Knowledge, Magic, Power, and Wisdom
Salu Serai is the considered the God of Gods by many across the realms. He has a long and established history of being the most powerful and influential god to have ever existed. He is typically neutral in nature and has little time or patience to wage war against others. As such his devoted followers will tend to follow in his footsteps and avoid meaningless battle unless they believe it is necessary. He believes in using the information available and experiences gained improving any odds one might encounter. He is easily considered the most knowledgeable being in existence, though that does not mean he knows everything.
"Waste the threat, not the time." "Experience lasts a lifetime." "Knowledge is power." "May he engage your story."
Common Phrases used by Followers of Salu Serai
Most others would dare not invoke the wrath of Salu Serai. To do so, would be a death wish. Though, there are some that believe that as long as his reign continues, their own plans are being affected. Typical opposition and threats that he or his followers experience, come in the form of raids against his holy sites. These raids occur mainly in hopes of obtaining information and knowledge that could help advance some personal objective.
With little opposition, he focuses his time on finding a way to reconnect the lost realm of Artesia to Oleun. With all of his power, even he has been unable to traverse back to Artesia. Beyond that, he has several Goals that are hidden to all others.
Many pay praise and respect to Salu Serai. Scholars praise him in hopes of achieving greater levels of enlightenment, while researchers hope to gain incredible knowledge. Bards and Adventurers worship him, hoping that they will be blessed with fantastic journeys and tales of epic proportions. Leaders, warriors, and mages hope to gain influence and untold power.
The Archivist Guild of Oleun are a group of followers that are directly tasked by Salu himself. He has tasked them with venturing out across the realms and bringing back any knowledge or information so that he may add it to his Archives. His Archivists are powerful and have access to knowledge that most others could only dream of. The Archivist ranks consist of many layers but most members are skilled in several martial arts styles and typically have the ability to intermingle spell casting with their ranged and melee combat techniques.
All Hail the God of Gods. Salu Serai! Salu Serai! The Lord of the Archives. May he engage our story!
Chant of the Archivist Guild
Temples to Salu Serai can be found all over the realms and typically take the form of libraries and universities. For Salu Serai, rarely does a temple serve as only a place of worship.
The largest Archives throughout the realms are typically considered Holy Sites to Salu Serai, but with his personal Archive being his most sacred of sites.
While any book personally written by Salu Serai is considered a Minor Artifact, he has but 3 Major Artifacts known as the Archivist Trilogy. It is said that these 3 books were imbued with his knowledge of the realms and his power to affect them.
Archivist: Chronologies These books are said to contain all of the known history of the cosmos. They travel across the realm under guise of other books in order to listen, cross-check with each other, and record any new information they come across. There is no recording of how many of these exist.
Archivist: Elements This is said to contain the recipes needed to recreate any simple or complex substance or crature. Alchemists across the world consider this book the most important book in existence.
Archivist: Worlds This book is sought after by many powerful beings because of the inherent dangers associated with it. This book contains the true name of nearly every being in the cosmos. It is said that, those trusted by Salu Serai, have had their true names revoked from the book.
