Hendreik the Free was the great unconquered rebel who resisted the Gbaji Empire and gave men the hope of liberty. He helped Harmast, supported Arkat, made Owenrath High King of the Heortlings and founded the Larnsti Brotherhood. He recieves sacrifice today on the Gods Day of Movement Week in Season. <Storm Tribe p. 236>
In the wake of the Evil Year, many Garanvuli (and other Heortlings) men left their steads and communities and sought freedom as rebels in the Wilds of Steal Forest (the forest which once covered most of the Heortland Plateau). The rebels renounced stead and village, old ties and bonds. Their way was hard - constantly on the move, with no past and no future, and filled with constant danger and violence.
Hendreik founded the magical Larnsti Brotherhood by gathering residents of the many holy places in the region (NB: Seriasdova?, Stormwalk,...). He taught the Larnsti the secrets of Larnste, the god of Change - he showed them how to adapt to instability and how to embrace change to protect their freedom.
Hendreik and his followers were granted the old Garanvuli lands and the Heortland Wilds by the Only Old One. Eventually these bandits, outlaws and rebels became the Hendreiki tribe. The Freedom of the Hendreiki was protected by the Larnsti Brotherhood. The Hendreiki kings once lived at Whitewall, but moved away because of its inaccessibility.
Hendreik is worshipped as a sub-cult of Orlanth Adventurous, as an independent hero-cult and as the guardian of the Larnsti warband?.
