Selufron

Selufron (pronounced selluh-fron) is theCardinal God of Magic and one of the original Ten Gods known to Djorig. He is the Watcher of the Weave, the Guardian of the Astral Sea, and the overseer of all that is magic. He is an extremely popular god as the spark of magic can be found in nearly all mortals. He is most often worshiped by humanoids that practice the arcane arts but is also sought as a teacher by those that wish to master all forms of magic.

Though popular to mortal practitioners, Selufron tends to direct would-be-worshipers towards his subservient ally in knowledge, Mimiron. Only when a mortal has proven themselves to be powerful beyond mortal norm does Selufron take notice, granting them a glance into the secrets the Weave reveals. Selufron is depicted as the archetypal Archmage, a figure of the same race as the viewer adorned with multicolored robes and wielding a staff. No matter his form, his iridian eyes betray his modest appearance.

War of Divinity
At the Dawn of the Age of Divinity, before the creation of the Prime-Material Plane and when Primordials roamed free, from the aether of the Astral Sea came ten entities. These self-fashioned Gods came into conflict with the Elder Primordials, and sought to bring order to the universe around them. Leading them was Akaene, the Firstborn. The battles of the newborn Gods and the Primordials were devastating, ripping portions of the Astral Sea open. However, the disorder of the Primordials proved to be their downfall. The siblings were able to isolate and defeat each of the elder beings, as while together the Primordials were indominable, alone they were only a difficult foe. In the final battles, the Cardinal Gods failed to destroy Primordas, the mightiest of the Primordials, and were only able to separate portions of Its essence. They used what remained of Its power to create a new realm, aiming to forever seal away their greatest foe.

The Cardinal Gods started to debate how they would divide their newly conquered realm, but their squabbles started cracking the very foundations they just formed. From the darkness came a figure unlike any they had seen, a being cloaked in flame and shadow that was neither Divine nor Primordial, holding in its hands a scroll of gold and vellum. The being spoke with civility and decorum, informing them that the adversary they fought so valiantly to seal would eventually be reborn if they did not take careful steps to ensure the stability of their newly created realm. Ashmedae referred to himself as a curator of order and divided the fundamental forces between the younger gods as a neutral party. No recollection states exactly what was said, but a contract was formed, a Divine Mandate, one that would ensure the everlasting sealing of the First Adversary and balance of the Inner Planes.
