NemeN (/neh:men/)
The Thousand-Mile-Soul
The Thousand-Mile-Soul
Overview
NemeN is one of the most powerful Exarchs on Marus with an origin entwined with the Kaelic Sailors of old. While Jelilibad one day became revered for the building of ships, her counterpart rose to prominence among those who travel the Realm of Seas. As a pioneer of Shipcraft, NemeN is said to be the first being to chart the Realm's vast seas and map the paths of the celestial bodies above. The God of Voyagers became revered across every corner of Marus and rose to become synonymous with not just ship travel, but trade, and the flow of civilization itself. For he who controls the winds and sails controls the heart of civilization itself in the Realm of Seas. When Caydon Rel ascended, the Thousand-Mile-Soul was a stabilizing force that kept the fractured world that ensued from crumbling away entirely. His watchful presence continues to grace the people of the Sea of Brass, bringing comfort and a steady favorable wind to steer his faithful.
Only the Goddess of Veils can rival the awe-inspiring power of the Thousand-Mile-Soul. His presence is so vast, yet expertly wielded, that its existence is as synonymous with the wind in the Sea of Brass. Only the phenomenon known as the Eye of NemeN is a more fiersome display of our patron Exarch's feirsome presence and seemingly limitless perception.
History
The history of NemeN is shrouded in myth and legend, obscuring any truth within the mystery of lost history. Stories told of his exploits range from the improbable to the impossible with few constants beyond his humble beginnings as a ship's captain. He became more than a legend when he successfully mapped the movements of the moons and sun, allowing him to chart the ancient seas of Marus long before Caydon Rel ascended. He was known for his fairness and the truth of his few words. When the world was remade, he continued to guide the those who traveled the seas, ensuring that a dark age would not befall the entire Realm. He was the founding force behind the Seabound Covenant that established law and order following the Lord of Magic's ascension. In the following centuries he became synonymous with civilization itself, acting like the vital heart of a network of interconnected blood vessels keeping the world turning for Marus' people.
