Stervios, god of Wisdom
god Stervios (a.k.a. Stervo)
Stervios is a god born from the crucible of tragedy and perseverance, ascending to divinity during the tumultuous Rampage of the Behemoths. Orphaned early in life, losing both birth parents and his beloved adopted guardians Feiton & Veronica, Stervios carries a wealth of hardearned wisdom and profound understanding beyond his years. His journey from loss to enlightenment forged a god of hope, knowledge, and deep curiosity.
Blessed by both Nero, god of Order, and Udos, god of Time, Stervios was entrusted as a vital link between mortals and gods, interpreting the will of humanity and guiding divine decisions during the war with the Behemoths. His optimistic spirit and eloquence were pivotal in uniting disparate forces for a common cause.
Now, Stervios roams Baltharos in the guise of a youthful, ambitious, and joyful human male, embodying the hopeful essence of his adoptive parent Feiton. Ever eager to share insight, he offers wisdom to those who seek it and inspires adventure in those willing to embrace the unknown.
