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]]. 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. In the [[First Mortal Epoch]], Lleis challenged the Pantheon to build homes for mortals to gather and flourish within, and Haern was crowned as the winner of the competition for painstakingly dotting the landscape of Sapience with trees and forests and hills and valleys - truly a home for a majority of life. | ||
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 63 MA, while Lanos was lost in the realm of shadows, Haern was preoccupied by an invasion of creatures of darkness.

In the year 473 MA, mortals in Duiran began to despair at the absence of the Hunter. It was soon revealed that He had been captured by the [[Cult of Kaarn]] and was in danger of having His essence stripped away by His captors. Warriors from both Duiran and [[Enorian]] entered the site of His prison, [[Prophet's Hollow]], in a rescue attempt that resulted in many deaths. When it seemed as if the Cult was going to succeed, Slyphe miraculously arrived to save Its brother. In the aftermath, it was discovered that Kaarn's prison had been weakened during the melee. | In the year 473 MA, mortals in Duiran began to despair at the absence of the Hunter.

In the year 476 MA, during the chaos and conflict caused by the [[Leviathan]], Haern led His followers on a hunt for a monstrous boar that had been twisted by the blood of [[Golgotha]]. When the beast was slain, Haern used a bone from its corpse to forge a new spearhead, which was then combined with wood from the Great Oak to form a powerful weapon that He hoped might assist in the destruction of the Leviathan. | |||

The Temple of Thorns is Haern's central point of worship in [[Sapience]]. Located in the [[Dun Valley]] in the deepest reaches of the swampland, it contains an expansive courtyard and the Altars of Instinct, Defiance, Destruction, and Severity can be found here, each representing one of the tenets of His religion. The courtyard is home to three massive trees - the Tree of Whispers, the Blood Tree, and the Ivory Tree. The horn of [[Huwald]] is located here in the Temple. | The Temple of Thorns is Haern's central point of worship in [[Sapience]].
