 Nethys is said to have been a mortal who learned more about magic and replaced, or possibly merged with the prior Aspect of the Role.  One source implies it was connected to Tiamat’s ascension and the prior aspect was a Regent, and possibly evil.  His split nature serves as lesson about the potential of the Arcane for both good and evil.\\ Nethys is said to have been a mortal who learned more about magic and replaced, or possibly merged with the prior Aspect of the Role.  One source implies it was connected to Tiamat’s ascension and the prior aspect was a Regent, and possibly evil.  His split nature serves as lesson about the potential of the Arcane for both good and evil.\\

 +A lost goddess recently (re)discovered.  Her prior Role is vague, possibly as high as Regent of Great Waters maybe a member of the Court of Earth, she's not really saying.  But some great power caused her disappearance, triggering what appears to be the first shifting of roles.  While most land dwellers in the known world are still unaware, there were small pockets of lingering believers among mer-people, and tiny rituals among sailors that didn't quite connect to known deities.
