Ryn Character in Dwell | World Anvil

Ryn (Ren)

Lord Ryn N/A N/A

Ryn, the deity of the absolute. This particular deity is the most worshipped and respected, since he, alongside Enna, supposedly created Dwell as well as @Bright--and now is charged with ruling over them. Those who follow other deities, however, generally disagree with this assertion, as it discounts Enna who also created the known world(s) as well as @Mal, who is supposedly the one that split Dwell in half. Sol is probably the least popular of the group, since he makes the fewest appearances in history, so those who follow him generally don't engage in this debate since they have very little evidence to offer.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Ryn has surfaced many times throughout history, taking the form of a child with dark hair/eyes--a form unbefitting of the oldest, most influential and (allegedly) most powerful deity. That said, he has repeatedly shaped the course of history, even going so far as to black out the sun or cause wheat fields to erupt in flames to cut off supplies fueling unjust military campaigns. There is even one incident where he summoned terrible winds to sweep an entire army into the Divide. Needless to say, countries are much more hesitant to go to war.   Apart from these appearances, not much is known about the deity, despite his adamant following. According to some apocryphal texts, he may have had some sort of romantic and/or sexual relationship with Enna. However, this claim has been denounced by many of his followers recently, so the details are uncertain.

Sexuality

There is currently no official record of Ryn having a sexual relationship with any mortal or deity. However, some texts claim that he had a relationship with Enna, whose sex and gender identity are "female".

Morality & Philosophy

This is a very uncertain subject, as followers of Ryn will claim that he is merciful/benevolent while those who don't follow him will say that he is sadistic or manipulative. Followers of Mal like to compare him to their own deity, saying he enjoys toying with mortal lives, while followers of Enna say his intentions are pure, but that he treats this world's inhabitants like a machine; expelling the weak or those who threaten its integrity with little thought.

Social

Speech

Ryn generally doesn't speak at length when he appears, only reported to have delivered occasional warnings or advisories. However, he does speak with force and determination that often catches people off-guard, especially since his preferred avatar is a child.
