Illios - The Father - LG
Agriculture, Fertility, Weather
Illios first stirred during the events preceding the Age of Omens where the prayers of the desperate reached him, beseeching of the gods who were no more to help them in their times of need, and so Illios stirred, awakened to the destruction that was at hand on this new realm. Illios had little memory left, only that of his children, those that he so desperately wished to see once more, but his path forward was blocked, the planet's Dying Lands grounded him here, a corrupting chain that held him with a deathly grip that drained from him his divine power. He traveled through the lands in search of a way home, home to his family, but as he traveled he learned of the peoples plight, of their pain, and of the destruction that was coming, and so Illios remained, his path no longer in search of a way out, but instead to help these desperate people. He joined with those champions of light at the Seat of Oblivion, it is here, during this climactic battle that he found himself lost, learning that his own children had all perished, the untold millions that were once his to protect destroyed by Oblivion herself. He was lost to despair, as only a father could, he had nothing, but then one by one, the people he had come to care for called to him, snapping him back to reality as he realized the truth. He was not alone, these people needed him. Though his family was gone, these people still had hope, hope in a future that seemed so far away.
It is through the faith of these desperate mortals that Illios was freed of his bonds, of his own despair, and through his regained power he helped to defeat Oblivion, and from there he laid the seeds of growth, restoring what could be restored, and giving hope to those who needed it most. As hope was restored, Illios knew that this was but the beginning of what he must do, and so he got to work, first with the rains so that the fields may grow anew, then by showers of snow to restore life to the lands scorched, and one by one, he rebuilt the lands, with each season life returned to the realm, and with each season, the faith in him grew stronger, the peoples of Kaidryn started to call upon him as Father, creator of the people, and though they were not the same, he had a family once again.
