visited by Thrya Cloudbreaker, who promised him a chance at revenge. Hrothgar was inducted into the Ordained and with Thrya's guidance, created the Frost Rune which imbued his staff with power over snow and storms and allowed him to create monstrous constructs out of ice.

	Sometime around the late 600s [[PR]], a [[Storm Giant]] member of the cult, Thrya Cloudbreaker, recieved a vision from the Shattered Mountain.

	After receiving this vision, Othea began to travel across the planes and found five other giants to serve as the Shattered Mountain's Champions. Together these giant champions would become known as the ordained, with Thrya as their leader. Thrya continued to receive visions from the Shattered Mountain, and with her goddess' guidance, Thrya showed each member of the Ordained how to draw power from the Shattered Mountain and create [[Paragon_Protocol/Magic_Items#Runes_of_the_Shattered_Mountain\|runes of great power]].

These runes amplified their current abilities, but also made them immune to the attack and spells of any [[Devil]] who drew their power from the [[Ruby Rod]].

	Now imbued with their goddess' power, the Ordained began to travel the planes, reuniting the many sects of the cult under one banner. During this time they would also serve as mercenaries within the Elemental Planes in order to gather enough power, allies, and resources for their future operations.

	Guided by Thrya's visions, the Ordained executed a plan to free their goddess. First the Ordained made contact with the [[Demon Lords\|Demon Lord]] [[Ratatrosk]] and petitioned him for help in killing [[Charon]], the ferryman of the [[The River Styx\|River Styx]], since [[Demon\|demons]] were one of the few creatures able to kill Charon. With Ratatrosk's help the Ordained killed Charon before Ratatrosk then used Charon's oar to stop the flow of the River Styx, causing the River Styx to disappear. Then to prevent anyone from undoing what they had done, the Ordained used the magic of their runes to destroy Charon's oar. With the River Styx gone, the remains of their goddess were unbound and ejected into the [[Ethereal Plane]]. Lastly to cover up lose ends, the Ordained attempted to kill Ratatrosk, but the Demon Lord managed to escape.		Guided by Thrya's visions, the Ordained executed a plan to free their goddess.
