Soan: Difference between revisions

==Biography==

Soan was one of the strongest warriors in the service of the goddess [[Ashera]], and in the aftermath of the [[Great Flood]], he was chosen along with [[Altina]] and [[Dheginsea]] to defeat [[Yune]] after she was stripped from Ashera's being. To help her fight Yune, Ashera empowered Soan with a potent blessing, giving him the ability to pierce divine protection and harm Yune.<ref>{{Cite|When Ashera set out to defeat me, she gathered her strongest warriors and bestowed on them some of her power. This is called the Goddess's Blessing… She empowered the dual swords of the beorc swordswoman, Altina.

In deference to you, I will place my faith in your kind one last time. For the next thousand years, I shall sleep as well. When I wake again, I hope it is to a world of peace and order, where all prosper as equals. If I do, then I will know that you have advised me well. I will reward your counsel. I will also allow Yune to return to me. I will once again be the goddess of creation, whole and complete. Ashunera, the Dawn Goddess… The name your ancestors gave me so long ago. I should like to hear it again. However, during this thousand years, if the chaos of war should arise and awaken Yune from her slumber in the medallion… I will know that you have strayed from your path, and I will punish your failure as I would reward your success. And then you will know my judgment. You will pay for your sins, each of you to the last.<br>'''Lehran:''' In the names of our people, we vow to keep this covenant. There will be no great war between laguz and beorc for a thousand years.
