Zareth
Zareth was a minor god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with night, transition, and periods of reduced activity. In pre-Fall belief, Zareth did not represent darkness in a symbolic or moral sense, but the interval when systems slowed, visibility diminished, and activity shifted from operation to maintenance.
Orthodox doctrine treated night as a functional phase rather than a state to be feared. Zareth governed transitions between cycles: work and rest, action and pause, visibility and concealment. Night was understood as necessary for recovery and recalibration. Continuous operation without pause was considered destabilizing.
Zareth was closely associated with scheduling, shift transitions, and security procedures. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that reduced activity required different rules, not absence of order. Nighttime operations were expected to be deliberate and limited. Zareth’s influence reinforced discipline during low-visibility conditions rather than encouraging disorder.
No knowledge of Zareth survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, role, or conceptual presence in modern Vey’Zari society. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Zareth vanished. He is not remembered or symbolically preserved.
