11.1.44 EIN, THE RESTLESS

"As above, so below."

As an Elder of the Fifth Circle, Ein dedicated his talents not just to understanding how the nature of the immanidivinus pathways within an Elder's spirit gave rise to Their form, talents, and temper, but also to learning just how much they could be altered. How far can the soul and flesh be stretched, twisted, and reshaped in order to create something new? Ein would often follow after members of the Third, Sixth, and Seventh Circles - studying their arts in dealing with the half-formed, fae, and newly forming hive souls of the beasts of Lusternia. It wasn't until the Elder Wars, however, that He was able to put many of His theories to the test.

During the Elder Wars, Ein helped by learning to remove Soulless contamination from the wounded, and then refashioning the corrupted spirit into weapons to strike back at the Heralds. In some cases, He was even able to augment other Elders directly - shaping them horns that could pierce the armor-like skin of the Soulless or hardened flesh that could resist Their corrosive attacks. As a result of this work, He was able to develop the theoretical basis for Elders splintering and fusing their own souls - a theory later put into practice by the Elders left behind during the exodus to the Void.

Having returned to Lusternia, Ein is intensely interested in the splintered gods that now call themselves the mortal races. He especially favours the never content: those that are always seeking growth in all its form: wisdom, power, wealth, and more. For those that follow Ein, the only true failure is to be unchanging.

His symbol is the obsidian butterfly within a circle of gold.
