The Whispered God

Assassins, Spies, Nobles seeking an edge, Those who create large intricate conspiracies, Scholars seeking banned forms of knowledge, magic users who push the boundaries of the Art, those who would seek a secret or want knowledge that is kept away from others, Forbidden or banned magic users. These are only a few examples of the typical worshipers of The God of Conspirances.

The Whispered God is often a subject of contention surrounding scholars of all walks of life. Many argue against the existence of such a being while others insist the necessity of such a deity. For the Whispered God, this is just fine. As a god of secrets many unsavory individuals turn to worship in the hopes that they will be blessed with such knowledge. Those who would burn books, ban knowledge and otherwise hide things can gain his displeasure in the form of fires that will not light, pages being blown by the wind or surviving the flame, loose lips, misplaced letters and memos and other inconveniences that seem small but add up to a larger conspiracy. As a god of intricacies and conspiracies Seeker delights in elaborate, detailed, subtle and involved plots and schemes. From teenagers keeping secret crushes to those who would rule nations from the shadows and influence current events, The Whispered God takes great pleasure in weaving webs that add to a greater and greater scheme. Lastly, as the Heretic, he takes the form of one burned at the stake. A patron of magic users who would be forced into hiding, shamed or murdered for their work. To those who disagree with his teachings, he is a tempter, teaching dark magics to innocents. To those who wish to expand their knowledge, learn from the past, or escape the prejudices of those who do not understand he is a beacon in the dark, lighting their path, guarding it. Often sending shadowy creatures with glowing eyes that blend into the night to protect such heretics.

Gathering in tight knit “cells” those who worship the Sight Unseen might be mistaken (or not so mistaken) for dark cultists up to nefarious deeds. The close network of compartmentalized information resembles a spymasters network more than an organized religion. But such steps are often necessary when protecting that which others would eagerly see destroyed. Worshipers gather anonymously in dusty basements, hidden passageways, private clubs and other out of the way areas to disseminate what they have learned. A favored tactic is to hide in plain sight, using subtle manipulation, isolation and clever schemes to retain positions while appearing as innocuous as possible.
