NethysÂ
Lost Marquent texts tell of a God-King whose mastery of magic allowed him to gain unparalleled power. Nethys appears as a frightening half elf and half drow emanating great energy. the elf side of him is youthful and dominating, almost glowing with power, while his drow half is charred and crackling with leaking magics. With these abilities he became a god by seeing all that transpired on all planes. However, this omnipresent knowledge also drove him irreparably mad. This dual-edged nature of magic is cherished by his followers and is epitomized in his apotheosis. Although his madness makes it hard to act on long-term plans Nethys is active and approachable by all deities for aid in their ventures. He remains neutral for the most part, unless his powers of omnipresent knowledge reveal he is being betrayed or threatened. He particularly allies with those requiring the use of magic, regardless of nefarious or benevolent cause. Nethys holds magic above all things. Those unable to do or use magic are held as lesser by the faith, denied the divine majesty of working spells. Creatures with magic abilities or properties are held as sacred to his faith. The clergy consider all books of magic to be holy texts to the All-Seeing Eye, and most of the scripts and writings associated with his faith include spellcraft, and dual methods of application and interpretation. Often in immediately contradicting paragraphs Most of his Followers fell to the alluring whispers of the Betrayer God known as the Spider Queen, and they allied with their venomous mistress against the Archeart and his elves in the Calamity. Nethys Expended most of his power fighting the Betrayer Gods falling in the realm of the Forgotten. Only remembered in myth but the last line of his followers
