| + | When Triegenes passed on from his mortal\\ | ||
| + | shell, the prelates of the Clergy cremated\\ | ||
| + | his remains in a grand state funeral. As\\ | ||
| + | they gathered his ashes to spread across\\ | ||
| + | the nation’s soil, they found a small harpoon\\ | ||
| + | hook—the kind used by some fishers— which\\ | ||
| + | somehow had been caught in the living god’s\\ | ||
| + | body since before he achieved divinity.\\ | ||
| + | The priests crafted the hook into a pendant,\\ | ||
| + | and for over a thousand years it has been\\ | ||
| + | worn by the hierarchs of the faith, as\\ | ||
| + | a reminder that we all have humble origins.\\ | ||
| + | Doctrine claimed that it let its wearer\\ | ||
| + | learn the history and background of anyone\\ | ||
| + | he met, allowing the leader of the faith\\ | ||
| + | to deal with overly prideful enemies and\\ | ||
| + | heads of state.\\ | ||
| + | In 260 a.o.v., however, it was lost when\\ | ||
| + | an eladrin assassin slew that era’s\\ | ||
| + | hierarch and stole the pendant. Critics of\\ | ||
| + | the faith claim that its loss was part of\\ | ||
| + | a plan to steer the Clergy away from its\\ | ||
| + | original humble core, so that high priests\\ | ||
| + | could better profit from their stations. | ||
