Sturovenen the Dragoneagle was a second-generation spirit guide and Sarkorian god of leadership whose dawn-feathered children were summoned by the god callers of the Sarkorian Neverhome Clan. He was one of the more widely worshiped Sarkorian gods, and by 4724 AR he had a growing number of surki worshipers in Sarkoris.

He was destroyed in 4724 AR while attempting to prevent a warshard of Gorum from reopening of the Worldwound.

History

Sturovenen the Dragoneagle was the son of the first-generation spirit guides Dragon and Eagle; Dragon was later killed by Dahak and Eagle flew into a distant star to spawn a new civilization. Sturovenen became the most prominent spirit guide of the second generation after Stag Mother's retreat into Forest of Stone.

Sturovenen was acknowledged as a deity by other deities and was long followed by many.

Out of kindness, he sent his dawn-feathered children to comfort parents who could not conceive and live alongside them; he sheltered outcasts and victims of violence.

Some time after Sturovenen's ascendance, the spirit guide known as the Wanderer told him a parable that predicted Sturovenen's inevitable demise, in which he would erupt into light as his father Eagle had. The Dragoneagle believed this tale and returned to Neverhome to prepare his following and offspring for his fate, with other spirit guides similarly retreating to their own covens, strongholds, and wildernesses.

After the death of Gorum, the Godsrain deposited a warshard on the Sarkoris Scar that threatened to reopen the Worldwound. Urlan of Neverhome witnessed Sturovenen fly to the shard, lift it from the ground, and pull it into the sky before it exploded, destroying it and killing the deity in an act of sacrifice.
