003: GORATH

🦍 Gorath, The Primal Titan — Warden of the Worldbone

“Before the fire. Before the frost. There was Gorath — whose roar carved rivers and whose silence shaped mountains.”

✨ Origin Legend

Gorath was born from the Worldbone — the first spine of the earth itself — when the planet exhaled breath and stone. He was shaped not by parents, but by purpose: to keep the balance between rise and ruin. When Vorrak scorched forests or Saerith silenced streams, Gorath stirred. He walks seldom, speaks never, but when his fists fall, mountains weep.

🧬 Lore & Symbolic Alignment

Origin Lore: In the Book of Origins, Gorath is known as the “Third Witness.” He alone remembers the Titan Fall, the Skytear War, and the forming of the Ember Crown. He does not take sides, but acts when imbalance endangers the world’s breath. Temples built in his image are overgrown, buried, and humming with untouched power.
