Overview
Profile
Dovu is not the god of magic, as some mistake him for, but rather the god of arcane knowledge. As such, his domain is to seek out all knowledge of magic in the world and to build upon it himself, creating and altering spells and runes used to craft magic items, among other things.
A few centuries ago, Dovu vanished without a word or trace. None know where he has vanished to, but many fear he has become lost in The Arcane Plane, and worry what might happen without him to oversee his domain.
Depictions
Appearance
Dovu is often depicted in wizards' garb, casting from a spell book, studying at a desk, or carving out runes.
Holy Symbol
Many who worship Dovu prefer wands as their spellcasting foci, or bear the symbol of the wand on their person.
Influences
Goals
Dovu seeks to uncover all arcane knowledge in the universe, and used to serve as the patron to many wizards, aiding them in their studies. However, he vanished several centuries ago.
Divine Relationships
Dovu was regarded as a mildly eccentric but respectable deity, close with Aracne and her pantheon, but his peers are starting to grow concerned with his absence.
