Davin Veyros
High Conjurant of Transformation
High Conjurant of Transformation Davin Veyros
"The Codex is not a tomb — it is a chrysalis."
Known as the most radical voice among the Triumvirate, Davin Veyros embodies the doctrine of Transformation — the belief that magic must evolve with the world or risk stagnation and obsolescence. He is both reviled and revered in equal measure, a figure of disruption wrapped in doctrine.
His votes have overturned centuries of tradition, his theories have opened new schools, and his presence is a provocation to the Arcanii’s more conservative wings.
Appearance
Davin is tall, flame-haired, and intense-eyed, with a sharp angular face that seems to flicker between amusement and challenge. He dresses in asymmetrical robes of twilight red and dark brass, the hems of which shift in pattern like slow-moving runes.
His Doctrine Flame pulses erratically, as though it reacts to thought or argument.
Personality
Veyros is a rhetorician by nature, drawn to contradiction and driven by what he calls "the arc of becoming." He does not debate to win — he debates to refine. He is fiercely loyal to truth but never dogma, and is known to rewrite his own published theses when countered successfully.
Impatient with delay, yet tolerant of dissent, Davin prefers movement over consensus, seeing friction as the heat through which doctrine is reborn.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Raised in a guildhall of rune-casters and inkwrights, Davin displayed innate magical sensitivity by age five, crafting sigils from water and light. He was sent to the provincial academy in Feldovar before being taken to Nova Roma by a passing Custodian who witnessed his spontaneous glyph resonance.
He was already writing theoretical spellwork by twelve and formally admitted into the Scholae Arcanii at fifteen.
Education
Davin studied under controversial reformist Magus Selenthos Kael and published his first treatise — Spells in Descent: A Theory of Arcane Drift — before completing his Initiate term. He served three years in the Outer Tribunal Courts, where he repeatedly challenged Lexmagi interpretations until one famously abdicated a ruling in his presence.
He completed his Oath of Containment surrounded by stormcallers, who invoked a live elemental debate during his recital.
Employment
Appointed Lexmagus at thirty, Davin quickly drew both criticism and acclaim for redefining the classification of hybrid spell forms. He was instrumental in legalizing Sigil-Weaving, a volatile but elegant school of recursive spellscript.
Though denounced by traditionalists, his doctrinal influence deepened with every Convocation until he was appointed to the Triumvirate in 310 AR — the youngest Conjurant in recorded history.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Legalized Sigil-Weaving under controlled doctrine.
- Rewrote containment protocols for unstable familiars.
- Authored the Declaratio Metamagica — redefining the very bounds of ritual definition.
- First Triumvir to open Convocation proceedings to non-Arcanii observers.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Davin believes that arcana is a living entity, and doctrine must reflect the society it serves. To him, transformation is not rebellion, but fulfillment — an evolution driven by context and necessity.
He argues that even the Codex Exilia is not holy, only sacred — and therefore must breathe, not calcify.
Representation & Legacy
To reformers, Davin is the promise of magical futurism. To his opponents, he is the unraveling of structure. Either way, he commands attention.
His debates with Meralis Arvoth have become legend — not for their hostility, but for their shared reverence of the Codex from opposite ends.
His legacy, still unfolding, will likely be written by those he once challenged.
"The Codex is not a tomb — it is a chrysalis."
"Tradition is the skin. Evolution is the breath."
"I do not wish to be right. I wish to be refined."
