The Sleeper

The Sleeper is a mysterious entity Worshiped in The city of Klatch by its people and the official religion of Omnia.

Establishment
the establishment of the sleeper followed after Innos451 and Azaratuth came to the land of Phoenia, at the time there was peace and stability in the land, which the two decided to settle founding the city of Omnia. after a short while Innos451 started to hear the voice of the Sleeper in his Dreams and later on started to having repeated mysteries visions.

Following the mysteries voice Innos451, Azaratuth and The mayor of Ampolo ( a city in Phoenia) joined together to travel to the place which the mysteries voice led them. After a travel into the north of Phoenia they settled between the border of lutum and Phoenia.

Their they established the city of Klatch and began to research the mysteries Voice that led them to that land.

Early Research-Temple Digging
early on the people of Klatch led by Innos discovered that a powerful deity resided under the city. a large excavation project began in the city uncovering what is believed to be the hidden temple of the sleeper. Before the main temple was uncovered a small library was found containing several texts that would help to uncover more details about the discovery.

The Sleepers Touch
At the main entrance to the temple was uncovered a skeleton was found holding a dark bottle half filled with dark liquid in his hand. even though the skeleton was old the people noticed that his bones were brittle to the touch. an autopsy reveled that the bones did not contain any marrow as if something took all the life power from the owner and left only an empty husk behind. Further testing on the bottle reveled powerful magical properties. A small drop from the bottle diluted in water resulted in a potent drink that gave its user Haste 5 for 5 minutes. But there is always a cost when you deal with the sleeper. After ingesting the diluted liquid a strong weakness sets on the drinker of the liquid for 15 minutes the person who consumes the drink is weak and his life power is drained from him.

Lead researchers ███  notes on the drink: """"researcher  ███ remains  was later found  [DATA EXPUNGED]  in his laboratory.

███ ml of the drink was missing from his lab not to be recovered.

Late Research
Later research stages took place inside the main temple room. Several important texts were found shedding light on the sleeper and reviling some of the secretes surrounding the temple. In one of the texts an author believed to be a mage by the name of "Xardas" discusses the origin of the sleeper in his research of the area. Evidence points to these texts by Xardas to being dated about 150 years before the start of Klatch.

in his text Xardar writes: "███ ███""""""" Innos451 notes: ""After the start of the merkonis war, the hottest summer in the history of Omnia was observed. ███ a novice in the temple of the sleeper indulged himself in the Swampweed in an attempt to abate the heat and prayed to the sleeper for help. It is speculated that ███ wanted The Sleeper to help with the wild fires in the area.

After being observed talking with the Sleeper for several of hours ███  went to his laboratory and locked the door behind him. After [DATA EXPUNGED] a large explosion shuck the hole city of Klatch and destroyed the south part of the city. Taking the lives of [DATA EXPUNGED] people and  [DATA EXPUNGED] animals.

The investigation into the mysterious explosion were led by Azaratuth and reviled the schematics for something called "Klatchian Fire Engine". The engine was reconstructed and tested successfully spewing forward a small fire which resulted in the injury of  [DATA EXPUNGED]. The Klatchian Fire Engine is a weapon similar to a flamethrower. It looks like a large kettle that consists of a barrel with a tube coming out of the front mounted on wheels. The Klatchian Fire Engine has been banned by eight countries and three religions have said that any soldiers found using it would be excommunicated (Five others embraced it as a holy weapon and commanded that it be used on infidels, heretics, agnostics and people who fidget during the sermons).

Azaratuth notes: ""the Klatchian fire engine was used in the Battle of Perria by soldiers of Omnia.

Nortår link
Later in the growth and development of Klatch armor and weapons made by Innos were brought to the temple area to be blessed by the sleeper. In one of the ritual blessings Innos heard the voice of the Sleeper commanding him to locate the people of Nortår. After traveling far and wide Innos made contact with Ithrillion a member of the Vardirkin in the Nortår religion. A link was established between the people of the Nortår religion and The followers of the Sleeper. it is still unknow why the sleeper choose to establish this link but followers of Nortår are considered holy in the eyes of The Sleeper followers and should be protected as if they were followers of The Sleeper himself.

The Corruption discovery
After changing the beacon to gold the People of Klatch started to see a new spread of corruption from the temple area. Innos notes: "" "" """""""" "" The corruption from the temple seems to draw power from other religions and gods, this is uncertain as this is the only time the phenomenon has been observed. The true power of the sleeper and a deeper understanding of what resides in the city of Klatch is clear now. When The Sleeper gains strength by the corruption of artifacts and even other gods. This power can be tapped into by his followers giving them immense physical and magical power. This allows The Sleeper to perpetuate itslef by empowering its followers to act towards the corruption of further artifacts and is considered by outsiders to be a consequential threat to regional, religious, and even metaphysical stability.
