Description
Even before attaining demigodhood, Lykekro had made quite a name for himself. A gnome born with snow white hair, from a young age he was paranoid that he would have a very early onset of the Bleaching. In an attempt to counteract this, he set off to explore and chart parts of the world very few had ever seen, journeying as far away as the ocean depths south of the Laqto Rainforest and beyond the Northern Wall. Among those from Hellea, he is particularly known for exploring the region now known as Asteria.
Not content with only seeing the Material Plane, Lykekro also extensively traveled across the many planes of the Great Beyond. Much of the up to date information mortal scholars possess about the more remote planes originated in Lykekro’s writings.
Though it has been years since he was last seen, Lykekro was known for his discordant outfit, brightly colored items of clothing that clashed heavily in appearance. In the little time he spent in society, he rarely carried much on him, and was known to have very few possessions save for his traveling kettle and what could fit in his small sack. Some of his followers have adopted the same garb and equipment as well.
The last contact anyone in the Material Place had with Lykekro was in Y9942*, when he visited his sole permanent temple in Oralia, informed his followers there he would be departing to the chaotic outer planes, and vanished soon after. His clerics continue to receive their divine spells, but the god has not been seen nor heard from since.
The most devout of Lykekro’s followers call themselves the Order of the Ever-Wandering and take up the same activities of their god, scouting the farthest reaches of the world and recording their experiences in intricate detail.
Location of worship
