Lesser Undying Ones
In addition to the Undying ones discussed above, there have been many others who are either less powerful, unconfirmed or pose less of a threat. These are known as the Lesser Undying Ones. Do not be mistaken. While they may seem less powerful, they still pose a danger to the unprepared and, as such, are not to be underestimated.

The Heretic
The power of the gods can be a great boon to the pious, but generally comes with the requirement of worshipping the deity. The Heretic, in contrast, has through some profane method, found a way of using the power of the Gods without actually following them. How or when he figured out how to do this is unknown, as his existence has only recently been revealed, during a raid by a group of monsters on a city within the country of Vederic, one of the priests of the local cathedral unexpectedly began unleashing powerful hieromancy spells against a monster that tried to assault him, the spells all seemed to be coming from multiple different deities many of whom disliked each other and refused to grant spells to the followers of the other.
This contradiction of power was not unwelcome by the populace as it helped drive off the raid, but it did raise the concern of the bishop of the city, who called in some inquisitors to investigate. They later discovered that the priest had seemingly been ordained almost a hundred years ago despite appearing only 30. This raised further questions and they attempted to interrogate him, only for him to vanish from the city taking several holy scriptures with him. This led to a larger investigation where it was discovered that he had seemingly been jumping between the religions of multiple deities for centuries, learning whatever he can and then stealing scriptures and artefacts before moving on to another. His origins and motives are unknown as he has given multiple conflicting accounts when asked in his various disguises, leading to much speculation about who he really is and what he wants. In addition to all of this, he is also seemingly the author of multiple texts considered heresy by the Order. This combination of crimes led to the inquisition deciding to make him one of their top priorities.
notable traits: able to use the hieromancy of multiple deities without needing to actually follow them, the ability to blend in with any group he joins as if he had always been there, high skill in many forms of martial arts likely from his time in the cults of various combat related gods.
