  • Hoeth
rdfs:comment
  • As the Lord of Wisdom, Hoeth is the embodiment of erudition, and patron of all who search for greater understanding; the Elves believe it was he who gifted their race with much of the knowledge they now take for granted. Opinion is divided on precisely why Hoeth did so. Most Elves believe Hoeth's actions were founded in generosity, but some mutter darkly of how knowledge leads to progress, and progress inevitably leads to the ruin of tradition. Whatever the motivation, legend tells that when Asuryan learned of Hoeth's actions, he rebuked the Lord of Wisdom, and in punishment, set much of Hoeth's great library ablaze.
  • Hoeth is the Scholar God, the personification of erudition and patron of all those who seek eduction. The Elves believe that it was Hoeth who gave their race the knowledge and intelligence it now takes for granted. Hoeth's true motives for doing so are a topic of debate. Some believe that this was an act of altruism on the Gods part, whilst others believe that such knowledge is a curse, one that will ultimately lead the Elves to ruination. Whatever the truth is, for this act, Hoeth was punished by Asuryan and much of his library was set ablaze. The Tower of Hoeth in Saphery is named after him.
