Kuon

Kuon was a Lesser Spirit and former Giantman.

Kuon was the patron of herbs and flowers. Kuon lived in the time following the Ur-Daemon War and reportedly knelt and worked alongside Imaera, as she worked to restore life to Elanthia. It was believed that Kuon convinced the arkati to give medicinal properties to herbs, out of belief that the mortal races need more help than what the arkati might offer. Upon his death, Imaera made him an immortal.

He appeared as a tall giantman, while his symbol was a gold leaf on brown.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Cleric Guilds

Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a state of Amasalen. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.

Although the statue is small it depicts a very tall, very muscular giantman. In one massive hand he holds a pair of pruning shears, in the other is a small branch with the leaves still attached. He is presented as pushing back an unruly shock of hair with his wrist. The grin on his face carries an aura of good-natured gentleness.

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

A deep and rumbling, yet gentle, chuckle rolls through your mind. "The gods help those that help themselves, Orah," says the voice. "Instead of begging for help from the gods, beg the gods to tell you how you can best help, and you will find yourself contented."

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Others is a statue of Kuon. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

Though the statue is small, it is easy to tell that the giantman carved here is of immense proportions. Relatively young, and handsome for his race, he has expressive hazel eyes and light brown hair. Barely covering his shoulders are shimmering robes of green, amber, and brown. The symbol for this giantman is a gold leaf on a field of brown.

River's Rest Cleric Guild

One of the Halls of Lessons in the River's Rest Cleric Guild is dedicated to Kuon. The statue is identical to that in the other Cleric Guilds. It is considered a holy shrine.

[Cleric Guild, Hall of Lessons]
Large deep green tapestries flutter softly along the walls, each of the simple cloth banners stitched with a design of a different healing herb. Narrow channels filled with rich soil house a collection of small plants and flowers, each basking in the sunlight that streams through two large windows overhead. A statue of a man with a gentle-mannered expression on his face stands to the southwest, behind a wooden altar crawling with vines.
Obvious exits: northeast

Fashioned in a simplistic manner from faded driftwood, the altar displays a large, dried golden-hued leaf upon its face. Its uppermost portions house deep brown earth, ivy vines sprouting from the rich soil and trailing down the altar to give it the feel of nature's touch. Upon the surface of the dirt lies an open book.

In the Common language, it reads:
"Plants hold secrets and powers to help us, plants hold beauty unsurpassed. Work to till the earth for plants to live and receive the blessings of Kuon, for the Green knows that each rely on the other for aid."
