Wol (old)

Wol is the Lord of Earth, and one of the four creators of The Mortal Realm. He created the earth on which all of The Mortal Realm rests, and it is he who holds the world together. In his absence, all things would crumble back into dust, and the world would be void once more. Only in winter does Wol get to rest, as Lyra watches over both land and seas, embracing all things in frost and snow. In spring he awakens yet again, and brings life back into the world together with his wife.

He lives with Lyra deep beneath the earth, under the roots of The Great Oak. There, in his vast halls, he houses all mortal souls whose lives have ended, so that they may rest safely. Like the other creators of The Mortal Realm, he is largely forgotten by the advent of the wild things, remembered only by his mortal kin.

Tenets and Taboos
Cultivate strength, says Wol, in body as in mind as in spirit. Aid others, but never serve them - let others aid you, but never serve you. Stand side by side, not over and under. Show patience and restraint, but strike hard and without hesitation when the time is right. Let actions speak in place of words.
