Arai

Overview
The Fallen Queen, Arai was the first of the Dragon gods and creator of the race of Corrupted, her loyal minions. She is the aspect of Power and represents the connection her and her siblings share with the Void, giving her a certain dominance over them. Far and away the strongest of the Gods, Arai opposed the idea of Natural life, or any life not guided by Divine Intervention.

The Marked One
The Marked One (Many other names are used as well) is the mortal Vessel that is used to contain the Goddess Arai so she is unable to cause undue harm. It was created as a last-ditch effort to confine the Queen without killing her. The Ancient Nordic Humans devised a charm that would be tattooed onto a newborns flesh, acting as a trap to bind the Queen in human form. When the current Marked One is killed or otherwise is unable to contain the soul anymore, it is destroyed, releasing the soul to inhabit a new host. While the Queen doesn't have a direct control over her host, she is able to communicate to them through the Void. The ritual for binding the Queen will last only as long as there is a direct descendant of the bloodline that originally bound her. If all descendants were to die, the Queen would be able to manifest once again in her immortal form.
