Verath

Verath appears as a figure of living crystal, their form perfectly geometric and translucent. Their skin refracts light into complex patterns that represent every oath ever sworn. Their eyes are diamond-hard and unblinking, seeing through all deception. Golden chains of binding wrap around their form.

Utterly impartial and bound by their own nature, Verath embodies the weight of promises. They speak with crystalline clarity, each word binding and precise. Verath shows neither mercy nor cruelty, only perfect consequence.

Verath exists wherever oaths are sworn, manifesting to witness important bonds and contracts. They maintain the cosmic ledger of promises kept and broken, ensuring that every oath carries its proper weight and consequence.

Those who swear by Verath's name know that their words carry divine witness. Breaking such an oath invites consequences that are neither vindictive nor merciful, but simply inevitable - the natural result of betraying one's sworn word.

Among the Primordials, Verath holds a unique position as the arbiter of divine contracts and promises. Even other gods are bound by oaths sworn in Verath's name, making them essential to the stability of the cosmic order.

Verath's temples serve as neutral ground for important negotiations and treaty signings. Courts of law often invoke their name when witnesses swear to speak truth, and marriage ceremonies frequently include prayers to Verath to witness and bind the sacred vows of union.
