Erathis the Builder

Erathis says "built to last". But the Wall of Gemnos was built over 65 years by more than a million men. And it still crumbled before the dragons.

-The Three, year unknown, place unknown.

Erathis, the Builder

Lawful
Erathis is the god of the land, but also of  structure, civilization, crafting, learning, sages, inventors, lawmakers. He is depicted as an aging, but strong black man with a greying beard.

  • The Church has is divided into two wings, the Inquisitors and the Arbiters. The Arbiters are focused on making the world a better place, by expanding civilization and applying it everywhere.

They do not have an official branch, but instead operate within the church or clandestinely for hire, purging the world of lies.
