Divine Biography
Magistus Veraael is the voice of reason carved in starlight, born from the First Song’s attempt to comprehend itself. Unlike the other Primordials, Magistus was not shaped from elemental force or divine emotion, but from pure will to understand — a being of order born to unravel and preserve the laws that governed creation.
He is said to have etched the first runes of magic onto the skin of the world, whispered the laws of gravity to the stars, and bound the early chaos with arcane formulae that even the gods struggle to read.
Though once closely allied with Elyonel and Tianara, Magistus chose a path of detachment, believing that judgment must be made without passion and that knowledge is sacred only if uncompromised.
When Virekos fell, it was Magistus who warned the others — not out of sentiment, but out of pattern. When Mordhekan rose, Magistus calculated the war’s probabilities — and still chose to fight, because even logic knows when it must draw its blade.
Nature and Appearance
Magistus Veraael manifests as a towering sage wrapped in star-etched robes, his silver hair flowing like nebulae, his eyes burning with galaxies long dead. His voice is measured, eternal, and echoing, like crystal resonating inside a great hall of silence.
He is often seen holding the Orb of Illumination in one hand — a golden sphere that pulses with the frequency of divine truth — and the Staff of Celestial Axis in the other, with which he aligns the fate of dimensions.
Floating symbols, charts of movement, constellations, and languages lost to time orbit his form like moons.
He is not cold, but inaccessible — like the night sky, beautiful and vast, but impossible to fully comprehend.
Cults and Worship
Temples to Magistus are often libraries, observatories, and rune-towers, carved with perfect geometries and protected by logic traps rather than weapons. His priests are known as Lexors — philosophers, mages, and seers who value truth above all else, even faith.
Worship is expressed through:
- Study of the arcane and natural world
- Preservation of lost knowledge
- Silent meditations under the stars
- And the sacred ritual of The Threefold Question, where truth, intent, and consequence must be balanced before knowledge is revealed.
Blasphemy to Magistus is not ignorance — it is the willing distortion of truth.
Legacy in Astravara
Magistus Veraael is the last god mortals call upon, and the first they should have listened to. He represents truth unbent, and in a world where gods lie, mortals betray, and memories twist, Magistus is the still point in a turning wheel.
Many say his silence during the Celestial War was not absence, but calculation — and that his eventual intervention saved reality from total unweaving.
It is believed that if Magistus Veraael ever weeps, it will be because truth itself has been lost — and with it, the stars will blink out one by one.
