Azeron

Azeron, the Forgotten Sovereign, is the enigmatic god of lost civilizations, abandoned sanctuaries, and secrets buried beneath the sands of time. Once worshiped across countless now-fallen empires, Azeron persists as a relic of memory, a patron to those who seek wisdom in the ruins of what once was.

Cloaked in age-worn robes and crowned with a tarnished circlet, Azeron walks through forgotten places, observing without judgment. He is a god of absence, yet never truly absent—his presence lingers in collapsed temples, crumbling scrolls, and half-buried monuments. He watches over those who uncover the past not to reclaim it, but to understand it.

Unlike other deities who shun decay, Azeron embraces it as the natural echo of greatness. To him, every broken column and faded tapestry tells a story worth preserving. His domain, known as the Vault of Echoes, is a vast and crumbling archive of forsaken wonders—a realm where forgotten languages still speak themselves aloud and lost inventions hum faintly with residual power.

Azeron’s relationship with Lyscarra, the Mistress of Despair and Numbness, is complex. While both embody aspects of abandonment, they represent opposing ideals. Where Lyscarra sees emptiness as the end of meaning, Azeron views it as the threshold to discovery. Their divine philosophies have clashed throughout history, though open conflict is rare; instead, their influence waxes and wanes over civilizations like dueling undercurrents.

His followers include archaeologists, chroniclers, and relic-hunters—those who believe that the ruins of the past can teach the present. Devotion often takes the form of preservation: copying old texts, cataloging relics, and mapping forgotten cities. Clerics of Azeron are known to establish “memory vaults” beneath the surface of living cities, ensuring that if collapse comes again, the lessons of history will not be lost.

Miracles associated with Azeron often occur in ancient places: inscriptions glowing anew, long-dead mechanisms sparking to life, or lost knowledge revealed to those who show reverence rather than greed. It is said that Azeron sometimes walks among ruins himself, leaving behind subtle traces—like a cleaned stair or a relit torch—that only the observant notice.
