Abraham Zachariah

Abraham Zachariah, the God of Legends and Lore, stands as a timeless figure in the vast pantheon of Tolria and Osira. He is a deity born from the stories, histories, and legends told by sentient beings across the Prime Plane, preserving the knowledge of the cosmos so that the wisdom of the ages is never forgotten. Often seen as an inspiring guide to bards, scribes, and storytellers, Abraham transcends the bounds of any one realm, his influence stretching across planes and time itself.

The Living Library

Abraham’s true home is an expansive demi-plane known as The Living Library. This infinite and ever-expanding dimension of knowledge is filled with endless corridors of impossibly long and tall bookshelves, towering high into the void above. The library is alive with paper cranes and creatures, each folded into existence by Abraham’s magic, tirelessly sorting tomes in fluttering streams of parchment. The sound of rustling pages fills the air as these creatures dart between the aisles, organizing the eternal flow of knowledge.

At the epicenter of this cosmic repository is Abraham’s desk—a simple but ancient structure surrounded by the most sacred tomes of history. From here, Abraham meticulously transcribes new knowledge, chronicling the stories of the cosmos, writing them into the very fabric of the universe itself. His quill dances across parchment, each stroke a thread in the endless tapestry of creation. Legends say that Abraham Zachariah holds a strong kinship to Unknown-the god whom created created life-as Abraham works tirelessly to ensure that the memory of which persists. Together, they embody both existence and its preservation, intertwined in their divine purposes.

The Eternal Wanderer

Despite his ties to the Living Library, Abraham has an insatiable wanderlust and is often found roaming across planes in search of new stories and knowledge. His travels have made him a fabled figure in many realms, where he is known to take on countless appearances—sometimes as a wandering bard, sometimes an artisan, and at other times a quiet, contemplative writer. These guises allow him to weave unnoticed through the lives of mortals, learning from their stories, their triumphs, and their struggles.

Abraham has a unique affinity for mortal beings, as their stories are ever-changing, unlike the timeless and often stagnant tales of gods. He finds mortal experiences to be vibrant, raw, and full of emotion. This constant evolution fascinates him, and he often argues that the stories of mortals carry more weight than those of gods, who, in his opinion, are bound by narratives that have already been written long ago. It is in the imperfections and uncertainties of mortal lives that he finds the most beauty.

Bonds of the Divine

Abraham’s relationship with other gods is as varied as the stories he loves. Chief among these is his bond with Floki, the God of Luck and Chance. The two deities share a deep friendship rooted in their shared love for freedom, spontaneity, and the unpredictability of life. Abraham often regales Floki with tales from across the cosmos, while Floki, ever the trickster, adds a layer of chaos to their interactions, making their encounters lively and unpredictable.

Their friendship influences the lives of mortals, as Floki’s unpredictable blessings often entwine with the stories Abraham preserves, leading to legends of chance encounters, miraculous luck, and fateful twists that shape history. Their combined presence has led to legendary feats being recorded in Abraham’s tomes, marked forever by the whims of luck and the enduring power of storytelling.

The Keeper of Legends

Though often jovial, Abraham bears the immense responsibility of ensuring the preservation of knowledge. His passion for stories—whether of mortals or gods—drives him to safeguard the essence of history. For him, each tale, no matter how grand or small, holds a place in the grand library of the universe. The chronicles of entire civilizations are housed within his library, protected from the ravages of time, and the inevitable descent into oblivion.

Abraham’s deep connection with Aether reflects this responsibility. Where Aether fosters life, Abraham preserves its memory. This bond between brothers ensures that life, in all its forms, is not only created but remembered, written into the cosmic annals forever. Beyond mortal stories, Abraham is also tasked with recording divine knowledge of the Unknown when called upon by Helios.

Abraham Zachariah is more than a god of lore and legend; he is the eternal storyteller. His presence within the Living Library and his journeys across the planes ensure that the wisdom of the cosmos endures, that stories are told and retold, and that history—whether divine or mortal—never fades into obscurity. His affinity for the mortal experience, his close bond with Floki, and his tireless pursuit of knowledge make Abraham a cherished and revered figure among the deities, forever weaving the fabric of existence with the ink of memory and the threads of myth.

Abraham Zachariah, the eternal storyteller, has crossed paths with The Sunsations—an infamous band of adventurers—on several occasions. As their journeys led them through both mortal and divine realms, Abraham's presence, whether intentional or accidental, often provided key moments of insight, humor, and fortune. His appearances are as enigmatic as the stories he collects, and though he has worn many faces during their meetings, his intent has always been clear: to observe, record, and sometimes, subtly nudge the course of fate.

Encounter in the Shadowfell

One of the more bizarre encounters took place in The Shadowfell, where the Sunsations discovered Abraham in a rather precarious situation—he was being roasted over a spit by two Death Giants. Unbothered by his grim predicament, Abraham had been happily recording the giants' conversations about their conquests in the name of the Night Mother Nyx, goddess of curses and change. The giants, oblivious to the fact that their prisoner was a god, reveled in their tales of slaughter and loyalty to Nyx, unaware that Abraham was more interested in documenting their stories than suffering any actual harm.

What caught Abraham’s attention most, however, was a whispered legend among the giants—a secret mortal imperfection that the Night Mother Nyx guards with fervor, a flaw known to no one, save perhaps the giants’ ancient folklore. As the Sunsations ambushed and defeated the giants, Abraham—completely unaffected by the flames—greeted the party with a jovial grin and shared in their victory by recounting a legend of their own triumph, weaving their deeds into his growing tapestry of cosmic stories. It was an odd but memorable meeting, as Abraham showed once again that not even the Shadowfell’s grim bleakness could keep him from his beloved craft of storytelling.

Journey to the Sands of Serrakhan

Their third encounter occurred in The Sands of Serrakhan, where Abraham, ever the wanderer, posed as a Tolrian artist, inspired by the harsh beauty of the desert sands. Introducing himself as nothing more than a creative soul, he led the Sunsations to the plateau peak of the Sun Temple, a sacred place where ancient magic still stirred. The Sunsations, tasked with destroying the Ebony Amulet—a relic of Malekith the Usurper, whose necrotic magic threatened to awaken long-dormant evils—found themselves guided by Abraham's seemingly casual suggestions.

With Abraham’s subtle guidance, the Sunsations reached the Sun Temple’s peak, where the Ebony Amulet was finally destroyed, releasing the trapped souls and shattering Malekith’s lingering power (see: Solace of the Sun). Throughout the event, Abraham scribbled notes on their bravery, their failures, and their ultimate victory, weaving their deeds into the annals of Osira's great legends. As always, he vanished shortly after the victory, his task of recording their story complete, though no doubt amused by their realization that the "artist" who had accompanied them was none other than the God of Legends and Lore.

Abraham’s encounters with the Sunsations, though rare and often shrouded in mystery, have left a lasting impact on their adventures. Whether by happenstance or by divine design, his presence weaves through their stories like a thread through a tapestry, ensuring that their deeds are remembered in The Living Library. The Sunsations, in turn, have left their mark on him—a band of adventurers whose tales continue to evolve in ways even Abraham cannot predict.
