Weapon: Halberd 'Innovation'
It is said that the Architect's realm is a place where every invention that could ever come to exist are tested and weapons of war are frequently used in mock battles to test their effectiveness. The ability for It to create destruction has earned him the fondness of The Sunderer in a love-hate relationship as she seeks to destroy all that is created, and he creates, the fact his creations can destroy is secondary to It. The Architect has nothing but contempt for The Sunderer. Rumor has it that It forbids the world from learning only one knowledge so far as it would lead the world into a place that would only bring power to Its hated rival. Despite the prominence of this god and the creations the god is credited for the god has never been seen in a humanoid form. The Architect prefers to remain in a formless state or when appearing to someone in their dreams they will come upon a drafting table and as they work, they are being guided by The Architect, nudged in just the right direction to a new creation.
