Metaphysical Origins

As discovered by Matsuo Shin, during the Silver Millennium, a certain group of Earthlings (known collectively as Millianians) took to worshiping the royal families and specifically the Princesses of the other worlds as goddesses. After the fall, this group's specific beliefs began to spread, though under other names and their power of worship was so strong that it gave birth to these beings as separate deities in their own right, though retroactivity as well existing under their own origins. Qeinoss was one such being, who was born from the memory of the Princess of Quinox, who's worship later moved to the fertile crescent becoming the god Enlil before worshipers moved into the Grecian archipelago. Her worship was found within what is now known as Thessaly and while there are theories that she might have been introduced during the Minoan period, it was now known that she was a worshiped, if somewhat minor, goddess during the Mycenaean period. Her worship however began to decline during the latter parts of that point in history before completely snuffing out during the dark ages and being almost completely forgotten.

Mythological Origins

The following is based off two incomplete Hymns to Qeinoss as well as other conjunctions gathered from numerous sources.

During a time when Hyperion went on a great journey across the heavens, Thelia, his consort, encountered Phainon, the wandering star. The two fell in love and gave into one another but Phainon could not stay and fled once more into the heavenly sphere.

Later, Thelia gave birth to the goddess Qeinoss and though she was not of his blood, Hyperion claimed the girl as his own daughter and she was much beloved by him and his other children. She [REST IS MISSING. MAY BE FILLED IN LATER ONCE INFORMATION IS RESTORED].

Re-Awakening

In 2019, a group of men sought out what had been rumored to be valuable artifacts hidden in the wilderness of Thessaly, Greece. Murdering an old man who's family had lived on the land for generations, the three managed to dig out the ruins of a small temple over a period of several days. One of the men, reading the name of Qeinoss out loud on a piece of stone, inadvertently awoke the long sleeping goddess. However, due to her worship having been long gone (her line of priestesses having died out centuries ago) and with all stories of her forgotten, the deity returned as a half formed feral creature, which soon made it's way to Larissa.

She was soon met however by forces belonging to The Hotel, including Matsumi Kaze. During the attempted battle, Matsumi and Qeinoss both weakened, as the metaphysical instability began to affect both of them. In a desperate attempt to save his sister's life, Matsuo Shin along with a team of heroes from The Hotel traveled through time, attempting to discover the source of all their troubles. Time soon began to run out as the feral Qeinoss revived and made her way to Tokyo. With the help of the knowledge they had gained, along with re-connecting with her metaphysical source, Qeinoss stabilized, once more becoming the goddess she had been known to be before. With Kore's help, she soon got in contact with the remaining gods and goddesses, who had formed the New Greek Paradigm. Thanking the Hotel members for their help, Qeinoss left to try and re-connect with everything she had lost.

The Goddess is Back

Qeinoss now lives in Olympus, still finding her way in the new home of the gods and goddesses. She has since abandoned her former Mycenaean trappings, replacing it with a more Greek, modern identity for herself. As well, she has been rather stunned to learn that her worship has begun to blossom once more, thanks in part to the paper that Matsuo wrote as well as internet culture picking up on her obscurity.

Random Information

  • Qeinoss is not to be mistaken for Aether, the personification of heavenly air, though Aether may have been a epithet of hers at one point.
  • The one other epithet known is mentioned in the Hymn: Qeinoss Fíltatos
  • While a separate being in her own right, Qeinoss still has some fondness for Matsumi Kaze and has put her unofficially under her protection.
  • Her most commonly accepted sacrifice is birds, butterflies and moths though she will accept a mere feather as perfectly good sacrifice.
  • As one of the Mycenaean deites, she is most likely one of the oldest ones to be worshipped at some point in Greece, though this does not affect her status or powers in any way.
  • There are very few artworks depicting Qeinoss due to her obscurity. Matsuo Shin has so far only recovered a broken statute and some shattered wall art which showcases her in any means. He has theorized that she may have been more widely worshipped at one time but that her sky goddess status (sky deities were not popular in Mycenaean times) as well as other factors may have resulted in her worship shrinking her down to a more local deity towards the latter part of the time period.
