Eidelos

**Eidolos**; the Guardian of the Gate; Old Black-Shine

Said to have once been a divine construct that somehow attained both sentience and vast celestial power, Eidolos is often depicted in a simple, geometric fashion approximating a blank, helmeted head with the shape of a diamond emblazoned with a sigil at its centre. **Eidolos exults in wealth, perseverance, and craftsmanship**. Occasionally manifesting as a massive humanoid comprised of obsidian, Eidolos has a strong connection to Dwarven culture but is also revered by some nomadic, mountain tribes. Generally associated with treasure hunters and corsairs, though any who seek to grow their wealth, be relentless in the pursuit of their goals, and those that appreciate or create objects of beauty or significance can readily follow Eidolos.

Common expectations of those who follow the teachings of Eidolos are:

Find your wealth – seek that of great worth, but worth is yours to define

Forge perseverance – rely on determination, not inspiration, to succeed

Craft strong – in all that you build, build to last
