Eldryth
"He is known as Eldryth Heartseeker in Cryst-Nirithea. The Oblidan call him First Stag and Oak-Father, but amongst his own kind he was known only as the Blood-King."
He typically appears as a massive stag, his antlers sprawling skyward, and when enraged or gravely injured, he can transform into an even larger and more formidable beast, standing twice the height of a man at the shoulder, with horns that seem to scrape the heavens and eyes blaze red as his name. Eldryth embodies both the primal forces and wisdom of nature and blood, and his mere presence has the power to halt the monstrous Tovag who bowed before him and retreated from battle at his command.
Danyar believes Eldryth to be one of the "Last of the First," a term used to describe the original human archetypes or seeds that took root in the Second World, Alterran. These beings are thought to be primal demigods, the first form of an idea made flesh. The Oblidan people revered him as a spirit of vengeance and renewal, ties into his myth as a guardian and judge of life and blood. Eldryth’s return in these times is seen by some as an omen, and he has taken a keen interest in Danyar, seemingly to prepare him for a greater destiny.
