==Servants & Exarchs== ===Savras=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = Savras |Symbol = [[File:Savras symbol.jpg|140px]] |Aliases = The All-Seeing, He of the Third Eye, Lord of Divination |Alignment = Lawful Neutral |Divine Rank = '''2E/3E/5E:''' Demigod <br>'''4E:''' Dead God |Pantheon = Faerûn |Portfolio = Divination, Fate |Domains = '''3E:''' Fate, Knowledge, Law, Spell<br>'''5E:''' Arcana, Knowledge |Home Plane = '''[[Great Wheel]]:''' ''The Eye'' ([[Arcadia]]), ''Dweomerheart'' (Arcadia then [[Elysium]])<br>'''[[World Tree]]:''' ''The Eye'' (Dweomerheart) |Worshippers = Diviners, Judges, Investigators, Monks, Sages |Favoured Weapon = ''Eye of Savras'' (Dagger) }} Before Savras lost his mageduel with Azuth, he was the original god of mages and wizards, with a primary focus on divination and farseeing. Following his replacement by Azuth, his essence was imprisoned within a scepter which Azuth had intended to keep as his badge of office. Unfortunately for Azuth, Savras still had some power left and managed to teleport the scepter into the Realms where it would be passed into mortal hands. One of his final and most significant followers was the sage '''Alaundo''' ''(that guy who gets referenced in [[Baldur's Gate]] a lot)'' to whom he gave a series of visions that would all come true. Eventually the sceptre passed into the hands of one of [[Mystra]]'s Chosen who kept it for a while but eventually decided to return it to Azuth for safekeeping when Savras started [[Grimdark|revealing secrets that mortals were not meant to know]]. After the [[Time of Troubles]], Azuth eventually decided to release Savras from his long imprisonment within the sceptre in exchange for a pledge of fealty, allowing Savras to return to some measure of divine status. As a separate deity in his own right, Savras carved his own niche as the patron of diviners. [[Rogal Dorn|He ALWAYS speaks the truth, even when it might make him enemies.]] Though if the truth ever becomes a matter of perspective, Savras goes even further and reveals all sides to the matter so there is no confusion. When Cyric killed Mystra to start the [[Spellplague|4e Blue Fire Happy Fun Times]] the realm of Dweamerheart collapsed '''and fucking killed Savras'''. Yes, you have read it right. It is described everywhere just as tasteless as it sounds. The worst part is that this event was foretold by a random diviner nobody cares about but not by the god of divination himself. But oh, well, no matter, when Mystra was resurrected 10 years later she must have brought her subordinate back (which she can do effortlessly) since we see him perfectly functional governing his church in the newest literary releases. {{clear}} ===Velsharoon=== {{Infobox Deity |Name = Velsharoon |Symbol = [[File:Velsharoon symbol.jpg|150px]] |Aliases = Mellifleur, Archmage of Necromancy, Lord of the Forsaken Crypt, the Vaunted |Alignment = Neutral Evil |Divine Rank = '''2E/3E:''' Demigod <br>'''4E/5E:''' Dead God |Pantheon = Faerûn |Portfolio = Liches, Necromancy, Undeath |Domains = '''3E:''' Death, Evil, Magic, Undeath <br> |Home Plane = '''[[Great Wheel]]:''' ''Death's Embrace'' ([[Gehenna]]), <br>'''[[World Tree]]:''' ''Death's Embrace'' (Dweomerheart) |Worshippers = Liches, Necromancers, those who seek undeath. |Favoured Weapon = ''Skull Staff of the Necromancer'' (Quarterstaff) }} Essentially a poor-man's [[Vecna]], Velsharoon was a mortal ''(well... undead)'' necromancer and former Red Wizard of [[Thay]] who was sponsored to godhood by [[Talos]]. It is suspected that [[Ao]] allowed the apotheosis due to [[Kelemvor]]'s dislike of the undead, so required a new god to rebalance the pantheon. The god of storms and destruction did not actually desire a servant; although Velsharoon served his patron for two years, it became clear that his patron was fattening him up to be consumed. Velsharoon promptly switched allegiances to Azuth, and in so doing earned him the de-facto protection of Mystra which managed to keep the wrath of Talos at bay. The demigod lich uses his masters as a shield to protect him from the fallout of his dickishness and Azuth is generally unhappy with the arrangement, but cannot do anything about it since Velsharoon genuinely does fulfill his role as the patron of Necromanctic magic. However, the god of the undead has secretly made a new pact with Talos to unleash more undead creations upon the world and also has since begun flirting with the dark forces of [[Shar]]. None of his plots came to fruition, however, as he was killed during the [[4e|Spellplague]]. And unlike some [[Mystra|other deities]], he died a true death. Supposedly his corpse ended up in the hands of [[Mystra#Chosen of Mystra|the Simbul]]. <gallery> File:Velsharoon p111.jpg </gallery> {{clear}} {{D&D5e-FR-Deities}}
