Eidolons are historical Apostolisian heroes.

In the Apostolosian Empire of the Golden era (COUNTER/Weight), it is common to choose an Eidolon as a model for one's values. There are six (one of which changes over time, as it takes the sitting Apokine as reference).

In Stel Apostolos of the Principality era (PARTIZAN and PALISADE), the amount of Eidolons has greatly expanded. They have also grown additional cultural use. Most Apostolisians affix part of the name of their Eidolon to their root name to form their full forename. This also supplies a possible pronoun (though they/them is also generally appropriate). An example would be Cas’alear Rizah, whose Eidolon is Cassander, and uses cas/cas' or them/them pronouns.

Notes

  1. All the original Eidolons except the Apokine are modified references to some of the gods of Hieron (Samol, Samotine, Samonta, Samot, and Samothes), with Sam- replaced by Apo- and minor changes in spelling/pronunciation. Their domains are also taken from the associated gods.
