Paêter

In Guild belief Paêter (ph-aye-terr) is the god responsible for the creation of the world. He created the people and all life on Ersnon. The term used reflects the belief that He is the father (Old English) to all life.

He is said to have bestowed upon the elves guardianship of all his creations. He is said to impart past knowledge of others upon elders through the quintessential stream.

He is largely views as a stern, yet fair Father/Creator who protects his people and banishes the enemies of His people.

A story of warning is told the Mountain children about how Paêter protects the people who give thanks to Him, it is called Paêter’s Guardians.

"As the veil closes on another day, Ensure to Paêter that you pray For His elves will be sent to assure; In sleep you lay safe and secure.

''Sunning your blankets on the darkest nights, Giving warmth where De’orcan’s frost bites, Shedding light in shadows, so no beasts can hide. So, respect and cherish all His pride.''

''Be rewarded, with elves to enchant dreams Reaching out to quintessential streams. Guardians for His messengers most dear: So close those eyes, have no fear.''

''No harm shall befall you tonight. Elves beckon sleep, so you wake of sprite. Your sentinels for the blackened sky"''
