The Father of Healers, The Plaguebringer
Vrana, God of Plague, Crows, Torment and Medicine
Vrana, known as The Father of Healers and The Plaguebringer, was born to Gigaldin, the God of Chaos and Zeal. Gigaldin, in his desire to spread both pain and enlightenment, imbued Vrana with the dual nature of bringing both suffering and relief to the world. Vrana’s existence is a paradox, embodying the destructive force of plagues and the healing power of medicine, teaching mortals to appreciate life through the lens of both torment and recovery. Vrana governs the domains of plague, crows, torment, and medicine. He represents the delicate balance between life and death, sickness and health, suffering and relief. His followers understand that through pain comes growth and through sickness comes the opportunity for healing. Vrana is often depicted as a figure surrounded by crows, wearing robes that seem to shift between decay and restoration. Devotees of Vrana are often healers, doctors, plague doctors, and those who work at the intersection of life and death. They understand the importance of both causing and alleviating suffering and see their role as essential in maintaining the balance of life. They are taught to respect the power of disease while striving to cure it, and to see torment as a path to enlightenment and appreciation for life. Vrana is selective in his favor, bestowing blessings on those who demonstrate a profound understanding of his teachings. His favor might manifest as increased resilience to disease, enhanced healing abilities, or insights into the nature of life and death. Favored followers often become renowned healers or wise sages, respected for their knowledge and compassion.Divine Domains
