Guide to the Immortals

with Hymir, the only giant immortal he gets along with
(thanks to Hymir’s ability with liquors and a few
common adventures they had while mortals). He also
considers Bartziluth, Bemarris, and Madarua (the only
mortals he sponsored to immortality) as his three
children (Modi, Magni, and Thrud according to Antalian
legends); precious allies always ready to obey his
commands. He hates Zugzul with a fiery passion because
he’s patron of all those evil giants who frequently
tormented his people, and he constantly watches Hel’s
moves because of her alliance with Loki. He also opposes
Kiranjo, who tried to influence the Norse berserker with
his cult of Gylgarid, and for this reason he beat him
soundly in an open immortal contest.

Worshipped in: Known World (Thyatis,

Appearance: An elderly human clad in a simple linen
robe, with a long white venerable beard and white long
hair, whose eyes are covered by a strip of grey leather,
holding a small golden harp with his right hand and a
gnarled but sturdy staff in the other.
History (PROBABLE THEORY): Tiresias was a very
talented bard who became famous for his divination skills
during the Traldar era. After being falsely accused and
condemned for treachery by the jealous wife of a Traldar
King he was serving as counsellor, he was blinded and then
exiled. Thanks to his skills, however, he was able to survive
with music, dreams, and words as his only companions.
Tiresias foresaw the coming of the gnolls and he tried to rally
the Hutaakans (who had formerly schooled him in the
magical arts) to defend their Traldar neighbours. However,
he faced the stern and uncompromising decision of the
Hutaakans to stay out of the war, and he was escorted out of
their secluded valley.
Tiresias dreamt of a fertile and rich land beyond the
southern sea, which he judged to be an omen sent by the
Immortals to guide his people to a better place. With this
knowledge he came to Halav’s court, and he tried to
convince him of the great threat which was about to wreak
havoc on the Traldar Kingdoms, suggesting that the only
way to survive was to migrate southwards beyond the Sea of
Dread. Halav did not take him for a fool, but he clearly
stated he would never abandon his homeland. So Tiresias
travelled at length to warn all of the Traldar Kings about
their fate, until finally one heard his pleas and followed his
advice: King Milen.
Thanks to Tiresias’s prophetic powers, Milen’s expedition
reached Davania, and Milen’s descendants founded the
Milenian Kingdom. Later Tiresias undertook the Path of the
Epic Hero, and in his travels he went as far as the Isle of
Dawn, where he recovered the Harp of Turlock and became
famous among the duns as Dallbard MacCrubach. He later
went to Hel’s domain to destroy an artefact of Entropy. It
was after this epic deed that he achieved immortality in the
Sphere of Thought in BC 780. From that moment he
became the patron of poetry, dreams, and prophecy among
Traldars, Milenians and their descendants (the Thyatians
and Traladarans), as well as among the people of the Isle of
Dawn and the Hinterlands (as Dallbard).
Personality: Tiresias is a good friend of Halav and
Petra, after he was able to persuade them to protect and
respect the Milenians. He is also a staunch ally of
Taroyas, with whom he shared the first years of the
Kingdom of Milenia in the outer world. He is also on
good terms with Odin, although he’s not a member of
the Norse pantheon.
Despite being calm and thoughtful most of the time,
Tiresias burns with rage at the mere mention of Thanatos
and Ranivorus, who were responsible for the invasion of
the Beastmen that caused him to abandon his homeland
and suffer so much. Tiresias loves to be surrounded by a
sense of mystery and wonder about his past, so he always
comes up with a different story every time he is asked
about it. He loves to create legends, which are much
more stimulating and interesting than the simple truth.
This is part of his personality, a love for mind games and
tricks that leads him to come up with interesting lies,
riddles and metaphors instead of giving simple replies to
answers; this way, he says, he helps people to think more.
His interests lie in music, good stories and ballads,
