According to the lore, the Patrons are elder gods who petition players to participate in battles, called '''[[The Ritual|Rituals]]'''. Each Patron must form a covenant with 6 heroes in hopes of being summoned to walk amongst them.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> In order for the Ritual to be completed, the enemy Patron must be destroyed.
 
The Patrons have telepathic powers and can read the thoughts and desires of the heroes (with the exception of [[Warden]]), as well as communicate with them during the Ritual.
 
This is the first time in history that humanity has been able to make contact with the Patrons. Such Rituals used to be impossible, as well as forbidden, before the [[Maelstrom]]. The orders of the Amber Hand and the Sapphire Flame were supposed to safeguard humanity from the Patrons, but recently have changed their objectives.
 
There are other Patrons besides the Amber Hand and the Sapphire Flame, but they haven't yet made contact with humanity.[[File:Patron_VisualNovel_Art.png|thumb|A Patron looming over humans|none]]
