The newest god of the pantheon is unknown to all but the most attuned to the
Arcane. They are the reason why magic has begun to change, most would say for the worse. With devastating Arcane storms and the growing rate of Hexbloods being born. A prevailing belief is that some malevolent entity has cursed the world using the Hexbloods. The Hexblood's crime is to be born with magic that they don't know how to control and for that crime, they are feared and mistrusted. Thanks to the Tavori the populace believes that only their wizards can control magic. The rumors spread that only a proper wizard can tame magic with hard work and study. While the Hexbloods are dangerous and unpredictable that could bring disaster to people.
To the Mortal Empires, this god is still unknown, they dwell deep within the
Arcane testing the reach of their new domain. Within the Draz Tyran, they are aware of the new god and recognize the being that achieved apotheosis with the
Arcane. The Draz Tyran do not worship in the traditional sense but they still venerate the god. This works for the god as well as they need no prayer in the traditional sense. Every spell used is like a prayer; within Belthuran there is no shortage of those prayers. It will not take long or this god to grow powerful enough to rival the other gods. It is unknown if the Overplane can keep the god out of the material plane. Their dominion and its hold over the world but so far there has been no attempt to breach the barrier. Instead, they remain content reshaping and restructuring the
Arcane
Master of the Arcane Realm
As the god of magic Aren’Valesh as he was once known now has total dominion over the Arcane realm, and the Crossroads. The Crossroads now exist as a series of corridors that can connect anywhere within the planes. Traveling between worlds requires a great deal of skill and thought to attempt such a feat. Each god has their own heaven as the seat of their power, the arcane realm is his. The Draz Tyran believe the rise of the ‘Hexbloods’ and the phenomena of the Muldraz(Terrorgheist) are the direct actions of the Keeper. The kobolds see these changes in a positive light, the dragons keep their mastery over magic unchanged. It is the mortal empires that struggle and flail in the dark to understand magic. They barely had a grasp on it before, now the rules are changing and shifting in ways they can’t or won’t accept. No one knows if the Arcane storms that emerge are the Keeper’s will to punish those who transgress against him. The storms could also be because of the mirror-like relationship between arcane and material planes. The storms would then be physical manifestations of the changes in the arcane realm.
For now, though, the new god bides its time, plans in motion unknown to all but them.
Knower of All Things
In life, Aren’Valesh was the keeper of the Tyrannus memory stone. The stone contained the memory imprints of every Tyrannus of the Draz Tyran. With that, he held impressive knowledge from the start of the empire. Being a studied scholar in his own right he collected and archived many lost works from artists now dead and forgotten. To find his repository of knowledge would be to stumble on a time capsule from eras long forgotten. Wars would be fought over that knowledge should it ever come to light. The process he used to ascend bound him to the Arcane, a realm without time as it flows in the material realm where thoughts and ideas can manifest. His mind becomes aware of all that ever was and will be, or could be. That burden of knowledge was too much even for him and so he created an artifact to house that knowledge. His artifact has shown up many times in history long before the god’s creation of it. As the arcane realm has no flow of time it is hard to rule out the possibility.
