Olfrin
The Sage Olfrin
Olfrin the Sage, "The Shadowed Prophet", or "They That Know All Hearts" is the patron of the faith commonly known as The Well - a sect of devout that believe that will perfect knowledge comes perfection in action. While understandably impossible, the lofty goals set by the adherents leads to an endless cycle of self-improvement which they heartily pursue.
Perceived as the patron of education, knowledge, wisdom, and prophecy, Olfrin is prayed to be religious and non-religious scholars alike: largely anyone seeking higher understanding of the complex world of Arcanorum and the Tempest. While none claim to have been spoken to by The Shadowed Prophet, moments of inspiration, invention, innovation are not uncommonly attributed to the Sage.
Olfrin, for their own sake, is perhaps the least well understood of the beneficent Divines, seemingly detached from the world of Arcanorum and both it's trials and celebrations. It has been said that the deity was both gifted and cursed with the perfect knowledge that their faithful seek, and thus is caught forever in eternal analysis. One however wonders at what the deity might do, should that period of contemplation end.

- "They That Know All Hearts"
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
