The Seven Patriarchs are the legendary and secretive rulers of the hryngars.1 They issue their decrees from the secluded fortress of Diepkamer in the Darklands region of Nar-Voth, and hryngar leaders occasionally travel there to consult with them.
They are said to be the first hryngars to worship Droskar, who granted them immortality as a reward. The hryngars believe they commune with the god and their proclamations amount to divine law.
However, as of 4708 AR five of the seven Patriarchs had died within the past few years in mysterious circumstances, much to the consternation of the folk of Diepkamer. The remaining two had kept this a secret from the hryngars of the wider world and were frantically seeking a reason for the deaths.2
