Ethos: Ereion is the creator of intelligence in the wilds. Ereion is never described by appearance or gender. Followers of Ereion hold to the belief that he is nature incarnate and in some circles believe he was the first fey and later ascended to god hood. Followers of Ereion are directly opposed to anything that damages the natural order of the world. It is said in lands where nature has been damaged to severely that he bestows the land itself with intelligence enough to fight back. Being so opposed to things unnatural his followers will actively seek out Undeath where ever it maybe to force it back onto the natural way. Credit is given to Ereion whenever intelligent animals or plants are encountered.
History: Von Jovina was found in the wilds as a child, discovered by a group of outlaws near the city of Drokara. His upbringing was less than ideal, and out of necessity, he became adept at surviving where others could not. He made an honest living as a "locksmith" when he could, and did what he had to when he could not.
