Mortem Was Created By The Founding Goddess Scitpmnes Of Caleum And Calcom.
Mortem was created by the founding goddess Scitpmnes of Caleum and Calcom.
Mortem was the fifth god created.
She’s the goddess of death and despair.
Scitpmnes created Mortem to balace out life on Calcom.
Yet the people of Calcom grew to fear Mortem and didn’t praise her the way they did the other gods. So Mortem grew to hate the people of the island and brought them hardship.
Out of anger, Mortem created what we now know as the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Bellum ( War ), Fames ( Famine ), Morbus ( Pestilence ) and Caedes ( Death ). In Calcom they’re seen as minor gods and are Mortem’s children.
Mortem made the four horsemen out of human remains, jewels from Inferos, and branches from the Tree of Ages.
Because of her defiance against life itself, Scritpmnes created another goddess to even out Mortem, and that was Amare, the goddess of life and love.
Mortem was outraged with Amare’s creation and sought out to bring harm to the other goddess.
With Amare not being the fighting type, rather the kind to flee at any sign of danger, Mortem used this to her advantage, constantly catching Amare off guard in order to mentally torture her.
When Mortem had noticed that Amare had fallen in love with a human named Cor, she sent a snake to kill him while he worked in the fields.
Amare had been watching him as he was doing this and witnessed him die, she was devastated by his death. He was her favorite patron.
Scitpmnes grew tired of Mortem’s antics and banished her to Inferos, where she remains to this day.

Also note that the only Hela I will be writing with is @helcaged
helcaged:
@conviolo sent : “ it's all going according to plan. ”
dark lips pull into a wolf-like grin, gazing out across the shining beacon that is asgard. this is where she belongs, where they belong. her brother’s foolishness is unfortunate — a son of odin could have been a valuable tool, but he’d made his choice when he attempted to use mjölnir, of all things, against her. that she is not alone in her triumph is thrilling. mortem, by her side as she should always be.
“ it is — and it shouldn’t take long for the people to settle, without the princes. ” venom creeps into her tone, something wild glinting in icy eyes. she’d known that odin would replace her, but that hardly made facing those boys any less insulting.
her face softens as she turns back to mortem, chilled fingers reaching for the other goddess. “ we will bring asgard to the height of its potential, accomplish what my father was too much of a coward to reach for. ”
She had waited centuries for this moment. To be in the presence of her love without being shackled in the depths of Inferos, she no longer stood before the mirage of Hela that played over and over, recreating her fall by Odin’s hands. The sight that shook her to her very core was gone, and it was replaced with more than she could ever hope for. Fenris was able to roam once more, now with the company of the Equitim that Mortem had created with a pieces of her horns and Hela’s blade. Beautiful things of complete descruction they were, and did they want to do what they did best, yet their time would come.
When Hela had broken her chains, the sudden rush of exhilaration was unmatched, they couldn’t have their moment then, for they had work to do. With the princes gone, their dream could become a reality. Asgard no longer had ( false ) gods ruling them, Sciptmnes once told her that men shouldn’t be in charge, it was the women who deserved to rule, and now she understood why. Under Loki’s fabricated persona of Odin, the realms had grown restless, they needed to be put in their place.
When Hela turns her way, Mortem’s heart pitters and it patters, ready to burst from her chest. Her finger’s entwine with her woman’s, a smile creeping across her features, and who said a goddess of death couldn’t fall in love? ❝ Men are foolish, he let the glory you brought to Asgard fade away, denying the people of your legacy, the act alone was a crime to the realm. ❞
