Zed "The Great Sky"

Zed "The Great Sky" is believed to have been a deity that existed thousands of years ago when the world was being formed. Zed is acknowledged by the vast majority of Salmirians as their prime deity, and that the effects of his actions are still being played out to this day.

Zed created the first sentient life on Salmir in the form of the Wildwood Spirits. These spirits, barely will-o-the-wisps, were given immense powers by Zed as he believed that the spirits could be trusted to maintain balance should he cease to exist. However, the Wildwood Spirits grew malevolent during creation of the Berten and Tieflings, and the latter race took on a more evil appearance regardless of intentions. The Wildwood Spirits taught the Berten and Tieflings about Zed by referring to him as 'The Great Sky' and that no matter where they went, the Sky would be with them and the spirits would be with the Sky. Zed, maintaining his non-interference plan, was saddened that his creation became manipulative and menacing, but was given a bit of hope when he saw what the Tieflings and the Berten could accomplish. When the time came for Zed to cease controlling Salmir's natural flow, the Wildwood Spirits were not prepared and felt abandoned. They moved to the large cliffs on Salmir's western coast and reside in the Congregation Grounds.

What happened to Zed is still a mystery, but one the Wildwood Spirits are not willing to investigate any further.
