He appears in artwork and texts as an old gnarled gray-haired man with glasses perched on the end of a thin wiry nose. He is always depicted reading or writing. His features bear close resemblance to humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and gnomes alike as he has slightly pointed ears like an elf, but is short and stocky, like a dwarf. His feet are furry like a halfling's and his eyes are bright with the intensity of a gnome's.
Annulean is said to be the recorder of time since time began. He chronicled the many destructions and births of new worlds and universes. He was present when the planes were born for the other gods to inhabit. It is also said that he knows of the ancient gods that no longer look upon the world of Torin and that he had played a small part in their turning away from the world. All that is written by the clergy or followers of Annulean is the truth in one form or another, however "stretched" it may be.
Annulean's followers live for knowledge and are responsible for founding of the schools, universities, and learning institutions in many of major cities within the world. A common saying among his followers is, "A man's mind that lies fallow is open to a bleak and uneventful future."
Wizards and sages, in particular, worship Annulean for passing on the ability to learn and hold knowledge in the form of writing and the spoken word.
