Arü (Ah-ru)

Lord Half-Iron, The Scarred Son

"Arü is the warden of the wood, the shining light that pierces the darkness that permeates the deep places of Earedar. He is a force for good unapparelled amongst the old Primordials, a deity determined for once to right their own wrongs, with deep care over his children and those who serve him."

Lillith Anastasiar

First Ranger of Arü

Arü is the de-facto heir of Arüvorash, inheriting the purified portion of his soul when it was split in the Age of Storms. Greatly lessened in strength from his previous form, Arü is dedicated to the restoration of his previous works and righting the wrongs done by him while he was corrupted over the millennia since the Infernal Crusade. He has taken up residence within the Dreadwood on the southern border of New Iskar, and has tasked both himself and his followers with the restoration of that wood and the elimination of his darker side, Vorash.


Learning from his previous mistakes, Arü is a much more interventionist deity than Arüvorash, actively seeking to undo what he believes he has unleashed upon Earedar. Arü often communicates with his followers through greendreams, and is known to manipulate events from far off.

Faiths, Cults and Organizations

Verdant Order- The Verdant Order is a loosely aligned order of druids, rangers and other woodsmen dedicated to the preservation of nature and the conservation of life. Headquartered out of the Summerwood, the Verdant Order fights to preserve nature across Earedar. The Order fights against all things unnatural, and also fights to protect settlements on the edge of civilization.

Ironwood Rangers- The Ironwood Rangers are an organization of rangers, paladins, clerics and druids dedicated to the service of The Scarred Son, Arü. Extremely small in number, they seek to protect and shepherd the Dreadwood, and purify the corruption left behind by Vorash. They are sworn to combat him and all of his machinations, with the ultimate goal of either his destruction, or the purification of his soul and his ultimate reunion with Arü, bringing about the rebirth of Arüvorash. Lillith Anastasiar is their leader, and First Ranger of Arü.
