Immortal Powers

Notes on Some Known Woldian Immortal Powers

An Immortal Power is a potent being who is not a god but who is is nonetheless open to veneration and honor.

Geography rules all Powers -- a votary cleric of an immortal Power can reagin spells and use gifts only in the Power's geographic region. Of all the Powers of the Wold, Maab and Eberyon have the greatest reach. Clerics who honor them can regain spells whenever they are in nature (that is, out of doors or in a natural cave, not in a city or town). Votary clerics lose their gifts and cannot prepare spells if they leave their Power's realm. Powers usually know the major events going on inside their realms to some degree. They must rely on agents and allies to learn about eents and areas outside their realms.

Other Powers (aside from Ebryon and Maab) are MUCH more limited. Clerics of Culverwood can only regain spells while IN the Culverwood. This makes Powers far less attractive for most clerics.

Most Powers have only two domains. Minor Powers have just one. Eberyon is the exception with 5, because he used all four elements to create the Wold's Cradle.

The companions will not go outside their Power's realms.

Celsiun: The original Power of Ice Vein
Who/What is he: An ancient Fey of the original noble court, who left upon Ebyron's sleep and Maab's leaving. He came to a place in the Southern Continent and created a home. He secreted away Ebyron's wedding ring into the Vein and warded it against Maab and other Fey from finding it. Set undead guards and took a Soul Machine during the Year of Ascension to place in the Vein to further protect the ring. He wished it to be found by non Fey when the time was right in the hope Ebyron would return.
Geographic Region: All of Ice Vein.
Relative Strength: Moderate
