Orvak
Orvak was a minor god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with roads, transit, and movement between fixed locations. In pre-Fall belief, Orvak did not represent travel as exploration or freedom, but as regulated movement. His domain governed roads, pathways, transit schedules, and the maintenance of connective infrastructure.
Orthodox doctrine treated movement as an extension of governance. Roads were not neutral features of landscape, but controlled systems that enabled trade, administration, and response. Orvak embodied predictability in transit: knowing where movement was permitted, how long it would take, and under what conditions. Unregulated movement was viewed as destabilizing.
Orvak was closely associated with surveyors, transport authorities, and infrastructure planners rather than travelers themselves. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized maintenance and documentation of routes. A road allowed to decay was considered a failure of continuity. Orvak’s role reinforced the idea that connection required upkeep rather than spontaneity.
No knowledge of Orvak survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, symbols, or associated practices in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its disappearance, all formal understanding of Orvak vanished. He is not remembered, worshiped, or symbolically preserved.
