The Divine Truth (GM Only)
Cosmic Role: Naeros is the embodiement of the Great Cycle. They were never poisoned, he was put to sleep and trapped within Iskavell. He is the balance between the Winds of Chaos and the Waves of Order.
Role in the Betrayal: The Betrayed. Centuries ago, Naeros prepared to initiate the Purging Current
True Motivation: Naeros is waking up and wants to break free of his ice prison. The Gods are ungrateful creations that prove exactly why this world needs cleansing.
