Thousand Cities:Klesthes

Klesthes, The Golden Queen

History

Klesthes is the goddess of Beauty and wife to Yedan. She shares in his rulership of the Gods of the Cerulean Host. Klesthes is a somewhat vain woman, and is often taken to be foolish. However, she is keenly aware of how the relationships of her immortal subjects stand, and is quite capable of using her knowlege to her own ends.

Klesthes and Yedan

Klesthes was always faithful to her husband, despite the fact that he was in no way loyal to her, until he set her aside to marry another woman for a while. She has always retained her place as ruler of the Gods and resumed her place as his wife when he left Seyanne. She has not born any of his children since that time, despite Yedan's rumoured virility.

Klesthes and Emrill

Klesthes' greatest pleasure is in her grandson, Emrill. She keeps him near her at the Celestial Palace. He sometimes goes to visit the mortal realm with his father Dauvion, but Klesthes doesn't like the influence this has on him and doesn't let him stay away for long.

Klesthes and Parthos

Klesthes intervened in a challenge between a powerful mortal,Parthos and one of the Gods. She was charmed by his youthfulness and good looks and decided to help him win a fight he would otherwise have lost. Klesthes ceded some of her power to him. Parthos is now her acknowledged lover and part of the Cerulean Host.
