Hirk the Great is a Vy'keen deity.
Summary[ | ]
Hirk the Great, or Hirk as it is often known, plays the dual role of Warrior/Creator god for the Vy'keen.
Hirk is referenced by many of the plaques that dot the landscape where the Vy'keen are found. They help uncover the history of this warrior race.
"It came to pass that the Great Monolith awoke, It heard the challenge of Hirk. Five times Hirk called upon it and was met by silence. On the sixth cry it awoke." --Memories of Nosurifro (Vy'keen Plaque)
Hirk is mentioned many times in various Vy'keen fables and tales. There are also periodic mentions of a prophecy pertaining to the arrival of the Travellers, which may be a reference to the players. The Vy'keen are obligated to help the Travellers due to the teachings of Hirk.
Sentinel hatred[ | ]
The great leader speaks of the Vy'keen's hatred toward the sentinels and how their ultimate demise will benefit exploration and overall galaxy life. Other such phrases from the plaques give hints to the oppressive nature of the Atlas and its sentinels.
"When Hirk asked of the Sentinels, the Great Monolith said nothing. Hirk was troubled by its silence." --Vy'keen Plaque
This silence marks the ruling/governing of the Atlas over the galaxy all the more apparent.
