So I saw a post about the gods. And I also did a little googling. So Nyx is actually a Greek primordial deity. And she is the goddess of water and night. But would that make sense?? Journey into Nyx and having a Nyx god??

👆👍👌

You also have to remember that the set is Greek mythology INSPIRED. It is not canon to actual Greek mythology, but rather their own mythology with Greek flavor.

NYX was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). In the cosmogony of Hesiod she was born of Air (Khaos), and breeding with Darkness (EREBOS <---) produced Light (Aither) and Day (Hemera), first components of the primeval universe. Alone, she spawned a brood of dark spirits, including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife and Pain.

Nyx was a primeval goddess usually represented as simply the substance of night: a dark veil of mist drawn forth from the underworld which blotted out the light of Aither (shining upper atmosphere). Her opposite number was Hemera (Day), who scattered the mists of night, or Eos, the goddess of the dawn.

In ancient art Nyx was portrayed as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mist.

So Nyx is a goddess...not a place. In mtg it's different though.

Is it possible she's the blonde woman on the huge playmat at stores? You know pouring water out of the golden urn looking like Aphrodite

Nyx is also the goddess of vampires. :)
