Once, Iasorin was a god beloved by mortals. Unlike his divine kin, who watched from afar, he walked among the people, listened to their suffering, and answered their prayers not with judgment, but with love.

He gave them everything—blessings, miracles, protection. And they loved him for it. But love turned to expectation, and expectation to demand.

They wanted more.

More miracles. More answered prayers. More divine intervention.

And when he began to falter, when even a god could not grant every wish, they turned away from him.

Their temples emptied. Their voices faded. Their prayers sought new gods, stronger gods, crueler gods who demanded worship but gave little in return.

Iasorin was left alone. Forgotten. And stone overtook him, piece by piece, until he was nothing more than a broken statue in an abandoned temple—just another ruin of a god who loved too much.

Ways to Interact with Him:

Call his name (if you can remember it). The wind might carry back a sigh.

Offer something meaningful. A token of lost love, a letter never sent, a promise never kept—these are the things that still reach him.

Stay a while. The forgotten do not ask for much. Perhaps all he ever wanted was for someone to stay.

Fable I: The God Who Loved Too Much

(How Iasorin Fell from Grace)

Once, among the divine, there was a god unlike the others. The gods built their thrones high above, watching mortals struggle, weeping, and yearning. They said: “Let them suffer, for suffering is fleeting, and they will find their own way.”

But Iasorin, with his heart too soft, could not look away.

He stepped down from his celestial halls and walked among them. He wiped the tears of children, mended the broken vows of lovers, and answered prayers that no other god would hear.

The other gods warned him: "Mortals take and take. They will ask for your miracles, but they will not remember your kindness."

Iasorin did not listen.

For centuries, he gave and gave, filling empty hands and empty hearts. And for a while, they worshipped him. His name was spoken in temples, and his likeness was carved in stone.

But the mortals grew greedy. A god who gives can never give enough. They demanded more, until there was nothing left. And when Iasorin, exhausted and hollow, could not fulfill their endless desires, they turned away.

One by one, the temples emptied. The prayers ceased. His name was forgotten.

And so, the god of longing longed for the first time.

His divine body, now frail with sorrow, collapsed into stone. The gods watched in silence as his temple crumbled, and his figure was left to erode, piece by piece.

Even his name faded from the tongues of mortals, but the wind still carried his sorrow. And some say, if you listen carefully in abandoned places, you can hear his final words:

"I only wanted to love them. And I only wished to be loved in return."
