Waendal Murfain

Waendel Murfain, known to history as the Last Greenseer, was a pivotal figure in the formation of the Pactlands as we know them today. Living over a millennium ago, Murfain was both a mystic and a statesman, a rare combination that allowed him to wield not only foresight but also influence over a fractured and war-torn world. As a Greenseer, he possessed a unique gift: the ability to glimpse possible futures rather than fixed certainties, making him a master of strategy and diplomacy. This gift would be instrumental in uniting the disparate tribes of the Pactlands against the agents of the Endless Maw during the legendary Battle of Eventide.
Before his rise to prominence, the Pactlands were a chaotic collection of tribes and proto-states, plagued by internal conflicts and vulnerable to the creeping corruption of the Vorrath, enigmatic agents of the Endless Maw. Born among the mystics of Caede, Waendel first emerged as a voice of wisdom and clarity, calling for unity among the tribes. His ability to foresee potential outcomes earned him the respect of tribal chieftains, many of whom initially distrusted one another more than they feared the Vorrath. Waendel’s leadership during the Battle of Eventide brought these factions together, forging a tenuous alliance that would ultimately triumph over the Maw’s forces.
Following the victory at Eventide, Waendel’s role as a unifier continued. He was one of the principal authors of the Concordance of Aligned Realms, a monumental document that established the foundations of the Pactlands’ nations and codified humanity’s collective commitment to mutual defense and progress. His foresight shaped the Concordance’s most enduring tenets, including the regulation of magic and the creation of the High Magus Council.
Despite his monumental contributions, Waendel’s life after the signing of the Concordance is shrouded in mystery. He vanished from public life, and his ultimate fate remains unknown. Some believe he foresaw his own irrelevance in the new era of nation-states and withdrew to live in obscurity. Others suggest he sacrificed himself in a final act to ensure the Maw’s retreat. Legends speak of Waendel walking into the deep wilds of Caede, never to return, or stepping beyond time itself, carried away by the weight of his visions.
Waendel Murfain remains one of the most revered figures in Pactlands history. His name is a symbol of unity and wisdom, and his legacy as the Last Greenseer serves as both a beacon of hope and a somber reminder of the sacrifices that shaped the world.
