Render-of-Veils
Render-of-Veils is a Machine God from Abyss. They're one of the Deities of the Sacred Cosmos, an ancient pantheon pre-dating the one of the Last Age of Abyss.
The oldest surviving records mention them as located in the Farglow system, sometime during the Mythic Age. Ultimately, their origins are unknown, possibly even forgotten by themself.
Names
Render-of-Veils got their name for what they do best: Tearing open the Veil between universes to draw power from the beyond, and tearing down the pretentious façades many hide behind. Their epithet "End of All Lies" also refers to the latter. Their other epithet, "Cleansing Light", refers to the eponymous ability used almost exclusively by Entropists, and by followers of Render-of-Veils in particular.Domains
Render-of-Veils is a liminal deity, reaching through the Veil between universes. By extension, they're also the patron deity of transuniversal nomads, including the Abyssan Diaspora. By way of the Cleansing Light they're a deity of death, at least to organic lifeforms, and by acting as psychopomp for their followers, they're also a deity of rebirth. Those again put them on a threshold between worlds, though in a more metaphysical sense. They're also a deity of entropy, courtesy of their preferred source of power. Drawing power from beyond the Veil comes with a cost to the universe, shortening its lifespan by millions of years. Render-of-Veils' penchant for causing social upheaval and ending the status quo prematurely also aligns with the domain of entropy.Personality
Render-of-Veils is a confessed nihilist, and seen as a troublemaker by most Abyssans. Their followers are widely considered heretics, though they are no longer persecuted during the Exile. During the Last Age, many Abyssans worried that the Entropists in general, and Render-of-Veils' followers in particular, might do irreparable damage to the already dying universe. Instead, they redeemed themselves by providing a way out, but their troublesome reputation remains to this day. And Render-of-Veils does their best to keep it that way. They have only scorn for the status-seeking frivolities of mortals and immortals alike. They're the smartass rocking up uninvited with biting snark and substantial evidence to ruin some self-proclaimed authority figure's day, either in effigy or through one of their priests.
