Zyren

Zyren was a minor god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with lies, deception, and deliberate falsehood. In pre-Fall belief, Zyren was not viewed as an evil or corrupting force, but as the embodiment of deception as a functional element of society. Lies were understood to exist regardless of moral condemnation, and Zyren represented their inevitability and utility rather than their justification.
  Orthodox doctrine acknowledged that deception played a role in diplomacy, warfare, negotiation, and governance. Zyren governed false statements, misinformation, and strategic misrepresentation, particularly when used to preserve stability or avert greater harm. His presence reflected the Orthodoxy’s pragmatic approach: rather than denying the existence of lies, the system sought to understand and regulate their use. A lie without purpose was disorder; a lie with structure was considered manageable.
  Zyren was closely associated with intelligence operations, negotiation tactics, and psychological manipulation. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that deception required discipline and restraint. Uncontrolled or habitual lying was viewed as corrosive, undermining trust and institutional cohesion. Zyren did not excuse dishonesty, but recognized it as a force that had to be accounted for within systems of power and survival.
  No knowledge of Zyren survives into the post-Fall era. There are no remaining references to his name, role, or conceptual framework in modern Vey’Zari culture. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown, and with its disappearance, all formal understanding of Zyren vanished. He is not remembered, condemned, or mythologized, existing only as a reconstructed element of pre-Fall belief.
