Nenzus (/Nehn-zis/)

"He Who Writ the Laws Arcane"

The Arcane Architect

Nenzus is the deity of knowledge and discovery. He is responsible for revealing the machinations of the planes and magic to the world, and is thus the patron of scholars and wizards alike. Nenzus' primary symbol is an obsidian locus stone, typically shaped like a diamond with a flattened top, though he is also said to communicate through ravens.
Followers of Nenzus are his seekers. Universities are typically dedicated to him and abide by his philosophy, and they are thus often considered to be his holiest sites. Seekers seek knowledge about the world, whether it be scientific, magical, or social.
Nenzus' primary text is the Rubiora, which is where the inner workings of the planes and arcana are revealed. He is the father of El'yr through an affair with Maer. Nenzus is a rival of Fae'len, as he views her obsession over creativity and equality as irrelevant, and of Orovas for his hoarding of wisdom. He is a friend to Mahth to whom he granted the knowledge of the runewords.
