Barois dhal Baroise Smiailgesinneadha, b 2478, [[Bhiaruanaive]], [[Selthir]], [[Archduchy of Asbardy]]; d 2551; [[Tintamburel]], [[Heart-of-Asbardy]], [[Archduchy of Asbardy]]. died ~73. Asbardian polytheologian who theorized that the gods are anthropomorphic idealizations of energetic states of consciousness, Barois dhal Baroise wrote three texts which explained his controversial beliefs, [[Spiritual Geometry]] 2509, [[Pantheon of the Human Heart]] 2517, and [[Flute-Hearer of the Gods]] 2533. Smialgesinneadha was a long-time lecturer at the [[Archguild School of Bryndyd]] and also visiting lecturer at the [[Heliotheological School of Amyrn]].  Raised in the [[Arathracian Church]], he was a deeply religious man and believed that understanding the nature of spirituality would help reconcile the various cults and religions of [[Asdar]].  He wrote [[Flute-Hearer of the Gods]] later in his life as a novelization to help demonstrate the nature of the spiritual manifestation of the divine in the life of Saint [[Ithraig of Bantaffer]].  The novel depicts the spiritual manifestations of [[Skiánthra]], [[Aireánnau Mother of the Folk]], and the god [[Arathrax]], among others to the Saint. Of his four major books, it is the only one that was not written in [[Classical Yophenthean]], but in [[Asbardian Language|Asbardian]].

Smiailgesinneadha wanted to be an [[Arathracian Knight]] in his early twenties, but his father, an Arathracian Priest, wanted him to follow in his footsteps.  Eventually, he studied at the [[Arathracian Gymnasium of St. Agostof (Bryndyd)]] and decided to pursue theology as a professor rather than a priest. His first work, [[Devotion like Ithraig]], 2502, about the life of Saint Ithraig of Bantaffer, was acclaimed by lay Arathracians and the [[Archguild School of Bryndyd]] as a great work.  However the then Archpatriarch of Bryndyd said that his work, Flute-hearer of the Gods, was problematic and could be confusing to a reader who was "not theologically mature."
