Aldrenus

Aldrenus the Apostle is a mysterious and powerful arcanist who serves as the highest religious authority in the nation of Dravis. Bearing the title The Apostle of the Beekeeper, he is both a spiritual figure and an advisor of immense influence, though he holds no formal royal title. Always seen in a coat stitched with golden hexes, Aldrenus rarely speaks in public, but his rare addresses are meticulously recorded and treated with the weight of scripture by his followers. His presence commands quiet reverence across Dravis and deep curiosity beyond its borders.

What makes Aldrenus so singular is the depth of his arcane knowledge and the seemingly tireless efforts he has made to shape Dravis into a disciplined, prosperous nation. He is credited with introducing refined contracts, organized trade practices, and advancements in magical infrastructure, particularly in the capital city of Zarkova. Though many see him as a benefactor, others note the religious tone that pervades Dravish society and wonder how much of the nation's order is inspired by wisdom—and how much by fear.

Beyond Dravis, Aldrenus is known for his piercing intellect and unshakable composure. Tales tell of him outwitting foreign generals, navigating centuries-old arcane mysteries, and even debating entire theological councils into silence. While opinions of him vary—some calling him a prophet, others a tyrant cloaked in ritual—no one denies that Aldrenus is a master of both magic and manipulation. Wherever his gaze falls, things tend to change—quietly, quickly, and irrevocably.
