Nasus

Nasus the Anointed Nasus has lived his whole life in the sacred precinct of the healing spring. Nasus figures there's been.a spring here since the beginning of the world, or since some passing deity split the stone to make it, maybe to save their lover. But the spring is still here and still a site of pilgrimage. The ancient men put up a henge on the spot; more recently the Imperials built a palace nearby and built a lovely house for the spring with tiled mosaics and statues, before they mostly pissed off back where they came from. Nasus claims descent from some Imperial legate or general, but mostly he's loyal to the spring. He is uncomfortably aware that he's not a very good Anointed One, he gets in fights and isn't celibate, but his friend the historian says that the Anointed have always been like that. Prolonged exposure to the healing waters lengthens life but also increases a man's appetites. In a time when everything is breaking apart, the Source abides as a place of healing and faith for all. He will give his life and breath to protect it and pass it on to the next generation.
