 The Cleansing Tide, however, is known amongst Tender Church circles as a fickle, uncaring godling. ​ Suggestions this is to do with a Tender Priest abandoned in the desert are completely unfounded. The Cleansing Tide, however, is known amongst Tender Church circles as a fickle, uncaring godling. ​ Suggestions this is to do with a Tender Priest abandoned in the desert are completely unfounded.
 +
 +Having spent a wild journey through an impossible universe inside a cube, The Cleansing Tide managed to recover some of his body in completely random circumstances,​ and gained enough money to purchase a new boat.  Having created a black swan in which his friend Anabel now resides, it's aptly named //The Crimson Swan//​. ​ The curse from Sinna was also removed, at the cost of permanently black lips.

 +===== Hewett Strang =====
 +
 +Hewett Strang, a Strossbourgian Pathfinder on the ark carrying the Strossbourgian people to Acryn. During the journey the sky cracked and fragments of mirror rained down upon those guiding the ark. Doctors quickly removed glass from the injured, but despite him having wounds they were unable to find any shards. The terrible truth was quickly revealed the next day, he became aware of the entities which had possessed him and their terrible nature. He immediately informed the mages, hoping that he could be saved by an application of magic, but the resources of the ark were limited and could not stretch to empowering him as a perfected warrior. After much discussion about what could be done he volunteered to be set adrift, ​ better to die at sea than risk the lives of those on the ark with either a God draining their life force or risk the cataclysmic destruction a God might unleash if killed aboard ship.
 +
 +Unfortunately the power he inherited has denied him even this, you were washed up on an island and recovered by a passing merchant ship. He reached Acryn ahead of the Ark. There is only one glimmer of good news, somewhere on this continent is his brother Otto, who will definitely know what to do next.
 +
 +Unable to meet with Otto, Hewett worked with the Mages Evan and Thorn to remove the divinity through a large ritual. ​ The other personalities under suggestion from Evan agreed, and the Cleansing Tide was removed from Hewett. ​ In the process, though, by giving each “Hugh” legitimacy, the idea of control has been somewhat thrown up in the air.
