I wanted to add more to this traditional Gaelic myth with a darker more modern cosmic fantasy vibe. Here is the breakdown of her domain and how she connects to the main plot.
The Seat of Power: Ben Nevis & The Well of Life
High above the clouds on the highest peak of Ben Nevis is Beiras throne. Its not built of gold or stone but carved directly out of massive ancient blue glacial ice that never melts keeping her in isolation.
Right next to her throne is the Well of Life. Its essentially a massive fissure leading straight to the core of the earth pulsing with raw, primordial magic that controls the turning of the seasons. Its highly volatile if its ever left unsealed the magical overflow would literally drown the realm which actually happened in her past when a maid named Nessa slacked off creating Loch Ness.
The Sentinels: White Direwolves
Guarding the perimeter of her frost throne is a pack of massive white Direwolves. They have fur that blends seamlessly with the snow and eyes that burn like cold starlight. They function as her personal security detail and if Beira commands it they can literally dissolve into living blizzards to swallow anyone trying to hike up her mountain.
Corag: Her Right-Hand Crow
Perched on her shoulder is Corag a massive, pitch black carrion crow that acts as her familiar and advisor. Corag is cynical has a super gravelly voice and brings a biting, sarcastic wit to the table. He regularly flies down into the mortal realms to scout acting as her eyes and ears to keep her tethered to the changing modern world below.
The Catalyst (Where the comic's main plot kicks off)
Beira is resting on her throne when the Direwolves suddenly bolt upright baring their fangs. Corag takes flight and circles her head.
The howling mountain wind completely dies. Total deafening silence.
Beira presses her palm against the frozen rock of her throne and feels a strange alien tremor. Its a sickening wave of energy smelling of ozone and cosmic ash.
Using her sight she focuses down past the foothills straight into the center of the nearby city. A massive cosmic wormhole is ripping open the sky and she can see a being named Veltar preparing to cross over.
Realizing her entire realm is under threat, she grabs her massive hammer, Órd-mór and heads to the danger.
[Question]
Based on this setup, what kind of first impression would you expect Beira to make when she finally lands in the city streets?
