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.

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]].
