Emissary

Lord of Creation
Deity

Emissary, Lord of Creation. Emissary appears as tall, nondescript, and elven with glowing azure skin and is the patron of most users of arcane magic. Widely regarded as the lord of magic, worshipping Emissary is no different than casting a spell of arcane origin, and especially ritual casters might interweave their chanting with a short prayer. The holy symbol of Emissary is a balance, symbolic of the relation between the material and ethereal planes.

The followers of Emissary adhere to logic above all else. Many see them as cold and unfeeling in their actions, each step they take one measured objectively to an extreme degree. They often do not understand emotions, instead, stepping through the world in search of knowledge or greater power and understanding in the arts of the arcane. They value magic and knowledge.

Conversely, those with no magical ability pay Emissary no mind, and he pays those with no worth to him no mind either. The truly devout followers of Emissary are forces to be reckoned with, creating spectacles grander than anyone can imagine. A single and most-powerful follower of Emissary could, if they so willed, burn a forest to the ground in a fortnight.

To gain the favor of Emissary, a follower can consider the following:

  • Gain a new arcane skill, such as learning a spell.
  • Conjure great magical spectacles. Not for anyone else, but for the follower themself.
  • Stay on the path of learning and knowledge above the path of friendship or emotions. These are, to Emissary, only chemical reactions that get in the way of what is most important in this world.
  • Increase the breadth of knowledge in the world. However, to Emissary, whether said knowledge is hoarded or shared is immaterial.
