Ermeeth

Ermeeth, the god of the Circle of Thorns, was a student of Tielekku who sought to impart the secrets of magic to humans, who as magically empowered beings would no longer have a need for gods. A situation the other gods, naturally, deemed intolerable. A conflict erupted between Teilekku and Ermeeth. Teilekku’s faction, led by her most promising pupil Hequat, managed to defeat Ermeeth in a titanic battle. With his surviving followers, Ermeeth fled towards the sea, eventually forming the great city of Oranbega along North America’s east coast. After the discovery of this city, Hequat created the mighty nation of Mu in the mid-Atlantic to counter Ermeeth’s reemerging dark power. In time another climatic battle was fought by Hequat and Ermeeth, wherein Mu was destroyed and Oranbega slowly faded into legend and myth.
