Lebioda

He who intends to walk the valley of darkness ought to bring a lantern with him. For he who sprains his ankle in the darkness will not walk far. –The Good Book; or, The Teachings of the Prophet Lebioda

Lebioda was a prophet whose visions and parables are contained in the Good Book of Prophet Lebioda's Wisdom. He became legendary for his goodness, wisdom, and modest peaceful ways.

Overview

As he became well-known, a cult began to form around him. More and more people started following his teachings with some of them becoming his pupils, as was the case with Saint Plegmund who brought his master's words to Toussaint. He was seen doing miracles, and in short time, his words and deeds converted the whole duchy along with Duchess Caroberta who ordered both a temple in Beauclair and a monument on the west bank of the Sansretour River to be built. Lebioda himself visited Toussaint at least once to hear prayers of the faithful.
He died, eaten by a dragon, which he attempted to stop harassing Kaedweni villagers near Ban Ard. The remains of the prophet, recovered from the feces of the creature, were collected by his students and interned in the sarcophagus in the Novigrad's Great Temple. On some holidays, the faithful are allowed to kiss the relic.
Even the Cult of the Eternal Fire follows some of Lebioda's parables.
