Description
Adamant Rod walks Creation rarely now in performing any serious duties. There is a good reason for that. He no longer seems so human anymore. With his refined essence came a body and intellect surpassing his old humanity. His eyes sparkle clear with his Maiden's favor. His hair colour and style seems to change every few decades and for now its long down to his waist and a vibrant blue. His limbs are well formed and well tanned. He dresses in fine heavenly clothes and robes which leave his chest mostly exposed as he walks on sandled feet. He has set his Sidereal hearthstone from his manse into a starmetal artifact belt around his waist.
History</b>
He wasn't always Adamant Rod. Once he was the boy called Wrin. Born in the first decade after the Contagion he found himself in a world ravaged by disease, war, and misery. Quiet as a child he worked hard to try to help his family prosper but there was always something missing. One day after his mother died and his father began to see another woman he just left. No one missed him when he walked off he just left and found his destiny.
Though there was much turmoil still amongst the Sidereals over what had happened the Bronze Faction was strongest still. His mentor was aged and ran a newly created convention at the time the Convention on Populations. The purpose of this Convention was of course to help repopulate the world to strengthen it against the works of the Wyld. Its other purpose was to help increase the number of Dragonblooded in the world as a more immidiate line of defense against the Fair Folk. So this convention helped ensure that Lookshy and the Realm were numerous in their children.
At least thats what it tried to do. The Convention only ever managed to make minor changes. The simple fact of the matter was that the various fertility Gods were only willing to do so much without the direct go ahead from Venus. This never came. They were also unwilling to tread on the toes of Gaia and the Elemental Dragons in regard to the Dragonblooded. The Elemental Dragons did not deign to hear requests on the matter seeming to have taken offense at their progenies failure to uphold their Great Rule and Gaia would not speak with the Sidereals.
They had some successes though even if they were minor. Though it had gotten a lot of attention at the start it lost members as it became clear major success would not be happening and their talents could be used elsewhere. Adamant Rod stayed on though. Over the centuries he and his mentor grew as close as father and son. 200 years ago Adamant Rod was put in charge with the passing of his mentor to never fully healed wounds from the Fair Folk battles after the Great Contagion. This affected him terribly and his personality changed.
In the years since he has become very well known amongst the Gods of Heaven. Jokingly they say his efforts to increase Creation's population has gotten to him as he now tends to be involved in many relationships and affairs at once. A pornstar of Heaven if you will. He even goes to Creation at times to dally with those who catch his fancy. In truth this behavior is his way of dealing and ignoring with his mentor's loss and his own failure to turn the Convention into a success like it was meant to be.
