Nyxel

Nyxel was a major goddess in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with darkness, concealment, and the absence of visibility. In pre-Fall belief, Nyxel did not represent evil, fear, or corruption. Darkness under her domain was understood as a neutral condition in which observation ceased and exposure ended. Her role governed spaces where sight failed—night, enclosed structures, covered records, and all conditions where concealment was inherent rather than chosen.
  Orthodox doctrine treated darkness as a functional state rather than a moral one. Nyxel represented the limits of perception and the necessity of concealment in complex systems. Not everything could or should remain visible at all times, and darkness was understood as essential for rest, security, and containment. Her influence reinforced the idea that visibility carried risk, and that exposure without purpose destabilized order.
  Nyxel was closely associated with secure facilities, controlled access, and periods of inactivity. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that systems required downtime and shielding from constant scrutiny. Continuous exposure was considered corrosive to both individuals and institutions. Nyxel’s role supported balance by allowing withdrawal, concealment, and separation from constant engagement.
  No knowledge of Nyxel survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to her name, symbols, or conceptual framework in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Nyxel vanished. She is not remembered, worshiped, or reinterpreted in any form.
