Crelius Atennim
Crelius's imposing visage stares out over his dragonscale chestplate,
which, despite being rendered in marble, still holds a slight blue shimmer,
a testament that he was one of the few to wear the scales of the Storm,
Jormungander. His left hand holds his blade towards his comrade, Ihsan, as
his gaze renders judgement on all who would walk past him to take up the
status of a Chosen Knight.
- Description in the Hall of Statuary
With a history as rich in accomplishment and as dark, Crelius is a foremost
runner of the Prophecy. He was one of the only living men in history to
have served in the legendary halls of Gohdam's Eclipse, Shay's Shadow, and
even Targetter's Gaar Volen, There are no words, but I will try.
Crelius is a hero unlike the men I spoke to you prior. Their deeds were
forged in the Godfire of the field, and while Crelius was known for his
prowess from the early days on, his immortal nature lay in the forging of
men. He was magnanimous and his gift was to see the great in men. He is
responsible in part for most of the finest men in Storm Keep's history.
His successes were far more than his failures over his lifetime, and he
learned from failure. He helped found the Storm. He has a past as a master
vampire, the only one who walked Algoron at that time. There is his
staking, and his resurrection from the Abyss. All things that defined his
legend.
He is one of the men in my past who inspired me truly, and I know that it is
not only me that has felt affected by him. You have only to look around
you, and you will see Crelius's face, reflected in every mind paved with
God's intention.
