Blessing of the River G0NF

The Blessing of the River G0NF, also referred to as the First Apparition of G0NF, was a spiritual event that took place outside the city of Renapheus in Eldham in the . 
It began as the USSE Commission of Development had ordered the creation of an artificial canal between the river surrounding the city of Renapheus to the small river and bay in Ythmyrr Beach. Mestur Nethin was in charge of the project and began to ask people from across Eldham in global chat to help build out the canal. 
It was then that a god, identified later as an apparition of G0NF, gave numerous blessings to those working on the project. The canal found itself suddenly dug out and filled with water, glowing cattle and guardians appeared, before finally a relic appeared floating above the river that was later named the Shrine of the Apparition. Finally, the apparition told Mestur Nethin that this river shall be named the River G0NF while lightning struck around the area rapidly, the River G0NF continues to be its name to this day. 
The event resulted in a surge of popularity to the newly born Core Makerist Church and Makerism. The site of the blessing is considered a holy place, with many choosing to be baptized in its water. The site is even revered by folk religions such as Mari Paganists and Oxinto practitioners. The city of Renapheus as a result became a site of holy pilgrimage, that many would come to for spiritual events. The text We Saw the River Flow is about the Blessing of the River G0NF.
A second event, called the Second Apparition of G0NF, took place in Vostroya and Renapheus where the apparition told clergy of the Core Makerist Church including Arika Ronango'O and Pontifex Silus II a prophecy that he [G0NF] would one day return but for now he simply watched to see what was happening in the lives of people.
