Ernasis is the Goddess of War and Courage who founded the kingdom of Kounat with mankind alongside the deities Lisnar and Amenias.
Background
Ernasis is one of Aernas' Three Goddesses who led the creation of the world. The world was named after Ernasis, the representative god who had first arrived in the world. The gods descended on the continent of Archimedia located in the primitive world of Aernas and selected those with bravery and creativity to help them continue the creation of the world.
The gods quickly civilized the primitive humans so that they could be spread throughout the world and deliver their will. Ernasis gifted them with bravery. With these gifts in hand, the humans bravely expanded their territory. Combining their powers, the gods and humans created a civilization at the center of Archimedia and called it Kounat.
As the territory of the Celestials became stabilized, the gods decided to choose a person of excellence among the Celestials as king and establish the Kounat Kingdom. The gods relegated the remaining creation of Aernas to the new leader and the Three Goddesses and left for another planet.
Hearing the news of Heitaros, with his demon troops, advancing into Kounat to first destroy the powerful magic civilization created by the gods, the Three Goddesses, the King of Kounat, and Kounat's troops met the demons at the gates that led into Artione Plains. The Three Goddesses lost most of their powers during the battle with Heitaros and swiftly made a last-ditch effort to seal Dimension's Door and send it back to the Demon World. The goddesses were also weakened and could no longer stay in the world.
Story
End of the World Eclipse
When faced with a crisis caused by the Eclipse, Mari mentioned that they needed the power of the "fourth" Creator Goddess. Sieghart, confused by this statement, asserted that he only knew of Ernasis, Lisnar, and Amenias as the Creator Goddesses.
Land of Judgment
The Three Goddesses voiced discontent with the constant warfare plaguing the world. Recognizing the realms were thrown out of balance, they deemed Aernas a risk and decided it must be destroyed. The Three Goddesses gave the world a final chance to determine its fate, leaving the decision to its inhabitants.
In the sequel
Act 47.3: Enter the Celestial World
Ernasis humbly approached Jupiter to ask him for his time, apologizing that she had to disturb his reunion with Edel. After they left, Edel expressed concern about Ernasis' purpose.
Act 47.4: Looking for Relics
After banishing False God Tepes, Ai revealed that she was the relic of the goddess granted to Aernas by Ernasis. She explained that the holy powers of the relic used against the specter were the Protection System bestowed onto her by Goddess Ernasis.
Act 47.6: Two Look-Alikes
After a confrontation in Underwater Cavern, Edel warned Elesis not to trust Goddess Ernasis. Elesis would then share this information with the rest of the Grand Chase, who were likewise confused about such revelation.
Act 49.3: False God That Feasts on False Gods
Following her defeat, the Nameless Goddess hinted that Elesis possessed an iron will that resembled that of someone she knew—possibly alluding to Ernasis.
Final Chapter 1.1: Evil God's Power
While Kudan bickered over authority, Elesis suddenly lost consciousness and found herself in the presence of Ernasis. The goddess questioned her purpose in the Celestial World with Elesis explaining that an angel stole the Blessing of Aernas. Ernasis realized the knight was after Jupiter but found it odd as her "calling" should not be in pursuit of him. Dismayed that reaching the truth through them all had some limits, the goddess resolved to seek the truth on her own, advising Elesis to cease chasing Jupiter. But to her surprise, the knight defied her wishes, and there, Ernasis learned that Edel may have already warned Elesis against her, seemingly unhappy by it since she had thought the knight would never doubt the goddess.
When they came across what seemed to be Valhalla Warriors in the Sinking Temple, Elesis informed the Grand Chase that she had previously spoken with Goddess Ernasis, and, from that, she was able to discern that those Highlanders with strange appearances already became minions of the Evil God who had grown stronger.
Final Chapter 1.2: Moon's Ancient Name
When the Evil God, Anhur, mocked the Grand Chase for not knowing the Nameless Goddess' true identity as he refused to let go of her body, Elesis hesitated to reveal the name of the False God, conflicted by her recent encounter with Ernasis.
In their previous conversation, Ernasis learned that Goddess Deia was unable to carry out her duties in the Lunar Temple, and to maintain the seal on the Evil God, she proposed that Elesis awaken another Lunar Goddess in place of Deia—that being Bastet.
Final Chapter 1.3: Evil God's Seal
When asked to join the Grand Chase to reclaim Deia, Bastet wondered whether those were the words of Ernasis relayed by them. The deity said that she already knew why Ernasis told Elesis her name and understood the knight's choice to awaken her. Declining their offer, Bastet instead requested that they tell the goddess not to rely on her and to return Deia to her rightful place, adding that she would not give up on freedom—even if Ernasis had returned her name.
