Hinrich: The God of Stories

Deep within the Alderman Mountains lies one of the most elusive cities Simul has to offer. This elusiveness also spreads to their own internal worships and religions. However, one religion has come to light in the masses. The main practices that the dwarves of Dun’Lorn have kept secret for centuries. Shortly after the War of the Brothers, the dwarves shared some of their home life with the rest of Simul. This included the teachings of Hinrich: God of Stories.

In some of the most ancient stories, Hinrich was once a human who had an almost insatiable lust for knowledge. He learned all that he could about his tribe, his city, and his people before setting about learning the other races he could find. He learned everything he could about the old world and those who lived in it. Eventually, he became arrogant and began to hoard his knowledge from the rest of the world.

There were whispers though...Whispers that this man had poured through ancient texts of gods and worship. It has been said he began to piece together how to cross into the realm of the gods to uncover all the knowledge that he could ever desire. So, when he finally crossed over, the gods were less than pleased with this interloper breaching their world to steal their knowledge. They cursed him to wander the world and collect all known knowledge and record it for them and to never stop moving and collecting it for them as long as he may exist. He slowly gained godlike power over the mortal plane…

The people who worship this man, Hinrich, tend to be very introverted. Oftentimes striving for knowledge, Followers of Hinrich often achieve high levels of education. Not just one subject either, these followers will, more often than not, seek to expand their knowledge to the highest degrees they can in each and every subject they can. You can find them worshipping in the temple laid out in Temples of Unity or traveling to Dun’Lorn in order to find better ways to thank and ask for help from the God himself.
