==Foulings==

Minor death gods of the [[Ghidrane tribes]], the Fou'long, or -- as certain less careful scholars insist on naming them, the Foulings -- were destroyed utterly during battle with [[Anwar of the Seven Shallow Rivers]]. Squat, bear-like beings, whose meeping cries would often be heard during the dark of the moon, it is likely that they enforced some of the [[ritual taboos]] of the tribes with they were associated. However, it must be noted that for all their reputed ferocity, most surviving legends associated with them suggest that at best, they are minor -- though grim -- trickster spirits, and it is unlikely that all would be involved in an attack on a small village. To begin with, it is unlikely that enough of the no doubt many and varied taboos of the Ghidrane would be violated by the inhabitants of one small village to merit such attention. It is perhaps more likely that the destruction of the gods in the tale of this battle refers to the utter subjugation of the tribes by an outside force, which is symbolised (or perhaps was historically associated with) the mythical hero, Anwar. As did many things during this period, the dissappearance of this vital Northen culture no doubt contributed to the [[Destruction of Gem]].

==Deionarius the Imprudent==

The history of this individual is regarded by the majority of scholars as indicative of the insular and overconfident *Fifteen Heavens Dancing Period of the *Grey Serpent Interregnum between the Ninth and Tenth Primordial Wars -- however, it seems clear that his reputation is underserved, following the discovery of hitherto unseen records dating to that period in the White Temple of X'arr.

Born in an icy fishing village in one of the more bleak regions of the North to peons of no particular importance, Deionarius soon excelled himself in whale hunts and other quaint activities common to that area, until he was approached by the Fair Folk queen Elan, who wished to make him her paramour. What happened next is unclear -- however, he returned to his home with a bearing he'd previously lacked and abilities that seem, at first glance, to be not unlike those of the Anathema, perhaps accounting for his reputation amoungst the more doctrinally orthodox of our bretheren. (The queen was never seen again.) His epithet derives from his destruction of the remaining fragments of the [[Alabaster Stars of Imran]] -- here is evidence that the Stars were by this point considered to be a metaphorical term for a body of doctrine, whatever may have been the case in previous ages -- which proved to be his undoing during the brief upsurge in Primordial activity that signalled the termination of the Period.
