The human gatherer who mounts a root-braided hillock and looks out to the horizon in wonder, who descries flecks of granite stirring on the mountain face, and who with ancestral dread ponders what toll the rocks themselves are animated to collect, he can't know the miracles of chemistry that sophists inscribed in data disks at the Long Before. Those miracles are to him the ciphers of god-things.

'''Bethsaida''' is a [[narrative entity]] referred to as a “hoary demon”.<ref>This is mentioned in the description of glow-wight cultists of Bethsaida.</ref> {{Favilink | Bethesda Susa}} is said to be their lair.<ref>The look description of {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}. {{Favilink | Otho}} also [[Otho/Conversations#During_Decode_the_Signal|mentions this in passing.]]</ref> They are venerated by the {{Favilink | glow-wight cultist of Bethsaida | Glow-wight cultists of Bethsaida}}, who are described as "chant[ing] the hymn" of Bethsaida.
{{Name}} is one of the [[Girsh Nephilim]], who lives below {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}. They are worshipped by the {{favilink|gyre wight of Bethsaida|gyre wights of Bethsaida}}.


Nothing else is directly known about Bethsaida.
Bethsaida's cradle can be found at around strata 30 below Bethesda Susa, by following the pits starting in the [[Bethesda Susa#Temple of the Rock|Temple of the Rock]].


== Opinion ==
== Effect ==
After losing over half of its health, {{name}} will split into two. These Bethsaidas both will have a maximum HP of 4000, but will remain at however much health Girsh Bethsaida had before dividing into two (somewhere below 2000 HP). Only one of these Bethsaidas will drop the {{favilink|Circle of light in the chord of Bethsaida}} on death.


{{Opinion}}
== This creature burns bright in the chord of {{name}} ==
Killing Girsh Bethsaida or pacifying them via the [[water ritual]] will cause them to drop the {{favilink|Circle of light in the chord of Bethsaida}}, which grants +15% hitpoints whilst equipped. Killing them will also give all remaining Girsh +50% [[Hitpoints_(HP)|hitpoints]]; this does not happen when pacifying them.


* Glow-wights are said to worship the “Girsh Nephilim” as gods.<ref>{{Favilink | Elder Irudad}} states this.</ref> This suggests that Bethsaida is one of these Girsh Nephilim, as is [[Agolgut]], and that the glow-wight cultists worship Bethsaida as a god (rather than some lesser object of veneration).
== Trivia ==
* Prior to the 7th Plague update (game version 2.0.206.26), Bethsaida's worshippers were known as the {{favilink|glow-wight cultist of Bethsaida|Glow-wight cultists of Bethsaida}}. Their description said that they "chant[ed] the hymn of the hoary demon Bethsaida".
