Overview
The Avatars of Power are beings that take the form of personified aspects of nature in Rathfall. Their presence has been documented for longer than written history both in the forms of fairy tales and scientific research.
In Selunari culture, it is believed that Elder Sky, the head and ‘father’ of the Avatars, created them and gifted them to the people to ‘use the light to fight the darkness’. In ancient text, ‘the darkness’ can also be translated to necromancy. It is only those that show to be good people and capable fighters that can wield these magics and protect the realm.
Most of the Avatars are asleep at the moment. However, they are still able to communicate through communion using aspects of them as Catalysts. (Example: With the aid of Moon Father, I was able to commune with Elder Sky and speak to him about these things).
This is a list of the Avatars provided by Elder Sky himself. Under them is the current status of said Avatars, if they have a herald among the populace, and notes about each one. They will be updated as more is found out about them.
Avatars of Power
Moon Father
Status: Active
Herald: Baroness Fallingstar
Personification of the Moon. Keeper of Secrets and Protector of Civilization. It is through him, the Children of the Moon, who he considers his children, are blessed with the ability to fight ‘the things that go bump in the night’ in the form of werewolves. Anything done under his moonlight, he knows. Has shown to be a stalwart ally to the Unbounded. He is also married to the Mother of the Tides. During the Night of the Long Fang, he was removed from his Mantle and killed. Through the efforts of the Unbounded, he was saved and later awaken to his current status now.
Mother of the Tides
Status: Active
Herald: Lady Asher
Personification of the Ocean. A lesson in the need for balance. Has shifting moods much like the ocean's tide. Has sway over the Tritons. Married to the Moon Father. Woke up when Moon Father died during the Night of the Long Fang. Cursed the lands of Rathfall as punishment for the harm that fell on Moon Father. The Unbounded are hoping that his recent awakening will convince her to remove said curse.
Brother Mountain
Status: Asleep
Herald: None
Personification of rock and stone. Said to be an Avatar of light and dark. Came to DeSylvia during the ritual during the vampire campaign as he was embedding malachite into his flesh. Aided him to survive the ritual. Malachite is his gift to the world to fend of the darkness.
Sister of the Fallen Leaves
Status: Unknown
Herald: None
Personification of Nature. Believed to be the reason that dryad are made the way they are.
Matriarch of Storms
Status: Unknown
Herald: None
Personification of storms. Nothing known as of yet.
Foresight/Regret
Status: Active/Unknown
Herald: None
Personification of Foresight and Regret. Twin brothers. Foresight was saved from a Mistweaver lab that he was captured in for a long time. Consumes precious metals to empower him. Can give you predictions on courses of actions. This is not a future predicting ability but a risk calculating ability. His brother, Regret, is ‘a little more violent’. It is unknown if he is awake or if he is still sleeping.
Bastard Blight
Status: Dead
Herald: None
Personification of the Blight. Was captured by vampires and used and abused to spread the Blight. His chosen people were the hobblings, in which he granted them the ability to resist the Blight.
According to a fae, the Vampire’s controlled bastard blight to push the blight in such a manner to ensure they had political power and were able to guide the kingdoms within the expanse to their wishes and desires. Adventurers were unfunded and blamed for what occurred, until a new king was crowned. This was an early blight. The blight returned, and again the adventurers had grown to a point where they were a non-entity, until they forced the people of the expanse to rise up in rebellion. But the Blight had taken hold of the kingdom at that point. During the vampire campaign, the Unbounded found him and killed him at his request to end the suffering that he faced at the hands of the vampires. His last action was removing the gift he gave to the hobblings. His death did not stop the Blight spread but slowed it down significantly. Many are still unsure if his death was a good thing.
Elder Sky
Status: Asleep
Herald: None
Personification of the night sky. Giver of Knowledge. Provider of ‘the light against the darkness’. Said to have created all of the Avatars of Power. His chosen people are the Selunari, in which he gave them the ability to commune with the stars to share information with each other. Is the oldest and most powerful one of all the Avatars. Desires for all his children to be awaken ‘for the sake of the Mistsphere’. When they are all awake, he will awaken.
Beings of Note
Alloysious the ‘Avatar of Light’ - Not a true Avatar, but the misplaced Mantle of Bastard Blight. Proceed with caution but protect at all cost.
