Godhren Mentosophil the Seeker of War

Role

Chapter 9

Godhren grew up in a poor situation (story to follow later).
Godhren believes that the natural, healthy cycles of life and death
have been altered for the worse by institutionalization built on top of
agriculture. There is nothing wrong with working sustainably with the world,
but evils such as large war, poverty, famine, do not occur for the
hunter gatherer in full empathy with his surroundings, living sustainably.
The freedom of mind and body Godhren believes necessary for the good of all
is possible only in the freedom that could be brought to life if Thar-Eris
were fully awakened and all were joyful participants.

Chapter 8

Godhren has decided that the copper the spirits bestow upon sacrifice
is not mined, but a gift from the gods. Therefore, it is not necessarily
evil and can be used for such purposes as trail markers.

Role

Chapter 7

One day, Godhren was meditating at the bottom of the sea, as was his wont,
when he received his first direct relevation from the spirits he revered
and beseeched. Meditating on his beliefs, he realized the time had come
to take an active role in making the Dream a reality. The Dream was his
cherished dream of having all people in freedom in joyous communion with
with an awakened Thar-Eris. His role in taking the first step in the Dream
was clear: he must teach those capable of communion and eliminate those
whose nature make them incapable of sharing the Dream. Now wiser and stronger
than he had been before, he resolved to find the Sunwarden again and
determine if he could not pursue the Dream within the community of freedom fighters
of Thar-Eris.

Role

Chapter 6

Because of his past, and also because of what they symbolize, Godhren
will not wear any collar.

Role

Chapter 5

Having met and first mistrusted Jukus, Godhren quickly realized he was
staunch ally. After relentless mistrust and insults, Jukus saved Godhren
from being trapped in the depths with the sahuagin, at no small cost and risk to himself.
Since then, they have become fast friends and allies. Godhren wishes to
to redeem Jukus, and restore him to the favor of the Ancients.
Indeed, how can Godhren teach the Dream to the world if he can not even
redeem a willing ally who shares his beliefs?
To this end, Godhren began attempting to set an example for Jukus, nudging
him gently to more proper goals, such as reclaiming the totem from the
from the Vanquisher instead of slaying a passing orc. Godhren also
showed Jukus his ritual of collecting coin and making large ritual
sacrifices in the hopes that enemies are redeemed to the Ancients.
It is a slow process, but Godhren must start learn how to teach the Dream,
and what better way than to help redeem a friend?

Role

Chapter 4

Godhren attempted to speak with Kordaf about the Dream. He was met with
great distrust and suspicion, initially, which was resolved when Godhren
realized Kordaf could not see him because Thar-Eris sheltered him.
Once this hurdle was passed, Kordaf asked Godhren if there was a way
to avoid antipaladins and their sleep spell, which gave Godhren a perfect
opportunity to talk about the reasons and advantages of joyous communion
with Thar-Eris. Godhren was shocked to see how tightly the bonds of
had shackled one of his own kind. Kordaf was initially arguing that
cities and money were civilization, and that humans would be animls
without them. Godhren, after long debate, helped Kordaf realize that
a true civilization involves culture and wisdom, and certainly the men
of the men had civilization as well, even if they lacked cities.
Divested of this reason, Kordaf asked why a metal dagger was usable but
a metal coin was not. Godhren explained that the symbolic link was the issue,
not the metal of the item. That the Empire could not exist without
coin and the necessary institutions that support it, but that the elves
of Darsylon, closer in some ways to harmony with the Light and Thar-Eris,
would have a chance to retain their civilization. Divested of all
reasons, Kordaf simply became irrationally insistent, then concluded
the conservation was irrational and left the discussion.

Godhren was aghast the lure of greed and slavery was so strong in those
of his own kind. He decided to think more deeply on what would be
required to teach them freedom.

After all, how could he teach confused humans if he could not even teach
warriors dedicated to the Light of the virtue of Thar-Eris, to make them
see past their irrational philosophies of slavery?

Role

Chapter 3

Godhren came along to find a ranger, and two village applicants, one
a dark elf warrior, and one a svirfneblin, about to begin to wreak
havoc on the dryads and sprites of the Emerald Forest. He also noticed
that the applicants seemed to be more interested in blood of the dryads
than the blood of the necromancer lurking about.
than that of the magi. He tried to interest them in the Dream of
freedom and bounty for all, but they were not interested in either
that, nor in staying their hands against the dryads. Therefore, to protect
the forests, Godhren called upon Thar-Eris to allow them to feel the
determined, so they left off despoiling the Emerald forest and left
for elsewhere.

Role

Chapter 2

Godhren has died and failed too many times fighting alongside other
other outlanders. When he fights alongside Xinrithil, they are in harmony
because each does his best and no one expects more or different from the
other than the other will actually do. With other outlanders who do not
share this harmony of how many individuals can combine their efforts
without losing their freedom, Godhren has decided their lack of wisdom
means Godhren should fight according to his best judgement, and not charge
in at their word. Godhren is a man, not an army, and this is as it should be.

Role

Chapter 1

Godhren had long known the Dream of the Return could only truly be
accomplished in the hearts and minds of those who move Thera.

Chiril's conversion forced him to realize that the Teachings of the Ancients,
despite his success, must be spread further into the cities by word
if the Dream would be advanced. He spoke to Xinrithil about it, who agreed
that Godhren's actions showed he was one of them regardless if he went for
for a time in the cities to spread the teachings.

Resolved, Godhren decided to meditate before embarking on his new course.
