Hel'Seri



= Hel'Seri =

Overview
Hel'Seri (gilderoytherat), is a priest, scribe, librarian, prophet, and leader within The Faith of The Many (The High Priest of The Spirits of The Violet Sun), and The Nation of Fjellheim. Most of his early life comes from accounts detailed in religious texts, though there are some first-hand accounts and documentations of his later life.

Arriving in The World
Hel'Seri is first accounted to have arrived somewhere in Northern Sparwood sometime in 2 AE (According to The Divine Library of The Violet Sun's Dating System, which will now be referred to as Divine Library of The Violet Sun's Standard Calendar (DLSC)). Having walked through a place only referred to as "Lak'Gim" which has been translated to roughly mean the land of winter. From there, he came across the town of Iarok, which was part of the then nation of The Frosterium, within the province of Fjellheim. The person who was able to provide him shelter and food was an individual by the name of Huge. He was recruited into the recently reacquired and repopulating city of Hel'et.

The First Altar
After settling into Hel'et, Hel'Seri began to build his first house. He made a bamboo garden on it's side, and finished it with a Altar to pray to anyone who would listen, all the force the controlled the universe. In a granite altar with a soulfire in the middle, Hel'Seri would make sacrifices and prayers to the watchful eyes above and around him.

There was a time in which blood rained from the sky. In which the very snow was the iron tasted and steeped with red colouring. During this time, searching for answers, Hel'Seri attempted to pray for answers. The events that followed would change the course of his life. Though it is detailed thoroughly in holy texts (which you can read here), we will attempt to summarize the events. Early one morning, Hel'Seri prayed to what would later become known as The Mui (also known as The Spirits, among other names). During his prayers he found his entire house set on fire. Stepping outside, most of the city was set on fire as well. Blood rained down and put the fires out. With almost no time to get over the confusion of what happened, Hel'Seri found himself and the city being lit on fire once again. Then a third time.

This time, The Second Prophet noticed and rushed over to Hel'Seri's aid. They took shelter in Hel'Seri's house and began to pray at the alter. They heard a voice call out to them as lighting struck the alter, turning it into bedrock. The voice told them that it represented the power in the universe. After sacrifices were made to achieve further grace with the deity, 6 chickens were summoned and killed over the bedrock right before their eyes. Thrice more now, had the city been set aflame, each time the blood raining down and putting the flames out. The two prophets noticed a chicken. The chicken spoke, naming itself "Deodio".

Deodio told them much about The Mui, much about the voice that had spoken to them, which he called The Force of all Evil. He told them about the forces of the universe, and how he represented the natural in the world. They asked what The Force of Evil was called, but before Deodio could speak the name, the chicken was killed before them. They decided to call this force of evil "The Unnamed One."

From there they discussed the ideas that Deodio had left before them, and called nine others from around the town, who were still waking up, and gathered them in the house. It is said that two of the nine stayed outside, only to be burnt alive when the city went up in flames for the seventh and final time. When the blood had cleared the flames, only the corpses of those who had not come in remained.

The remaining seven in the house prayed for the madness to stop, and it is said that time started to move backwards. Then it is noted that an item frame appeared on the bedrock altar, causing everyone around it to hear a voice that said "I am here". After the item and it's frame disappeared they decided to rebuild Hel'Seri's house as the first church of their new faith.
