Ronan was an Arkati and the god of dreams and night. He was also the twin of Phoen. He was of the Pantheon of Liabo.

Ronan is the arch enemy of Sheru, due Sheru's intrusion into his nightly realm. Ronan's servants played a major role in the Griffin Sword Wars. He was also at odds with Luukos and was considered the most active against the Arkati of Lornon. The symbol of Ronan is silver-edged black sword. He was also associated with the unicorn.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Solhaven Cleric Guild

In the Hall of Lessons inside the Solhaven Cleric Guild was a holy shrine dedicated to Ronan.

[Cleric Guild, Hall of Lessons]
A shallow alcove of stone to the northwest harbors a statue of a gaunt man with heavy-lidded eyes, his hand resting upon the hilt of a longsword. A black altar stands before the statue, an open tome resting upon its immaculately smooth surface. Throughout the ceiling, glistening white shells have been inlaid into the rock, causing them to twinkle like stars as the candles placed throughout the room flicker softly.
Obvious exits: southeast


>look at Ronan
Gaunt yet stylish, the image of Ronan is nearly identical to that of the statue of Phoen. His eyes, however, are heavy-lidded and his expression is one of bitter irony. His thin hand rests on a drawn longsword, an evocative gesture suggesting he keeps the weapon nearby simply because killing without it would muss his clothing.


K>touch Ronan
You reach out and touch the statue of Ronan.

A warm feeling washes over you, as if Ronan smiled upon you.


K>look at altar
Crafted from deep black steel, the front of the altar has been engraved with the design of a long silver sword. The surface of the altar is perfectly polished, and its color is reminiscent of the darkest of midnights.


K>look at tome
Its cover and pages both a midnight black shade, the passage upon the open pages of this tome are written in a careful, flowing hand with silver ink.
There appears to be something written on it.


K>read tome
In the Common language, it reads:
"The stars in the night sky guide the sailors home. So too shall Ronan guide you to peaceful sleep."

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Liabo is a table inset with disks depicting all of the Liabo arkati, including one for Ronan. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

A black sword, with a silver edge, on a field of black is painted on the crystal disk representing Ronan.

River's Rest Cleric Guild

Located just inside the main building of the River's Rest Cleric Guild is a pair of glaes statues depicting Ronan and Sheru. This room is not considered a holy shrine.

A tall, gaunt man fixes his heavy-lidded eyes on the figure opposite him, his gaze weary but his lips curved in a faint smile which might be mockery or pity. The lips of the jackal-headed man across from him are likewise pulled back slightly, but in a defiant snarl. Both figures stand rigid, each clearly vigilant against the other's encroachment on his domain.

In the Common language, it reads:
"It is in our dreams that we may touch the gods."
