Balderich of the Great Dawn
Balderich is the one of the Big Three that is most often glanced over. His actions, while almost more important than both Osonia and Brisit, were not visible by those on the Prime Material Plane. He prayed to the gods and used his immense clerical power to convince the gods that if they did not act on the war they would lose their domain to the Great Old One and his forces.
His prayers, along with the other clerics with him, are said to have been the final push that created the Emissaries. These beings were essential, along with the Six, in fighting the threat too powerful for Ilucin: the Titans and their lieutenants.
Balderich stayed out of the spotlight of battle, focusing on the healing and care of those who lived through the fighting. His ranks of clerics considered him a prophet, and many followed his word.
Balderich’s greatest achievement is the creation of the Risen Peaks. He, along with some of his greatest followers, sacrificed their body and power to the gods so that the wall of mountains would contain them forever.
It is said that Balderich still lives in the Outer Planes, having risen to angelic status for his efforts in the incursion. If you pray to him he may visit you in your dreams.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Balderich had an unique approach to Deity worship. He praised all twelve of the gods, considering himself a cleric with no sworn allegiance. Many who heard this laughed at his inability to worship a single god: No cleric worships all of the twelve. During the incursion his style of worship spread like wildfire, and almost all the followers under him prayed to the pantheon as a whole. In the time after the war, this style of worship has all but disappeared.

Religious Views
Balderich looked down on the tradition of drawing power from a single god. His view was that by worshiping all, one could achieve a power greater than if limited to the scope of one god.
