Often assumed to be a fearsome [[Gods|demigod]] (perhaps the first [[Medusa]]) or the wielder of a destructive curse, *Euryale* is actually a key part of the story of the magical deck's creation." > > "After befriending a princess named [[Asteria]] and spending many years in her dear friend's company, *Euryale* was captured and sentenced to death by [[Asteria]]'s father. [[Asteria]] pleaded with the [[Gods|gods]] to save her friend, and [[Istus]] intervened to help the pair rewrite their story, creating the [[Deck of Many Things]]. The magic of the deck helped the two escape, and they adventured together across the [[Multiverse]]. Eventually, [[Euryale]]-having become an ancient, wise, and powerful [[Druid]]-settled in the [[Outlands]], where she still sometimes acts as a [[Patron]], mentor, or ally for [[Adventurers]]."
