Pharados

The Silver Prince
NPC, Deity


Pharados, also known as the Silver Prince, was initially welcomed as a hero when he first arrived on Midora. According to legends, he travelled from village to village, performing miraculous feats and helping those in need. He quickly became beloved by many, and his reputation as a kind and benevolent being spread far and wide. It is said that Pharados possessed incredible powers, including the ability to heal the sick, bring rain to drought-stricken lands, and even raise the dead. He used these powers to help the people of Midora and gain their trust and admiration.

During this time he left behind several offsprings who in turn became heroes in their own right, being called angels of Pharados or simply Saints. However, as time passed, Pharados began to grow distant from the mortals he had once befriended. Some say that he became obsessed with his own power and lost sight of his original mission. Others claim that he was betrayed by those he had trusted and was forced to withdraw from mortal affairs.

Whatever the cause, Pharados eventually retreated to the Capital city of the Dominion, Enghilm, where he ruled over his people through the Dominion Church. His name vanished from scriptures and replaced with the Silver Prince, it became associated with hope and unity, and it is said that those who spoke his true name aloud would suffer dire consequences by the church. The so called Angels and Saints were deemed heretical and a threat against the Silver Prince's authority. The Church established the [organisation:3981605|Dominus Chain] which was the military arm of the fatih. The church of the Silver Dominion is the dominant religious institution, with the Silver Prince at its head. The church believes in the worship of the divine and their influence on the world. The church has a strict hierarchy, with priests and priestesses at the lower levels and the Silver Prince at the top.

The Silver Prince is believed to have divine powers and abilities that can be extended to those faithful to him, and is revered by the people of the Dominion. The church teaches that the Silver Prince protects his people and ensures their prosperity. The Silver Prince is also known for his wisdom and compassion, and is said to be a fair ruler. The Silver Prince is heavily guarded by the Dominus Chain, an elite faction of paladin warriors who are fiercely loyal to him. They are feared and respected throughout the Dominion, and their presence serves as a deterrent to those who would challenge the authority of the Silver Prince.

At the beginning of the Fourth age, some higher ups of the Dominion Church made the discovered that Pharados was part fiend and came from from the infernal world of Tamahirii. After discovering thisl, the higher ups in the Dominion church considered him to be impure and unworthy of ruling as a divine being. They saw him as a threat to their power and influence over the Dominion. In a swift move, they betrayed him by chaining and binding him through a series of powerful rituals. Pharados was sealed away within the Silver City of Enghilm, his divine powers being abused and drained by the Church and the Dominus Chain, and his name was no longer spoken by the Dominion church. However, rumors persist that some members of the church still hold onto their faith in the Silver Prince and believe that he was wrongfully betrayed and imprisoned.

It is unclear how many people within the Dominion church are aware of this betrayal and imprisonment of the Silver Prince. Some believe that it is a closely guarded secret known only to the highest ranking members. Many clerics and paladins who hold true and keep faith in their Silver Prince are unknowingly draining their deity of strength. Even though Pharados was betrayed and imprisoned by his followers, he still holds hope for those who seek redemption and true faith. Some whisper that he even communicates with some of his angelic offspring, guiding them in secret and urging them to fight against the corruption within the Dominion church.

There are also rumors that some within the church are aware of Pharados' imprisonment and seek to free him, believing that his divine power is needed to defeat the growing threats to the Silver Dominion. However, such thoughts are dangerous and heretical, as the official doctrine of the Dominion church is that Pharados willingly ascended to the throne to watch over his followers, and that his absence is a sign of his trust in his church to continue his work on Midora.

"In the heart of marble sanctity, I unveiled the chains that bind the divine. The faithful are draped in illusions woven by the powerful, while truth lies fettered, hidden from their reverent eyes. I painted the silence of gods, not to defy faith but to unshroud the tyranny behind sanctimonious walls. For my brush dared to reveal what they deemed forbidden—a chained deity, the Silver Prince, ensnared within the very bastion of divine adulation." - Unknown Priest
