Everwatcher
The Everwatcher is a strange deity who seeks the accumulation of knowledge above all things. The Everwatcher is most worshiped among the High Elves who consider him to be the greatest of the deities. Those who channel the Everwatcher are granted enhanced comprehension of the world and are able to tap into lost and forgotten knowledge.
The Everwatcher is depicted often as the native species with a Raven on his shoulder but the wise know that it is the Raven and not the Mer that is the Everwatcher. The Everwatcher has appeared to followers in the past most often in dreams when a great discovery is needed or something is discovered that is beyond their comprehension. Worship of the Everwatcher is most prominent following the elven formation of Liadon with the Everwatcher showing many leaders among the elves the location of the haven.
Artifacts
The Everwatcher favours knowledge above all other things and this is reflected in the mysterious Hidden Texts said to be spread across the realms. Given to those who do a great service to the deity, the pages of the Hidden Texts contain knowledge from the Cosmic Archive that if deciphered can unravel great secrets of the universe. Unfortunately the pages are near impossible to decipher with a single line taking centuries at a time. The largest collection of the text in Liadon contains just 4 pages with little knowledge where the others might be found.
