Known Lore:
Time has changed the face of Tirradyn, and with it, the views of its inhabitants. Trellan, not being above adapting to the needs of the new world, created Vadoma to act as an avatar of balance in a land that sorely lacks a true center. With factions of both good and evil acting in the world, the need for a central force became obvious to him, and with the disappearance of the Red Tower, he used his considerable power to construct a temple and draw up the tenets and laws that will help the followers of Vadoma work for balance in the land. Trellan has long been involved in the world, and has shown his wisdom on the mortals when he sees a reason to.
Origin:
Born from the void that existed before creation, Trellan represents the natural duality of existence- the interplay chaos and order, good and evil. He and Kedanna are of equal importance in the creation of the world, Trellan giving substance to Kedanna's chaotic thoughts and mind. He sat in the void where Kedanna found herself upon the destruction of her old realm. As she screamed out her power, Trellan grabbed hold of the chaos infused with her love and rage and life and death and wove it into order, helping her to create the realm where Tirradyn now sits. Because he wove the realm, his essence is woven into the fabric of fate itself, emerging from the collective subconscious of the universe. Trellan the Shadowlord watches and understands the divine order and seeks to always keep it in balance with his Wisdom.
Tenets:
- Seek wisdom in stillness and silence.
- Trust the intuition of your inner voice and allow it to guide you to your fate.
- Accept the flow of time and fate, this is the balance and the order of things.
- Respect truth, introspection and order
Symbols, Depictions and Colors:
- Black scales
- An eye above four crescent moons
- Anything that symbolizes balance
- Black and Grey
Followers, Worship & Relationship with Mortals:
Trellan's followers are from all walks of life. Good and evil people, and all ranges in between are accepted within its ranks, as all are a part of universal balance, however an acute recognition of the need for balance is required. Shadows are seen as the epitome of balance, since they are an exact match to their counterpart in most instances.
Place in the Pantheon & Relationships:
Trellen is neutral and respected by the whole of the pantheon- save Ravidya. The pair are at odds- one pushing progress and the other allowing things to remain the same. Trellan locked Ravidya away for eons and while she is now free, the pair do their best to not interact. The rest of the gods respect and admire Trellan for his neutrality and he, for the most part, lets them.
