Guide to the Immortals

married and had three children: two female and one
male. His kingdom prospered, and, during a period of
major anarchy, pushed back three invasions by humanoid
tribes, lizardkin, and Varellyan vanguards. A painful
event was the discovery of a conspiracy to dispose him
that involved several of his old adventuring companions.
From the moment that the coup against his just
government began, Finidel reluctantly signed their death
sentence as required by the laws of justice which
preserved his kingdom. During the eighty years of
Finidel’s reign, his son had a male heir, assuring them a
dynasty. From that day, Finidel became unpredictable
and introverted, and often disappeared for days without
giving any explanation. After three of these
disappearances his mood brightened, because he had
made good use of the Hood of Mala, travelling into the
future and helping his descendents. He then abdicated
his thrown in favour of his own son. Wearing his old
adventuring clothes, he headed into the wild lands
towards Mount Grimm for the last time, ascending to
Immortality in 410 BC.
Personality: Finidel is an individual often subject to
mood swings that last several days. Normally he is
friendly, charming, and optimistic, a heritage of his
mortal experience of governing, but when his mood
changes he appears introverted, fatalistic, and distrustful.
Despite everything, he is always tolerant towards other
points of view and considers constant change to be the
perfect and natural state of the Multiverse, which must
therefore be preserved from stagnating needlessly
destructive forces. He teaches his followers to protect the
family unit, to administer justice with an unfaltering
hand, and to not ever lose the hope in future
improvement. He always remains an absolute ally of
Brindorhin, who Finidel considers wise and infallible,
and in the course of time has developed a bond of
friendship and loyalty to Paarkum, united as the
protectors of the Brasolians.

Appearance: Forsetta is a tall blonde Norse man with

History (PROBABLE THEORY): During his mortal
life them, Forsetta was a great Norse clan leader named
Ruthin who lived in the lands of current Vestland, near the
Trollheim region. For decades Ruthin fought against hordes
of humanoids and giants in order to defend his people, until
he came into possession of a powerful artefact of Volund, the
fabled Sorona crown, which, according to myths, had been
forged for Frey as symbol of his power in the Northern
Reaches. Thanks to the crown's magical properties, Ruthin
was able to pacify many of the warleaders, forming a tight
coalition in order to resist to the pressures of the
Ethengarians and the humanoids. He then gave the first
written code of laws to the Northmen, which sanctioned the
creation of the three classes of Norse society (Jarls, Freemen,
and Thralls). During a pilgrimage to a shrine dedicated to
his patroness Frigg (Terra), she appeared in his dreams and
showed him the path that would lead him to become one of
the Aesir. Convinced he was the living incarnation of
Forsetta, son of Balder and Nanna and god of Law and
Justice, he began the path of the Polymath to join his parents
in Asgard, and was reincarnated several times to recover the
magical Sorona. He managed to end his quest in the XIII
century BC and became an immortal of Matter, known to
the Norse as Forsetta.
As a result of the Nithian conquest of the Northern
Reaches, his cult was destroyed, and his sacred artefacts were
lost. Only recently Forsetta decided the times were right to
recruit new followers among the Northmen. He took the
mortal identity of the wise prophet Haymin and recovered
the lost Sorona in the VII century AC. He then offered his
advice and support to the just Jarl Gendar and gifted him
with the powerful Sorona. Thanks to Haymin's help,
Gendar was able to drive the Ostland overlords westwards
beyond the sea, and united the clans under his own banner.
Thus he was crowned by Haymin as King Ottar the Just,
first monarch of the Kingdom of Vestland. Always advised by
Haymin, Ottar gave his people a new written set of laws and
re-established the Ruthinian Faith (the cult of Forsetta) as
the national church. He made the immortal of Law and
Justice Patron of Vestland to guarantee his followers' support
