The Shadow

Aritoss, The Shadow, Patron of Secrets

Aritoss was born of the first whispers between Patrons. Patrons have never been all-knowing beings, unable to truly understand one another. Anilvim, the only Patron born with Free Will would withhold information from the other Sulian Patrons, inadvertently creating Aritoss and Varituss. Aritoss is said to be the shadow of all mortals, watching and balancing each of their darkest desires into himself. Everyone has something deep down that they would never admit, and Aritoss is the keeper of such truths. Many countries and places on Asterra recognize Ariotoss as one of the powerful Patrons but few truly know how to feel about him. Those who wholly embrace Aritoss are ones who truly understand themselves, the good and the bad, the facade and the shadow that lurks beneath the surface. Aritoss is said to have no Paladins, but in legends he has been known to select a single champion to play the broker of all secrets, a semi-mortal being to play the puppetmaster on the continent of Asterra.
