Lore[edit]
Hairix is known as the Guardian, the True Magi, and the Great Draconic. Hairix represents the compassion of the Touched, their ability to make selfless choices for others. He is the god of magic, with more mage adherents than any of the other deities. Stories say Hairix watches over the material plane as a protector, driving away the darkness that seeks to consume it. Hairix is depicted as a great gold wyvern and is said to speak all languages. His angels are the wyvern of all colors that populate New Meritta. He is also frequently described as the father of the dragonborn in stories. Hairix is often tied to the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. He represents the eternal struggle faced by all of the Touched. Followers of Hairix tend to be adventurous, reveling in the idea that they are special and different. They tend to take fate head on.
Adherents of Hairix[edit]
Adherents of Hairix wear gold and carry with them a maumet of themselves. This represents the body, mind, and soul of the Touched. Each person is made up of all three aspects, but each person also resonantes most strongly with one of the three aspects of the Touched. As such, adherents of Hairix seek to understand their aspect and guide others who share an aspect with them. In many ways, the adherents of Hairix are the most divided because of this. In some ways there are three churches of Hairix that all operate differently. And yet there is common ground amongst the sects; a stalwart commitment to the defense of the Touched and the traits that make them special. They are protectors of not only compassion, but they protect the aspects also connected with the Touched; such as free will. Adherents revere the wyvern, and to see one is said to be good luck.

Lore[edit]
Hairix is known as the Representative, the True Being, and the Great Cycle. He is the god of all races who exercise their will in the world. Not a lot ties the world of humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs; but the ability to think and make decisions for themselves based on more than instinct is the common thread that Hairix represents. Hairix is depicted as a great gold dragon and is said to speak all languages. His angels are the dragons of all colors that populate the earth. Hairix is often tied to the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. He represents more than just the creatures of the greater races, but their eternal struggle. Followers of Hairix tend to be adventurous, reveling in the idea that they are special and different. They tend to take fate head on. They can be found all over the kingdoms.
Clerics of Hairix[edit]
Clerics of Hairix wear gold and carry with them a candle with two wicks. This represents the element that makes the greater races superior. They have both the flame of spirit, and the flame of thought. The greater races have passion and creativity, instinct and fervor, this represents the first wick. Many creatures share this with them, just as many candles have a wick. The greater races also have the ability to think critically, and react according to their desires. This second wick represents the free will that greater races share. As such, clerics of Hairix are defenders of free will and seek to stamp out subjugation and tyranny. They find anything that keeps a member of the greater races from making their own decisions to be an affront to Hairix. Clerics of Hairix tend to be passionate, noble, and just. It is great sacrilege to kill a dragon, even one who is doing evil. But a follower of Hairix who can find no other option can do so but must pay penance to Hairix as soon as they can.
