Veridius

Veridious is depicted as a tall, lean man with piercing hazel eyes that seem to see every detail. His hair is black, streaked with gray, and pulled back, revealing a forehead marked with intricate geometric tattoos. He's often depicted wearing a long robe covered in patterns resembling city layouts, bridges, and various structures. In one hand, he holds a golden compass, and in the other, a silver straightedge.

From the moment the first civilization wished to expand beyond mere huts and tents, Veridious was there, whispering the secrets of design and stability. He is credited with teaching mortals the principles of geometry, balance, and city planning. His blueprints are the foundation of every major city, every grand temple, and every bridge that spans the vast chasms of the world.

Architects, city planners, masons, builders, engineers, and artisans of all sorts revere Veridious. His temples are often grand architectural academies, where the next generation of builders are trained, and where masterpieces of design and craftsmanship are showcased.

The Rising of Highstone - A city built atop a seemingly inaccessible mountain peak. Legends say Veridious himself provided the blueprint for a series of incredible aqueducts, lifts, and bridges, allowing the city to thrive against all odds and becoming a beacon of civilization's triumph over nature.
