A god of man that was a man himself who ascended to divinity after playing his part in the conflict historically known as the War of Sword and Serpent. He represents man’s versatility and the ethics that define human rights. He is iconic of mankind’s potential for heroism and also their hope of attaining absolute morality and a higher sense of being.
The term Zadik means “Saint” in elvish and is usually dropped off by human worshipers. He lived as a man and is reputed as the originator of the Ayaten fighting traditions. To many elves who follow the ways of the Fair Gods, he is seen as a non-divine hero and saint who is worshiped by men who have elevated him beyond his station. Many more elves worship him in their prayers as a protector of the Witte Wieven, or Fair Maids of the Seasons.
He is worshiped by some as a retributive god due to his hatred for the wrong and unjust treatment exacted upon humanity by the dragons while he lived as a man. He is worshiped by others as a god of sacrifice, a representation of the pure importance of mortality and how it is the ultimate gift to be surrendered for worthy causes because of how he ended his life. It is said that his lance pierced the heart of Ashmadia, a foul dragon matron who led great armies against the elven nation of Tulamera. His followers believe the following:
♦ Exact vengeance on those who wrong the innocent who cannot seek retribution themselves.
♦ Uphold the rights of those who do not violate those rights.
♦ Defend the innocent from the vile threats of life with your life.
