Vesper

Who is Vesper?
Vesper rose up in defiance of the god Bahamut, rising to power to exact judgement on evil doers who commit heinous acts. Unlike his more forgiving and understanding counterpart, Vesper believes that some people don't deserve forgiveness, and must face divine judgement for their actions. Once a powerful vassal of The Raven Queen, sworn to her as her champion, he rose to godhood after capturing and bringing the powerful arch-lich Morphilox to The Raven Queen for judgement of his crimes against the dead. The Raven Queen granted him immortality and power under the condition that he would act as her judge of those entering into the afterlife.

Vesper's place in Relanor
Under the command of the Raven Queen, Vesper waits in the shadows observing mortals going about their daily lives. He stalks those who commit acts of violence, specifically those whos cruelty and malice target the weak, poor, and helpless. He is known of by name, but not many hear his footsteps and live to tell about it. There are places on Relanor where they refuse to admit that Vesper exists, and claim he is not a god, but in the end all will meet his judgement sooner or later.

Vesper as a Deity
Vesper does not guide others or have teachings that he has given to his followers, but rather acknowledges those who act in his image by granting them the foresight and courage to seek out their foes and bring them to justice.

Teachings of Vesper
As Vesper does not specifically answer the prayers of his followers, the teachings of clerics and paladins of Vesper come from observations about their lord and are simply guiding beliefs and standards that all followers agree to adhere to:


 * 1) Fight for those who cannot defend themselves first.
 * 2) Not all those who ask for forgiveness deserve it.
 * 3) Do not flaunt and expose your intentions, it is better to keep them secret.

Followers of Vesper
Vesper is mostly followed by those who live in at the poles, and in the Underdark. In places where darkness shrouds the world for extended periods tend to have more whispers of Vesper's name. He has a particular following in the Underdark among Duergar and Drow seeking to go against the traditions that tend to define them. They usually dress in plane clothes and try not to draw attention to themselves, and usually only carrying a small symbol of their oath.
