11.1.21 EVENTRU, CROWN OF THE EXALTED
One of the few remaining Elder Gods of the First Circle, Eventru, Crown
of the Exalted, was once known for His work with the Hamadhi. Both
healers and caretakers of the Half-Formed, those infant Elder Gods that
had not yet reached adulthood when Dynara and Magnora left to search for
the Nameless Son, Eventru was among those of the First Circle to ensure
they were kept within their creche, and later to lend His assistance
during the Elder Wars in the healing of those who took to battle. While
many Elders partake in the love of battle, Eventru has always remained
one of observation and support, stepping to the fore to give directives
and guidance to those who offer aid to the combatants, while staying out
of the vanguard of the charge.
As the traitorous acts of Fain and His followers are always weighing
heavy on His mind, Eventru holds a deep hatred for all things marred by
the Soulless, and often times forbids any from speaking of them in His
presence. As a Leader of Healers, He has always held the belief that the
manipulation of the natural pathways that each Elder God was formed
with, or in the instance of mortals born with, was dangerous at best,
and tantamount to blasphemy at worst. Though He does not hold those who
fan their divine spark in poor light, He most certainly despises those
touched by the Taint or other forms of Soulless corruption, whether
intentional or not.
For those seeking to follow the Crown of the Exalted, He holds them to
four virtues: Loyalty, Courage, Pride and Purity. For without Purity of
the soul and body, one cannot have Pride in themselves. Without Pride in
ones deeds, one cannot have Courage in defending them, and without
Courage, one has but fear and self-loathing, and with fear, there is
only dissent.
