Berann

Berann is a figure of serenity and strength, his muscular form a stark contrast to his gentle spirit. His face, though blind, is marked by a tranquil, knowing smile. His hands, capable of diverting rivers, are always open in a gesture of giving. Berann's blindness is not a weakness but a testament to his unique insight. He perceives the world through the vibrations of the earth and the whispers of the wind, and it is said he can hear the songs of the rivers. His story began when Gigornia faced a great drought, and the land cried out for nourishment. Berann, forsaking the violence of his kin, chose instead to serve, to bring life back to the land.

Berann's followers are those who see the interconnectedness of all living things, who value life and seek to nurture it. Farmers, healers, and wanderers find solace in his teachings. His monks, who have chosen to blind themselves, are known as the Water Walkers. They traverse Gigornia, tending to the sick lands, healing them with waters summoned by their faith and hands.

Berann is revered for the Miracle of the Thousand Streams. In an era marked by scarcity, when the crops had failed and the people despaired, Berann walked the land. With his touch, he coaxed forth a thousand streams from the dry riverbeds, each finding its way to ailing fields and withering groves. The Miracle not only saved the people from famine but also reminded them of the sanctity of nature and the power of a single act of kindness.
