Saints, Gods and Demons

Saints of the Church

St. Orlan

Saint Orlan is known for resisting many temptations in his journey west after he rose of the Eastern Ocean on the head of an octopus. (The month of Octopus is named after him.) Along his path, undead arose to tempt him with powers and treasure, all of which he refused. When he reached the shores of the western ocean, he battled the lich Putah and was burned to ash that scattered to the wind.

St. Jaludi

The bones of Saint Jaludi summon his spirit, and they are powerful against Undead.

St. Bredayn

St. Bredayn, who first discovered how at first light of day his prayers could be transferred into the pearls for later casting.  St. Bredayn discovered the Pearls of Mordune, God of the Sea and Storms, husband of Harael.  People would come to call the pearls after St. Bredayn.
