==Shanth of the Quiet Mind==
==Shanth of the Quiet Mind==
The Vernal God known as Shanth rose from the only Edifice of Power created solely by the aslaran race, a megalithic stone statue called the Claws of Liberty. Shanth was the quietest of the Council of Nine, given to deep introspection and contemplation. Appearing as a giant aslaran with jet black fur and dressed in simple dun-coloured robes, Shanth did not appear as the most formidable of the Vernal Gods. But he certainly was the fastest. Legends often speak of Shanth sitting as still as a rock in meditation yet suddenly jumping up and moving at a speed so great that he was practically invisible. Because of this, he was often called the Starleaper, as his aslaran followers would often boast that he could leap over the stars.

Shanth was a loner and reckoning force unto himself. With great focus, he concentrated his efforts upon Crazen, who had enslaved almost the entire aslaran race who roamed free across grasslands. Those that Crazen did not catch were driven to environments unnatural and hostile to the aslarans. Shanth began stealing slaves from Crazen and taking them to places of relative safety. Though never able to free many of Crazen's slaves, it drove Crazen into a frenzy and he gave chase whenever he spotted Shanth. The great hulk that was Crazen rolled across many miles of open plains, carving great ravines into the earth, pursuing Shanth, who always remained several steps ahead of him. Eventually, Shanth led him into a giant crater at the end of the world and there trapped him forever.

After his ascension to godhood, Shanth was hardly noticed by the other Vernal Gods. That is, not until Crazen suddenly disappeared and D'varsha investigated, soon discovering that it was Shanth and Shanth alone who single handedly defeated a Soulless God, a claim no other Vernal God could make.
