And when the corruption took him, the tainting of his power drove* me *mad. Now, in his absence, it is my power that will give new life to Ateran.*

## Description

In the earliest stories recorded by the Priests of Nurigg, Heronn was described as a tall man with long grey hair that reached his waist and piercing blue eyes, clothed in robes the colour of the sky. He carried a large, leather-bound tome with him wherever he went.

After his corruption, when he appeared to mortals for the first time since Ateran's creation, Heronn took on a form roughly 600 feet tall that was lean and muscular with wild white hair reaching to his shoulders and deep purple eyes. He was clad in a tunic made from the skins of animals and sandals. In his left hand, he carried his book, and in his right hand, he wielded Time's hourglass.

## Personality

Before his corruption, Heronn was described as very kind and loving, particularly towards his creations. He was said to be very careful in his work, often spending centuries at a time in his workshop, creating the life that would populate Ateran.

After his corruption, Heronn became very destructive, seeking to tear Ateran apart and rebuild it from scratch. Due to a remnant of life surviving his attacks, he was never satisfied with the destruction he had wrought upon his creation. The corruption turned him insane. He seemed to periodically express remorse for the fate of the gods who had died at his hand, but he also seemed to consider their deaths vital to his plans. However, sometimes he would relish telling of his slaying of the gods. Heronn never seemed to be truly at peace with himself or his actions, even when he was dying at Chaos's feet.

## Abilities

Unlike the other Primals, Heronn had full control of his power. He was able to create anything he envisioned, though he rarely did so quickly, preferring to spend long periods of time perfecting his ideas. He was one of the few beings who knew how to kill a god, due to Trias revealing the information to him. He was also able to wield the weapons of other Primals, including Time's hourglass and Chaos's scythe. It is unknown what other knowledge he learned from his time in Eternity due to his tome being destroyed with him.

## Activities

Heronn created Ateran and all the life within. After his corruption, he roamed the world seeking out all life to destroy it.

## Relationships

Among the Primals, Heronn was the beloved of Time, and he was rivals with Chaos before they became sworn enemies of each other. Of his children, he was most impressed by Ramok and Trias. However, shortly after he was corrupted, he saw Trias as his greatest threat. He did not have a particularly strong relationship with any of the other gods, aside from Gwyrh and Wyrdh. Gwyrh received his favour because she was so enthralled with his creations. He gave her a spark of his power, which was soon born as a separate deity, Wyrdh. While it is recorded that Wyrdh had no father, the Lord of the Hunted made it clear that he viewed himself as Heronn's youngest son.
