Arenharr
The Shifting Dune
Arenharr, The Shifting Dune, commands the expansive domain of the sands in the desert lands of Greater Qirus. Arenharr is an enigmatic deity of sand, embodying its nature as the ever-changing and enduring face of the desert. Like the dunes that shift and reform under the desert winds, Arenharr is also a deity of change, overseeing the inexorable transformation of the world and all who inhabit it.
Yet, beyond the physical realm, Arenharr also presides over time itself, marking the past's fading footsteps and the future's untrodden paths. As such, the sands under Arenhart's watch are not merely grains of silica but grains of time, each representing a fleeting moment in the grand expanse of history.
Travellers navigating the treacherous desert often call upon Arenhart, seeking guidance through the ever-changing landscapes. They seek solace in the deity's dominion over the sands, hoping to find the right path through the dunes that morph and shift as time passes.
Historians and scribes, too, pay homage to Arenharr. The turning of an hourglass, each grain signifying a moment in time, is an apt metaphor for their work. They record the shifting sands of time, preserving moments of the past even as the world continues to transform. Arenharr's nature as a god of time and change resonates deeply with them.
Arenharr also provides comfort to those experiencing significant changes in their lives. The deity's role as a patron of change serves as a reminder that, like the shifting dunes, life transformations, however disruptive or daunting, are a natural part of existence. It is in these times of great change that Arenharr's presence is most profoundly felt, providing reassurance and guidance amidst life's uncertainties.
Arenhart is often represented in two forms: an hourglass filled with sand, each grain a testament to the deity's dominion over time and change; or as an old, hooded figure, his features weathered by time and hidden in mystery. This figure is typically depicted with a long, flowing beard, a symbol of wisdom. It is said that his eyes, obscured under the hood, see not just the present but the past and future as well, a testament to his mastery.
Through the shifting dunes, Arenharr, The Shifting Dune, is a constant presence in the lives of the people of Greater Qirus, guiding them through the changing landscapes of their world.
