Fash'lo'nae, also known as "The Grandfather," was an Arkati and member of the Pantheon of Lornon.


Fash'lo'nae was the god of libraries, forbidden knowledge, and magic. His symbol is a yellow slit-pupiled eye on a field of grey. For many, Fash'lo'nae was not considered evil, but was frowned upon for believing that the pursuit of knowledge outweighed everything else, including innocent life. He was a patron of the Erithians.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Solhaven Cleric Guild

In a Prayer Room inside the Solhaven Cleric Guild was a state of Fash'lo'nae. It was considered a holy shrine.

An elderly man sits on a severe, straight-backed chair. In his lap he holds a thick tome, his place marked by a long, bony finger. The man's face is a mask of cool, scholarly detachment. His slit-pupiled eyes are focused at some spot in the distance.

You reach out and touch the statue of Fash'lo'nae.

A chill runs down your spine, as if you had briefly caught Fash'lo'nae's dread attentions.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

On the Landing of the Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild are a pair of painted wooden statues depicting Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae. In the center of the room stand two statues, one male and one female, backs turned but still looking over their shoulders, each watching the other. They stand upon a wooden base with words carved into the surface. This area is not a holy shrine.

Lumnis and Fash'lo'nae stand, back to back, watching each other warily. Each holds a book, open as if they were reading. While the Queen of Enlightenment holds a book on benevolent knowledge, the Grandfather holds a tome full of destructive learning.

In the Common language, it reads:
"Through knowledge, we bring ourselves closer to the Gods."
