Peregrinnor Character in Ruins of the Regalia | World Anvil

Peregrinnor

The Walker on Wind and Wave

  Peregrinnor, the Wanderer, Wilderfane, the Father of the Lost, Turncoin, Petty Wickedness, Wanderlust, the Great Wheel, Farstrider, the One Who Walks Behind, Wayfinder, Old Mischief, the Leviathan, Iconopraxis, the Fool, the Father of Malice, Furturmentum and more, the God of Travel and of Mischief has been at the heart of controversy, scandal and conflict since He was first imagined, representing the spirit of liberty and adversity, the challenge to established order, the yearning for something new and different that smolders in mortal hearts.  

Divine Spheres

  Peregrinnor is associated with Mischief and with Travel, inspiring the wanderer and the explorer, the merchant and the thief, the performer and the admiral alike, and his domain is the untamed wilderness, both calm and stormy seas, anywhere the wind touches, and people great and small that carry want in their hearts like a secret.   Though not considered an evil deity, Peregrinnor has been cast as an agent of conflict and discord within the pantheon, characterised across the ages as a man of uncertain disposition and appearance, unpredictable certainly, but never beyond the limits of sanity. He delights in new sights and in jokes and pranks, in the breaking of tradition, and in exploits of bravery.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Wheel iconography features repeatedly in traditional worship of the Wayfinder, be it wagon wheel, water wheel, ship helm, or compass rose, representative of His aspect of travel, its role in holding the empire together, and the potential such change can bring, while centauri, many of whom took up His worship during the Regal occupation of Perilion and the greater Paradhi region, are often cited as icons of how all kind of people have a place within the Regalia.   His symbol is the Sigil of Khiron, used to mark safe trails and roads, mark waystations on busy highways, and are included on carts, wagons, ships and carriages as a means to protect travelers from harm. Wheels of the Way, menhir-like assemblages of rough stone, are used as shrines to Peregrinnor, where locals and passers-through leave offerings in the form of fruits and vegetables, coin, prayer-sails, blankets and other travel supplies, which are considered to be blessings for travelers in need and goodwill with the One Who Walks Behind against a need in the future.   Deep blue is the colour of Peregrinnor, and though He is said to care little for common materials such as gold and iron, rarer oceanic pieces of coral, driftwood and pearls are said to be sure ways to attract His favour. Horses are chief among the animals associated with Peregrinnor, alongside the peregrine, the grackle, bluejay and albatross, though any variety of exotic and aquatic creature could be used to refer to the mysteries waiting for those who dare to seek them out. In myth, Peregrinnor is said to have created the leviathan and rode it across the horizon, and the pegasus, in whose hearts He placed the aspirations of true explorers.
