The Herald of Gorum, God of War, is said to have been formed from an unthinking sliver of steel splintered from Gorum's blade eons ago. As a living tool of war, the First Blade has been reforged countless times by Gorum as the face of war evolves. The First Blade does not identify as any particular ancestry; a mirror to his master, the armor and weapon themselves serve as his body—only emptiness lies within. Also like Gorum, the First Blade identifies as male.

Heralds

Heralds are specific representatives of the divine. Most deities maintain a herald, whose task it is to serve as a messenger and agent for the god or goddess among mortal kind. A creature with the herald trait is always unique and typically 15th level (although exceptions sometimes exist). When a herald is slain, their associated deity might restore them to life, replace them with an entirely new creature, or in rare cases, go for a time without maintaining a herald at all.
