Vaelos
Vaelos was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with craft, construction, and the deliberate act of making. In pre-Fall belief, Vaelos did not represent creativity or inspiration, but execution. His domain governed the transformation of raw material into functional structure, emphasizing precision, method, and reliability. Making was treated as a disciplined process rather than an artistic one, and Vaelos embodied the expectation that creation serve purpose.
Orthodox doctrine framed craft as a foundational pillar of civilization. Buildings, tools, machines, and infrastructure were believed to exist properly only when constructed according to established standards. Vaelos represented adherence to method, tolerances, and proven techniques. Innovation was permitted, but only when grounded in tested knowledge. Failure in construction was considered negligence, not misfortune, and fell outside acceptable order.
Vaelos was closely associated with builders, engineers, architects, and technicians. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized apprenticeship, documentation, and procedural consistency. Work completed without plans or records was considered incomplete, regardless of outcome. Vaelos’s influence reinforced institutional continuity, ensuring that knowledge of making could be transmitted reliably across generations.
No knowledge of Vaelos survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, symbols, doctrines, or professional associations in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Vaelos vanished. He is not remembered, worshiped, or reinterpreted in any form.
