Orranoth

The Lord of Magic had done little in many years. Though he returned his gaze to Radanuh and surrounding regions. The lands were green, and the people were slowly adopting more civilized customs from others.

 He needed to establish the favor of his followers once again. Radanuh had grown over the years. Orranoth descended into an old man, Rad, as his name was, a sixty five year old man. Also, happening to be a wizard, and master of Three Words of Power, the power of Thunder. He dared not master anymore Ideals than that, as he wished to remain Human. 

He was not the most powerful Wizard in the land, but he used his power to defend his people from wild beasts, bandits and some say even tribes of cannibals. He had other friends but he was regarded as a wise man, not just a powerful mage. 

This wizard would find favor from Orranoth. "Rad. . .you have found favor with Orranoth, Lord of the Skies and Master of All Magicks. If you will but erect a shrine in my name, I will establish a covenant with you. You and your lineage will never die, and you will rule over the Kingdom of Orraduh for one hundred years. Until your children find disfavor with me, your family shall rule forever."
"Though one day your family may lose their royal blood line, you are the first Dynasty of my chosen people." 
Magically, Orranoth had Rad rise out of his bedding, and begin to scribe on a scroll. "These are my commands. You will guard knowledge of magic, and establish the Kingdom with many wisemen. You shall teach responsibility, and gentleness with power. The measure of a man is what he does with power. You will not use your power to conquer those weaker than you, except to liberate them from misery."
"Do these things and our covenant will be long and you will prosper. Those who use magic arts will come from all over to teach you, you will, and you will teach others. "

-5 Conviction (in Domain), Orranoth establishes a covenant with Radanuh. The people learn magic more easily and their restrictions of magic, such as insanity from wizardry, and the other disadvantages are loosened, but not taken away. In addition to people having a better talent with magic, Orranoth's Covenant with Rad basically makes Orraduh a magocracy headed by Rad's bloodline. Magic users would tend to flock to Orraduh in order to teach there, effectively making the country "Hogwarts", for the world of Ashuruh. The terms of the Covenant is that Orraduh must responsibly accrue and teach magic wisely, and not abuse others through their power. In return, Orranoth ensures that the Mandate Of Heavens will keep Orraduh prosperous. By the way, the language of "You and your lineage will never die" doesn't mean Rad is immortal, rather, it's poetic language to mean the Covenant is eternal. Even when the Mandate of Heavens eventually passes to another family, it's impossible stop the blood line from continuing, and the other family will take on the privileges and responsibilities that Rad's family lost. For now though, Rad's family is the most gifted from Orranoth's Boons. As a result, Rad has regained his youth for no, and Orraduh worships Orranoth as their Patron god.
