Breitheamha, Monumental of Law and Order

It's a rare thing to have a flesh and blood being ascend to the level of a deity, but according to legend it has happened in the past. The first of such event centred around one Breitheamha Ó Dufaigh, whose lifetime preceeded the Wild Magic Cataclysm by a number of centuries.   Born to human parents in a small town known as Greenbelt, Breitheamha became well known in her early years for her stern disposition, her dedication to the virtues of order in the face of the wild chaos of her homeland, and her prowess with the stone maul she wielded. At the young age of 16 she found herself serving in the role of an unofficial protector for the scattered village settlements in the wild continent's deep centre, often travelling days between towns to uphold some semblance of order.   At the age of 23, in the year 600UE, she found herself at the centre of the the Fey Displacement, protecting defensive locals from frightened and confused Elf and Gnome scouting parties (and vice versa). Her dedication to her values made her an ideal representative when the violence eventually died down, and her cool demeanor, as well as her involvement in the incident itself and her familiarity with the surrounding areas, made her well-suited to mediate talks that would eventually lead to the Feywild Migration Concordat.   Upon returning home to Greenbelt, Breitheamha continued to serve as protector for the small walled town, and smaller settlements in the neighbouring wilds. Proud of her role in bringing safety to these communities, her ambitions pushed her further, with the goal of providing it for all of Wildehart. To see this dream of an orderly Wildehart through, she founded a guild within the castle of the local lord of Greenbelt, with members dispatched to villages beyond her reach as a single protector, and the coin they received as modest tribute, though not requested, would be used to grow the guild even further. This guild would come to be known as the Silver Bind Militia.   Out of necessity, Breitheamha Ó Dufaigh would eventually supplant the local lord of Greenbelt, and in the years leading to Lady Ó Dufaigh's passing in 525UE, her influence would place Officers of the Silver Bind, (colloquially referred to as Links) in over half the frontier settlements on the continent, while Greenbelt itself would grow into one of the preeminent powers of the region. In the decades following her death, the name of Breitheamha the Lawbinder would pass into legend, and as reverence of her grew, so did the power of the most devout members of the Silver Bind. The Silver Bind's base of operations would eventually be modified into a place of worship, in addition to a barracks, and Breitheamha's place among the Monumentals was cemented, almost 400 years after her passing.
