Lucan
The Chronicler · Sign of the Hoarbear
“It seemed good to me also, having traced all things from the first snowfall, to write unto thee an orderly account.” — Glacial of Lucan 1:3
Lucan is the chronicler-evangelist of the apostolic age, author of the Glacial of Lucan and of the Acts of the Frostwalkers — the two-part history of Connor and his church. Tradition remembers him as a physician of the warm-born, a companion of Vael on the journeys recorded in the second half of his work. (Some traditions distinguish him from the disciple-scribe who set down Corin’s preaching; others conflate the two.)
The Gospel of Mercy
The Glacial of Lucan is the gentlest of the four, full of the poor, the warm-born, and the lost made cold again — the gospel of the Prodigal in the South and of Wenna’s songs. Its sign among the Four Living Frosts is the Hoarbear — sacrificial mercy.
Veneration
Patron of physicians, historians, artists, and the warm-born who turn to the Cold. Feast kept with the writing of icons.
