The Following of the Creator
The following around the Creator (Anteus Esteban) is split into two different parties, the Keepers and the Acolytes. Even though their amount of knowledge around the Creator strongly varies, they share the belief that Aerion is worth protecting.
The Keepers / Protectors
After being created by Anteus after the Tear, the Elderin and the Tainted know that their Creator is real, even though most of them have never met or even seen him in person. Born into the task of keeping all life in and on Aerion balanced and and in its place, without changing the course of "nature", they are in close contact with Anteus and value his opinion over everything. He is the last call when it comes to major decisions that could alter the world, like the spread of the void near the Voidwake. Any communication is mostly done either by magical means, or by the two chosen speakers for their kind: Vizka for the Tainted and Vakur for the Elderin.The Acolytes
The Acolytes are the "normal people" who believe in a higher being as the creator of Aerion. None of them is sure about his or her true nature or form, but all of them believe in them one way or the other. While some have been born into families who always just knew or felt like there was a "god", others joined the ranks after overhearing a simple conversation or catching a rumor or myth on their way to the market or a drink. For many it seemed to be more than logical that there must be someone or something who is the reason for all the events happening, like the portal openings in Valderin's Gate,the edge of the world, the wild magic surges and other weird and unexplainable events. In one simple thing all of them agree: The world is worth protecting, and whoever may or may now have created it seems to do their best to keep it safe.
