Oravett
Oravett is the god of knowledge and literature, drawn to information of all sorts. He is the second patron of the Syoll School of Arts, with Foy being the first. Although he has no issue with stories and imagination, he does despise lies and deception and so is often the god Syollans swear on when they testify.
Although he is a god of knowledge, it does not necessarily have to be "real" information. Stories, therefore, have equal or even more power than simple facts, and also lie within Oravett’s realm. This is why he is also known as the god of literature and fiction. In certain instances, he is also mentioned in connection to songs, in particular long ballads, since they are also a form of storytelling.
The holy symbol of Oravett is a closed tome with an open eye on its cover. This motif is often seen referenced in encyclopediae or notebooks, and quite often a book’s first draft will be written in a notebook that has the illustration of an eye on its cover, since it is seen as good luck to do so.
Followers of Oravett believe in knowledge and furthering it, often leading them to become teachers or historians, in pursuit of collecting and spreading information. Some weigh the importance of stories more and spend their time writing tales or as travelling storytellers. All of them hate lies that mislead or misinform greatly, and some even actively pursue those who spread dangerous falsehoods.
