==Appearance and Personality==
Empyrea is a mauve eagle with trailing tail-feathers and two long quills extending from the back of her head. Her eyes are a deep green with black pupils.
Empyrea is a large mauve eagle with a mantle of light blue feathers around her neck, trailing tail-feathers, and two long quills extending from the back of her head. Her eyes are a deep green with black pupils. She is strong enough to carry all four members of the party on her back, along with the wagon and Princess [[Medea]] in tow with ease.


With her regal appearance and syntax, Empyrea has the air of a queen. She has a strong sense of justice, causing her to join in the battle against Rhapthorne and his horde and keep watch over the village of dark [[Empycchu]]. Empyrea is a very considerate being, urging the protagonists to harbor no guilt when she believed that ruin had befallen her child, as well as making sure to cause no harm to the villagers of dark Empycchu when she is forced to do the bidding of evil. Empyrea is also humble, uncomfortable with the title of "Godbird" that the villagers bestowed her.

In the distant past, Empyrea assisted the [[Seven Sages]] in creating the [[Godbird Sceptre]] and sealing away the demon Rhapthorne within it during their battle in the dark world. While the sages returned to the world of light with the sceptre, Empyrea was exhausted from the battle and rested in what would later be known as the dark world's Empycchu. She would remain there after recovering, watching over the islanders with whom she shared her new roost. Her shadow would be cast on the ground in the world of light whenever she flew.

Many years later, Empyrea had laid an egg on her [[Godbird's Eyrie|eyrie]] near dark Empycchu. The egg, however, was held hostage by Rhapthorne's agent [[Gemon]]. With her unborn child held ransom, she was forced to assault dark Empycchu at Gemon's command, terrorizing the villagers and damaging several buildings. Even under these dire circumstances, Empyrea was careful to not harm any of the villagers directly and avoided children entirely during her raids, only lightly ripping their communal hut. The village chief and the blacksmith observed that Empyrea looked hesitant and remorseful during the assault, leading them to question what was actually happening while the other adults were left fearful.
