Ettes of Larúnas
Navalede: Ettes vek Larúnas
Þígean: Ettes Larúnasúlk
Born in the late 5th century a.Paþ to an aristocratic family in Talke-Dúrússó, capital of Ekavar in Larúnas, Ettes went on a several years long pilgrimage to the Sjorgús Mountains to visit the 33 sacred sites there, a feat only a few larúneans had done before him. Doing so was believed to grant the blessings of the gods, and great wisdom which Ettes wanted to share with his people.
Unfortunately, Larúnas was attacked by Dragons, the first time anyone had seen such creatures, and the kingdom was consumed in their fires. Upon hearing and eventually seeing the destruction of his homeland, Ettes was filled with such grief that he lost his ability to speak and only communicated by letters ever since. The dragons later destroyed several of the sites Ettes had visited, and thus he became the last to complete the sacred journey.
After settling down in southern Núrak like so many larúneans, Ettes wrote numerous books about his peoples' history, culture and especially their knowledge of magic so as it would not be lost in time. He also wrote down his own philosophical ideas, mostly based on his experiences in the Sjorgús Mountains mixed with traditional larúnean beliefs. His philosophy, emphasizing the importance of family, worship of the god Va, dualism of light and dark, and discouraging the consumption of red meat and alcohol, is still practiced by some Þígeans and is a major influence on the faith of Pardalism.
