Tharek

Tharek was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with collapse, systemic failure, and irreversible breakdown. In pre-Fall belief, Tharek did not represent destruction through violence or disaster, but the gradual failure of structures that could no longer sustain themselves. His domain governed the point at which institutions, systems, or civilizations ceased to function due to internal strain rather than external attack.
  Orthodox doctrine treated collapse as a process rather than an event. Tharek embodied accumulated neglect, mismanagement, and unresolved pressure. Failure under his domain was not sudden or dramatic; it was predictable in retrospect. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that collapse occurred when maintenance, adaptation, and restraint were abandoned. Tharek was not invoked to cause collapse, but acknowledged as present when collapse became unavoidable.
  Tharek was closely associated with administrative failure, infrastructural decay, and loss of institutional coherence. His influence was believed to expand when systems grew too rigid or too complex to correct themselves. Collapse was not framed as moral consequence, but as structural inevitability once corrective mechanisms failed. Tharek represented the end-state of misaligned systems rather than an active force.
  No knowledge of Tharek survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, role, or conceptual framework in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its disappearance, all structured understanding of Tharek vanished. He is not remembered, worshiped, or reinterpreted in any form.
