Vagov

Vagov is the god of magic and shadow in the Contemporary Galaedroan Pantheon. He is among the oldest of the contemporary gods, serving as a representative of the element of darkness among the pantheon.

Appearance and Nature
Vagov's most common appearance is that of a tall, lithe figure cloaked all in black. His face is said to be a flat mirrored surface, and those who try to see themselves in it become cursed or indebted to him.

Unlike many of the other successors of the elder god Tenem, Vagov does not reside in the Black Valley. However, he is credited with its creation, and allegedly travels via shadows. Many who recount experiences with Vagov state that he appeared to them from the shadow of a willow tree.

Though imposing in appearance, Vagov is said to be a soft-spoken, introspective deity.

Worship
Worship of Vagov is dispersed throughout the continents of Galaedros, and major centers dedicated to his reverence exist in Henvert, Inverniel, Otayana, Danczhuun, South Phandoria, and Mahaptir. Many of these centers and structures are frequented by wizards seeking to expand their magical knowledge, and many spellcaster schools support the Evening Chorus, an order dedicated to the worship of Vagov.

Lineage
Vagov does not have any recorded children with other gods or mortals. Lady Noirín of the Black Feathers is said to be a successor to his teachings, however, as she was considered an apprentice to him before taking leadership of the Black Valley.

Though Vagov's relationships to others are exceedingly vague, some legends recount him having a mortal or once-mortal wife. Some believe this to be Noirín herself.
