Sa'themar

God of Craftsmanship

While Azaelenn is the goddess of art and Thozan is the god of the forge, Sa'themar is the god of magical artifice and craftsmanship. His expertise covers the creation of magic items and artifacts. Sa'themar believes it is better to create your own power rather than making deals for it or finding it. Why delve into deadly dungeons in the hopes of finding what you're looking for when you can craft exactly what you need? However, he believes it is necessary to undergo quests and adventures to acquire the essential materials to craft with. Sa'themar hoards much of his power and the items he creates, defending them fiercely and offering no mercy to those who would steal from him. Most gods find Sa'themar to be trustworthy and dependable; however, not all agree with his sometimes draconian outlook. Sa'themar is commonly depicted as an elven male with golden skin and veins the color of magma coursing across his body. His hair is usually braided and pulled back into a ponytail; each of the strands appears to be made of precious metals such as silver, platinum, and mithral.
Sa'themar and Thozan were once extremely close friends, nearly inseparable. They often compared and critiqued each other's craftsmanship hoping to help each other improve. They even worked on several group projects together. However, things changed when they both began to seek Azaelenn's affection. Sa'themar and Thozan competed by crafting powerful and beautiful items to present to her. Eventually, Azaelenn chose Sa'themar, which was the final straw that broke the friendship between him and Thozan. For hundreds of years, the two became bitter rivals. With the chaos and tragedy that followed Cthulhu's emergence in the world of Urlyra, it seems the two have decided to work towards mending their friendship slowly.
Sa'themar's worshippers are usually crafters and collectors. A large number of volcanic elves worship Sa'themar, and he is considered one of their patron deities. Most of Sa'themar's worshippers believe the best way to further your station and power in the world is by having magic items, and the best way to get them is to craft them yourself. Many seek out worshippers of Sa'themar to have items custom-made for them because his priests tend to be trustworthy and skilled.
Most churches or temples dedicated to Sa'themar contain forges and other labs for item creation. They also usually include vaults where their clergy can lock away and store valuable items and artifacts. These vaults are some of the most secure and deadly vaults in the world. Sa'themar's priests show no mercy to thieves, and their traps and deterrents are designed to kill, not to capture or maim. It is common for Sa'themar's churches to have an altar dedicated to Azaelenn where his priests can make offerings to the goddess of art as well.
