Hisaad

While his homeland and people are forgotten to time, Hisaad is eternally remembered. A larger than life figure that led his people into times of peace and prosperity by negotiating treaties with superstitious neighbors. When agriculture and settlments were still new and the savage lands of Primea had yet to be tamed, the First City was founded by Hisaad and his followers. He pulled the huddled and frightened from their caves and hovels and offered them civilization and comradery. The ancient races, enthralled in tribalism nearly reached an early peace due to the efforts of Hisaad. However, the early gods had not yet tired of their war games and wished for the quarreling to continue. They plotted to enslave Hisaad and use him as a puppet to influence his people into act upon their mischevious whims. Captured by zealots, Hisaad managed the impossible and negotiated not only his release, but an audience with the gods that imprisoned him in the first place. His deliberations were so profound that he nearly convinced the gods to return him to his people and to allow him to continue his work. Unfortunately, even though Hisaad was convincing, he had fallen into the gods' trap. They each trickled a small portion of their divinity into Hisaad and due to his performance, he ascended. Caught off guard by the gods, Hisaad was engrossed by his newfound divinity and his perception of time was altered. Before he knew it, decades had passed and the promise of unity amongst the people of Primea had been replaced with a great sense of abandonment. The early tribes had returned to their warring ways as they tried to take credit for Hisaad having come from their culture. Hisaad now tries to undo the deception by working through those that wish to retread the path he carved in antiquity.

WORSHIPPERS

Orators, heralds, and criers all pray to Hisaad for his influence to seep into their speeches and announcements. Advisors or debaters hope that their words will sway their liege or opponents in the same way Hisaad was able to persuade people.

SACRED SITES

The city of Paradigm is seen as the first great step towards everlasting peace amongst the races of Primea. It is home to the Council of Verbose Union which hosts meetings and negotiations between leaders and representatives from nations and empires across the world. The city works towards spreading Hisaad's teachings and fulfilling his vision.

RESOURCES

Artifacts from ancient times when Hisaad walked Primea have been unearthed that grant the wielder the ability to effortlessly influence those around them. These are highly sought after and hoarded by leaders suspicious of their council and people and use them as crutches for their own shortcomings as leaders.
