====== The WellMet Heroes ====== The [[Sundering]] caused an immense amount of knowledge to be lost among the [[Shards]] and [[aether|The Aether]] that makes up the current universe today, but some stories have survived by word of mouth, or were rescued before they could be lost forever. Legends of heroes who saved the world countless times and prevented catastrophes that may have rivaled The Sundering had they not been stopped by the WellMet heroes. Their names and their stories have shifted as the world too has shifted, but what matters most is that people still look to them for inspiration to become heroes themselves. It's difficult to say how much actual evidence exists of these legendary heroes having ascended to Godhood or amassing enough power to be something adjacent to a God. The most common school of thought is that the stories are simply so moving that people practiced informal rituals and reverence, which eventually evolved into a somewhat formal religion today. Here is a list of the currently worshipped WellMet heroes; * **Anakes:** Tales of this hero are varied, some claiming him to have been a master of manipulation, while others firmly believe he was one of the most simple and well-meaning heroes of them all. **Domain(s): Trickery** * **Eilac:** This hero used her control over death to alter fate, and inspires many up-and-coming necromancers and healers to this day. **Domain(s): Grave** * **Geryss:** Many stories of hairbrained schemes and a supposed inability to ever be struck by a blade follow this hero, and many still seek the blueprints of his legendary impenetrable armor. **Domain(s): Forge** * **Ingirix:** Many fear this hero's legendary tales of incredible violence, but others see a hero who became one in search of purpose, creating a better world along the way. **Domain(s): Peace** * **Jinil:** Conflicting stories paint this hero- or heroes, by some accounts -in a variety of lights, both good and bad, light and dark, with followers seeing that as two sides of one coin. **Domain(s): War** * **Lovon:** This hero's story is one that demands his followers to seek out truth, always bringing corrupt actions to light. **Domain(s): Light** * **Nylartus:** This hero's followers seek to become one with nature like she once did, channeling the endlessly powerful primordial forces in order to bring about real change. **Domain(s): Nature** * **Nystyn:** In darkness, there is refuge, and this hero has embraced a life in the shadows in order to bring light to the lives of others. **Domain(s): Twilight** * **Ollan:** Legends going back ages before the rest of the WellMet heroes follow this one, a man who has defied time and space to put the pieces of the world back together again. **Domain(s): Order** * **Ren'leer:** A hero that embodies all that one should be, with a brave heart, sharp mind, and an unrelenting desire to right the wrongs of those who came before her. **Domain(s): Tempest** * **Tyor:** Tales like this hero's have been told time and time again, but always bear repeating; the most impressive deeds are brought about by a good heart. **Domain(s): Life** * **Wrack-eye:** Bending the Weave to one's will takes immense skill, which is why people have looked to this hero and tales of his magical prowess as something to aspire to. **Domain(s): Arcana** * **Zaiheiros:** Followers of this hero are those who believe in the pursuit of knowledge regardless of the price, seeing the value in making the unknown, known. **Domain(s): Knowledge**
