Who is Phynaster?

​

   When the Aldmer chose to worship their greater ancestors, the Aedra, over their past kin, many of the greater spirits became worshipped as hero-gods. Phynaster was a Merethic Aldmeri priest of Auri-El who was elevated to divinity by that deity, and while he is not part of the main Aldmeri Pantheon, his worship is maintained through significant cults throughout the Summerset Isles.

​

   He is renowned for creating the famed Ring of Phynaster and for teaching the Altmer to extend their lifespan by a century, simply by reducing the length of their gait; he represents the virtue of patience and the achievement of victory by taking the slower but surer path, ideals that Altmer value very highly.
