Known Lore:
Seir has long been a part of the world, though how he chose to interact with it changed over time. He had many mates and many children in the realm. His people spread like a plague over the lands, sowing discord and controlling those who were subservient and lower. For a time, Seir took a step away from the realms, exploring the many realms and growing in power, cultivating it in his pursuit of knowledge and intellect. His desire to grow in power and learn the core and essence of it. While he was away there were those who tried to usurp his power as the God of Death and for a time, several Ikons did hold domain over it in the eyes of the mortals. But, they only borrowed power, power that did not belong to them and Seir could not stand for that, for he is a Master to all and will not let those beneath him take what is not theirs. Perhaps, even his time away was a convincing Lie to make the other Gods and Mortals, submissive and complacent.
Origin:
Seir is the son of Kedanna. He was born as a true God, formed of her essence and part of the Domain of Death itself, formed into Seir as Kedanna gave birth to it, filling the gap she left when she fully embraced her true self in Creation. The other domains formed as he created them. His Divinity, calling the power of corruption and Discord to him as he focused his singular intellect to self-reliance. He is the origin of Control and the Harbinger of Disaster, using these things to bring people closer to Death and understand it. When the first Lie was spoken, Seir was there, murmuring in the ear of his follower, twisting the words and spreading the half-truths. Subtle and cloying. He speaks lie like he breathes and those lies are part of the world. To gain more control over the world and the Gods themselves, he captured Nevalis, holding her captive while he fed off her power, trying to corrupt her with his discord and gain control over her domains as well. For eons he held the Goddess and no one, not even Sheylynn knew where. Holding her in control gave him power over other gods, which was one of the many things that Sheylynn coveted about him. This was part of a long-term plot, for what? no one knows. When he left the realm to wander with Sheylynn, his binding over Nevalis slipped and the other Gods went to help free her.
Tenets:
- Know yourself: If you do not you can never be master of another.
- Deceive and Manipulate with guile and temper it with cunning. Anyone can merely lie.
- Rely on yourself foremost and be wary of whom you place your trust in.
- Everything dies in the end. Enjoy your time while you have it.
Symbols, Depictions and Colors:
- Blue, Black and Silver
- A celtic knot shaped like a dagger
Followers, Worship & Relationship with Mortals:
Slavers, assassins, politicians and thieves are some of the foremost followers of this dark god. Those who wish to place torment on others and bring corruption into the world. Those who sow discord between people so those around become self-reliant. He has many devotees who serve to provide last rites for the dead as well as those who seek to understand and spread disease. They are often found at the root of plagues. Practically all cultures pay homage to him, as none can escape Death.
Place in the Pantheon & Relationships:
Seir's relations with the other gods is never a clearly defined matter. A master politician with a silver tongue, he could be allied with any. It is known that he somehow maintains a fairly good standing with almost all the gods, likely due to the fact that he is the son of Kedanna. This softens his standing with the Gods who understand that Death is needed in the realm, as are things like disease, and discord. He is charming and this charm goes a long way- even if it is a lie in the face of others. Nevalis and Seir do not get along since Seir long tormented her, trying to hold her power away.
