The Church of Kwainin

When the High God created the land and brought forth Austinian and Necrucifer, he brought Kwainin as well: the Keeper of the Balance, the unbiased eye. Like his brethren, he was neither born nor made; he is eternal. Legends picture him in long flowing robes with a tidy white beard, his wise face fair and rarely judgmental.

Kwainin watches over every conflict to see that both sides are balanced, and he has been known to step in when they are not. His followers are zealots who have turned on their own friends to appease their demanding god. With Zandreya he raised four children: Cliath, Sebatis, Turpa and Raije.

When the gods agreed to send one of each pantheon against Malachive, it was Kwainin who brokered the bargain, having Austinian and Necrucifer choose each other's children, and he chose Raije for himself. After Turpa was murdered, Kwainin would not risk the rest of his family in what he saw as the Light's war, and he blames Austinian in part for sparing Malachive.

With Necrucifer gone and Drakkara's power absolute, Kwainin has declared that the scales of the Balance have broken. No longer trusting the other gods to keep it, he led the Neutral gods into a cavern of gems that Cliath had hidden on Icewall, and together the five made the first Crystal Dragons, guardians of Algoron and agents of the Balance.
