Hanares

Hanares is a fictional creature appearing in the world-building of the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. These entities are described as celestial beings that embody the concept of cosmic order and balance. They are often depicted as benevolent guardians, tasked with maintaining the harmony of the multiverse. Physically, hanares are said to be radiant and ethereal, possessing forms that are difficult to fully comprehend, often manifesting as shifting lights, complex geometric patterns, or humanoid figures made of starlight.

Their primary role is to oppose forces that seek to disrupt the natural order, such as chaotic entities, destructive magic, or those who manipulate fate for selfish gain. Hanares are not typically warriors in the conventional sense, but rather exert their influence through subtle manipulation of cosmic energies, guidance of mortal agents, or by reinforcing the natural laws of existence. They are rarely seen directly by mortals, and their interventions are often perceived as fortunate coincidences or shifts in destiny.

The exact nature and origins of hanares are often subject to interpretation within the lore, with different cultures and planes of existence perceiving them differently. They are generally considered to be among the most powerful and ancient beings in the Pathfinder cosmology, operating on a scale far beyond mortal comprehension. Their motivations are inscrutable, driven by a profound understanding of universal equilibrium that transcends mortal concerns of good and evil.
