Sameth
God of Crafts
Sameth stands behind craftsmen and creators. He is a foragemaster, a carver, and a weaver, as well as a skilled master of other crafts, his hands are dexterous and strong, perfect for any works he puts himself to. Unlike Imperna, he does not concern himself with artistry. They consider flourish to be fine, but not worth anything compared to a solidly done work done well. Considering the artistry of the work over the function of the final piece is considered foolish, and any flourish that weakens the piece is anathema to him. This philosophy has, oddly, created works that are absolutely beautiful, but only because of their fine quality.
Sometimes Sameth reaches down into the world, standing behind skilled craftsmen and aiding them in the creation of skilled works. He will manifest as a simple apprentice or assistant and his presence will drive the master to greater and greater heights, caught up in a nearly divine frenzy. When the work is done, they may discover that they have crafted an impossibly fine work, a masterwork or magical item. Some people have even retired, hanging up their tools for the rest of their lives after realizing that they will never again reach such heights.
Sameth’s function among the pantheon is as the foragemaster and builder for the armies of souls, gods, and angels massed along the battlefield that stands against the fiends and outsiders. He considers himself the abject enemy of Vister, he builds the works of civilization and the growth of works, Vister tears them down.
