Choices Meant for Gods

Character Portrait from Choices Meant for Gods

The God Hrothmund

Character name: Hrothmund

Status: god

How Kora knows character: her uncle; just legends

Defining characteristic: self-sacrificing

Hrothmund in a nutshell: It almost seems sacrilegious to speak of Hrothmund as merely a self-sacrificing god from Mahriket, but my fantasy author, Sandy Lender, says it’s acceptable to write whatever comes from my heart. Yet Hrothmund was so much more than just a god who gave up everything to save the world. If not for his ultimate act, Onweald and all of the mortal world would have been cast into oblivion during the Second War when Julette attacked Mahriket and forced the battle to spill over onto the continent beneath the Sincfage Mountains.

This event takes place more than 2500 years before the story of Choices Meant for Gods, thus I never met Hrothmund. But stories of his heroic deed are told to children in Mahriket while they’re still in their cradles. He will never be forgotten. I wonder if that ever grates on my father’s nerves…
