Renaut

"'He is our Saviour, He who endured the darkest of nights, whom had every desire of life and more but saw error in it all. He who freed us from an eternity of servitude by those with the blackest of heart, and depravity borne from arrogance.'"Renaut, also known as Aurobis, Seâthaith, Hal-surob, Fhàrathi and a plethora of other culturally significant titles, is the 'adoptive father' of the lesser races, and subsequent liberator, seeder, and mentor of the world of Orbis. Considered one of the, if not the greatest god-hero in nearly every pantheon across Orbis. However, Renaut was not without his faults, and while most cultures revere him as the epitome of moral diligence, obscure cults follow more uncouth rhetoric of genocide and sorcery. Renaut's fate is unknown, as after sailing the remnants of the Lesser Races across the Menning Sea, had swiftly abandoned his followers, and due to technological regression, any final exchange of words from Renaut has been lost to time.

Though with the passing of every century, many across Orbis begin to see Renaut as none more than a myth, leading to intense theological discussion between families to prestigious universities alike.

Background
"'Renaut had merely led us from a flame unto a kettle, who is he to dictate our best interest? One who had struck down Mankind but moments earlier from his 'self-acclaimed redemption?' His mind is alien to ours, and it shall always be so, for I know not one man who'd strike down a thousand innocent and be hailed their saviour.'""Halsus Vanarig, Grand Practitioner of Kheré, 3154 3E"While universally revered across all Orbis, surprisingly little concrete information is known about Renaut. That which is known is oral information holding cultural ambiguity, with latter information being used to fuel many of the pantheons and cults across Orbis, holding little factual evidence as to whom Renaut was. The most reliable information on Renaut, and his role during the Untold Eras are from Aólochi tomes and scrolls recovered from research expeditions into forgotten caverns far beneath the surface of Orbis. For reference, the information below is the most established, cross-referenced and rational (as opposed to theocratic) rendition of knowledge on Renaut. The circumstance of Renaut's birth is unknown, as with the Aólochi he is part of. Though, for a time of untold millennia Renaut and the Aólochi existed in an aether of pre-history. In this time, Renaut held the name of Aurobis and was the son to Aruges, and served with the Aólochi cabal, known as the Principate - a ruling body bent on dominating all 'lesser races' and consequently feasting off them.
