The Dhe’nar View of the “Gods”: Voln (Lesser Spirit)
11/29/2006
The Dhe’nar first learned of Voln upon making initial contact with the fledgling human Empire. It was clear that Voln was an ascendant (of sorts), and they could find nothing to disprove the claim that he was the half-mortal son of Koar. The First Born took interest in his teachings, long enough to:
A) Determine that they were far too simplistic, almost childishly so, on the subject of the undead, and
B) Dissect his cult and figure out how to obtain the abilities he grants his followers (read: Sympathetic Magic) without actually dedicating themselves to his teachings.
Thus, the First Born are able to tap Voln’s power by going through the motions of his rituals, without ever needing to join his crusade against the unliving. They’ve separated the philosophy taught and the abilities granted by Voln, so that they need not necessarily take one with the other.
