Varun

Varun was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with seas, waterways, and long-distance exchange. In pre-Fall belief, Varun did not represent the ocean as a symbol of mystery or danger, but as a functional medium for movement, trade, and connection. His domain governed navigation, shipping routes, ports, and the reliability of maritime systems.
  Orthodox doctrine treated water travel as a civil and economic necessity rather than an adventure. Varun embodied the idea that exchange depended on stable routes and predictable conditions. Loss at sea was not viewed as fate or sacrifice, but as logistical failure. Varun’s authority reinforced planning, charting, and maintenance rather than superstition. Maritime activity without preparation was considered reckless.
  Varun was closely associated with merchants, port authorities, and trade administrators rather than sailors alone. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized documentation, scheduling, and standardized practice in maritime exchange. Trade routes were treated as extensions of governance, and Varun’s influence was believed to ensure continuity between distant regions. His role reinforced the Orthodoxy’s emphasis on infrastructure over individual risk.
  No knowledge of Varun survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, symbols, or associated practices in modern Vey’Zari culture. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Varun disappeared. He is not remembered or adapted into later belief systems.
