Erinath

When light fades, darkness remains...

Erinath the Cripple, also known by the Drows as the Hunter in the Dark.

" I saw him, moments after a bl'arko devoured Silianta my home, my family. He appeared among the crowd, out of nowhere. A colossal winged beast, black scaled with thousands of spikes shaped like a crown over his head. His lower half was missing, no signs of a tail or legs like the image of Valor, just dark scales that seemed like they had been ripped apart. The area around him soon fell in absolute darkness... the cries stopped, Ice and Fire followed."
~Translated Firstborn testimony Year 0 - Deep Freeze "

With hundreds of poems and literature written about the cripple god, referring to the events of the Deep Freeze. People worship him without questioning the reliability of the sources. The Drows are fascinated by the divine being that brings darkness, which is beneficial to their race, and suggest that Erinath is one of the Gods that never abandoned Ashard.

He is the Guardian of mortals.
