Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

He always has a staff of pale wood with a blue gem embedded in the top but doesn't necessarily display his symbol.

Apparel & Accessories

He favours the colour blue and patterns in his clothing and often appears rather scholarly amongst human populaces.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Even compared to other gods little is known of the Glowing Scribe due to his reticent nature. It is inferred from some tales that he dislikes combat and prefers to take more supportive roles whenever possible, but was also personally responsible for the death of many arcane ascenders before their withdrawal from mortal happenings. He is said to have taken personal affront to their actions and lack of morals and considered them his responsibility.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The Glowing Scribe has been known to occasionally assist in the creation of new spells by devout followers of his, or even just particularly interesting and powerful arcane practitioners. He has also been cited as a heavy influence in the godhunts, taking personal responsibility for much of their actions, and as a founder of the magical council of the Valadrin in Candala.

Remnants

He was responsible for the creation of the Bone of the Cabal after his finger was sliced off in the initial assault on the peaceful lands of the Celestial Plane. Though still young at the time, by godly standards, he worked on his own to turn the bone that remained into a powerful artefact, which he lost at some point during The Battle of Black Glass, though some believe he purposefully gave it away to someone he deemed worthy. The more it is used and awakened, the larger and more intricate it grows, and it helps the user with the power and accuracy of their spells as well as letting them cast some without using their own finite wells of power.

Personality Characteristics

Virtues & Personality perks

Hardworking, moralistic, objective

Vices & Personality flaws

Removed, somewhat arrogant and overassured in his own intelligence, no problem with taunting others with it either

Personality Quirks

The Glowing Scribe can often be easily distracted from his goals by the offering of a new and interesting piece of information. He also rather enjoys games, and enjoys beating people at them even more.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Not a very social person, he tends to stick to himself. However, he counts the Pioneer as a good friend and they spend time together teasing out the secrets of the world and the possibilities of the future. As a third generation god, he is also rather open to worshipers and pays closer attention to them than older gods often do.

Family Ties

The littlest brother of the Traveller and the Changebringer and the child of the True Guard and Light Daughter. He isn't particularly social and tends to keep to himself, but he frequently plays games against the Changebringer and touches base with the rest of his family members.
