Haern was created by [[Varian]], the Celestine, shortly after the birth of [[Severn]] and [[Lanos]] in the [[First Immortal Epoch|Age of Creation]]. He was formed as part of a Triad that represented the Cycle of life and death - [[Lleis]] was His sister, and [[Dhar]] was His brother. | Haern was created by [[Varian]], the Celestine, shortly after the birth of [[Severn]] and [[Lanos]] in the [[First Immortal Epoch|Age of Creation]].

In the year 63 MA, while Lanos was lost in the realm of shadows, Haern was preoccupied by an invasion of creatures of darkness. When He finished hunting them, he turned his attention to [[Eleusis]] and the [[Great Oak]], declaring that it was time to awaken the only tree of power still dormant and use its power to build the [[Duiran|Duiran Council]]. | In the year 63 MA, while Lanos was lost in the realm of shadows, Haern was preoccupied by an invasion of creatures of darkness. When He finished hunting them, he turned his attention to [[Eleusis]] and the [[Great Oak]], declaring that it was time to awaken the only tree of power still dormant and use its power to build the [[Duiran|Duiran Council]]. It was not a simple feat, however, and He quarreled with [[Slyphe]] over who would act as patron over the Council. This caused the Maelstrom to sabotage the ritual that the Hunter would need to use in order to awaken the Great Oak. After a short conflict, both Gods agreed to share patronage of the Council and the ritual was attempted once again, this time with success. | ||
In the year 168 MA, after having disappeared from mortal perception for many years, Haern once again returned to the [[Prime Material Plane]]. | |||
In the year 324 MA, Haern endeavoured to rid the [[Aalen Forest]] of the plague that the [[Dreikathi]] had brought to it many years before. Following a communion with the spirits of [[Dendara]], He suffered an injury that would gradually weaken Him over the course of the following months. [[Auresae]] was beseeched to diagnose the Hunter's curious affliction, and discovered that it was the work of [[Severn]], who used this as an opportunity to ambush the Lady of Fire and the Hunter. Just as it seemed like They would be cut down by Their sibling, a human refugee of the slave quarries of [[Delve]] by the name of [[Danerran]] bravely placed himself between the Gods. This distraction proved fatal for Danerran but allowed Haern and Auresae to counterattack, shattering the [[Axiom]] of Severn in the process. The Divine essence released by the breaking of the Axiom infused the corpse of Danerran with power and raised him up as a new God - [[Damariel]], the Unbound. It was then revealed that He was the reborn essence of Lanos and that [[Arion]] had sacrificed His own essence to fuel Damariel's creation. | |||
