Oyer, God of Magic
Names:
Oyer, The Fox, The Trickster
Purview:
Oyer is the god of magic, and with magic comes trickery. The Fox is bound to each and every one of the Primal Sources, intricately, and has the magic of each source flowing through its veins. As a god of all things magical, the Trickster is responsible for the arcane forces of the world. Despite its responsibilities, it chose long ago not to dictate who can and who can't have magic, leaving that up to genetics. Due to its deep connection to the Primal Sources, many speculate that it would likely die if all of the sources were somehow destroyed.
Known for its magic as well as its tricks, Oyer has always been a playful god. Well, deity would be a more accurate term, since Oyer seems to be gender fluid, often changing its physical form to match its mood, rather than remaining in one body as the other gods do. These tricks and traps, often capturing unintelligent humans, can range from playful to deadly, depending on the Fox's mood.
Following:
Despite being the youngest of the gods, Oyer has one of the largest followings. Though the elves do not worship the Fox as a god, they do respect its connection to each of the Primal Sources. Mortals, on the other hand, tend to praise the Fox quite often. Deemed as the patron god of the Kingdom of Duren, Oyer is seen as the progenitor of all things magical, and is loved by the public.
While the Fox is praised by some, it is hated by others. Many blame Oyer for streaks of bad luck, or for losses in gambling.
Location:
Oyer has traveled the world several times over, but in the past few centuries the Fox has remained in the Dire, keeping Amis company.
Allies:
Magic is fueled by life and knowledge, making Amis and Vihena cherished allies.
Enemies:
While many of the gods view Oyer as a nuisance, Vihena especially, none consider Oyer a true enemy. Vihena, as the goddess of knowledge, does become irritated quickly at the Fox's tricks, but never to the point where she is angered.
