Seidies

Seidies [CN] - Shadows, Night, Placidness, Mystery, Werecreatures

Domain - Shadows, Night

Seidies appreciates sentient life and frequently sends his Deva to walk among them, often appearing as dark haired individuals. He likes dusk those that move in the shadows and the frontier He delights in skillfull stealthy assassinations, bold political moves and illusions but is ambivalent towards thievery. He often plays the role of silent observer but is quite interested in the affairs of others. His temples are far and few, his worship being discouraged but accepted within the Empire. Street magicians, illusionists, and those that stay out of sight are drawn to his worship, and faithful followers often do meet his angels, though only a rare few meet him.

His commandments are few:

Tricks are most easily avoided by the wily, those unburdened by honour, who aren't afraid to use tricks themselves.

Do not be afraid of the light, but keep to the shadows when necessary.

When change comes your way take it by the reins, advantage is best used by the disadvantaged.

Birds of a feather.

Lore
Seides is the first demi-god, His original body was archfey in nature and part of that essence remains with him but his soul and spirit are that of the divine. His archfey body while the most powerful body he has ever obtained could never hold his power and was destroyed ages ago. He now resides in the bodies of sentient beings until it no longer suits him, or they are destroyed. His essence is not destroyed however, it instead retreated back into the shade of the Shadow Realm. His lack of massive followers does not limit his choosing of bodies to inhabit as many followers of Seidies consider it an honour to be chosen to be picked by his angels to be his new body. He is accepted by the Precursor gods but is seen as less than them, but more than ascended gods.

Seidies hates Xuna and dislikes Eladrin, seeing them as his " mere reflections".

He attempted to infiltrate the material plane with captured people cursed with all the shadow beasts that could transform in the night (werecreatures) in an attempt to capture the Eladrin of the world so they might tell him the secrets to the gates to the Feywild. Lord Autumn visited some time and after being told of the plot appreciated the ruse. But would not tell him how, as he was unable. Soon after in a dinner party with his Mother Sehaine and Xuna he had too much to drink and quietly told her of the plot. She decided to keep the secret from Xuna and watch the event from the moon. However, in the nightime darkness She could not find the cursed individuals who unknowingly were about to carry out Seidies' plot, so she illuminated the moon just enough so that she could see, however Xuna had overheard the plot from Lord Autumn and infused the moonlight with Divinity, revealing all the were creatures. Some fought and died, some fled into the night. From then on the moonlight still holds a thread of divinity and retains its ability to reveal werebeasts.
