Domains: Fortifications, the night-watch, vigilance.
Era of ascension: Age of Craggus (~40,000 years ago). Cohort: dead. Died: Lost Ages (~30,000 years ago), when the Laughing Plague killed watchmen at their posts and the bells were rung for funerals until the bell-ringers also died.
Worshipped by: The city-watch institutions of the Craggus era — gatehouse keepers, walltop sentries, the bell-ringers who kept the night-call, and the small standing guards that the rebuilt polities afforded themselves once they could. The cult was the institutional class of the kept-awake. No living culture maintains his worship. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)
Veldrath is protection-as-shield — the carried defense of the active soldier. Verréneth was protection-as-structure: the wall, the gate, the watch-fire on the tower, the bell that rung the warning. His doctrine made a doctrinal distinction between the two postures that the watch institutions defended in writing — Veldrath kept you safe while you acted; Verréneth kept you safe while you slept. The watchmen on his walls were therefore not soldiers in the Veldrath sense; they were the theological complement of the sleeping city, and their rite was the continuous attention itself. Falling asleep on watch was the only mortal sin in the cult's doctrine, and the watch-orders enforced it institutionally.
The Plague did not break the wall and did not silence the bell. It killed the watchmen at their posts, one by one, before they could be relieved. The fortifications stood empty; the gates kept open by default because nobody had closed them; the bells were rung for funerals until even the bell-ringers were gone. The cult's records describe the late phase precisely: watchmen taking shifts at half-strength, then quarter-strength, then alone, then in pairs of one living and one already dead but propped against the wall to keep the appearance of presence — which the doctrine technically permitted under the principle that a corpse on a wall is still a corpse on a wall. The orders dissolved when there were no live priests left to make the determination.
His walls stand in places. His bells, where they survived, were melted for metal during later eras and recast for other purposes. The watch-orders left no continuous tradition.
