047 Goddesses related to magic

(Huge settings warning)

When Victor came out of the tailor shop, he had changed his appearance.

Wearing a silver-gray robe, brown leather trousers, and a pair of black deerskin boots...

"Looks good! Much more comfortable than the average navy uniform."

The navy uniform consists of a shirt and a suit. A martial artist like him would look good in a suit as a thug.

Whether it looks good or not is another matter, but it is true that it is tight and tight!

Therefore, it is normal for people to lose their clothes in fights. In comparison, the matching cloak is very good. Victor misses his cloak of justice a little bit.

"Where to go next?"

After adjusting his clothes a little, Victor asked the sorceress.

"I will give you a brief introduction to the situation in Mist Town, Your Excellency!"

Shatara also looked at this giant man in a robe for a while, and the savage aura on Victor's body had been covered up a lot.

Although his tall stature would still attract attention, at least he would not attract any scrutiny from the elf guards.

“The area we are in now is a small artisan area.

Bart's tailor shop, the dwarf Dalton's blacksmith shop, Lawrence's tannery hut, Master Rowan's gem workshop...well...and the wizard Lucas's magic shop."

Shatara pointed to each shop and said.

The ground here seems to have been hardened and feels like marble slabs when you step on it.

The street is nearly fifteen or six feet wide, with rows of wooden and stone huts on both sides. Some shops have chess pieces inserted in front of them or are marked with certain wooden signs.

For example, there is a flag with big scissors hanging at the door of the tailor shop, and a piece of leather being dried is placed directly on both sides of the door opposite...

"Where is Master Kevin's position?"

After "Big Brother" Victor put on his coat, even his tone of voice became more elegant.

"He is on another street, near the Temple of Nature. Let's go over and have a look?"

Shatara said nonchalantly. Victor also discovered that she had no experience in being a guide and just walked wherever she wanted.

"No, let's walk along the street first. Hey, Shatara, can you tell me about the [Blue Moon Knight] from before?"

Victor was still somewhat interested in the knight's armor that could withstand the domineering power of the knight.

"Reiner is a member of Waterdeep City [Blue Moon Monastery] and a follower of the Silver Lady..."

The sorceress introduced as she walked.

The Knight of the Blue Moon is a special advanced profession in the Waterdeep area. It is usually advanced by paladins or priests who believe in the moon god [Sulon] and the goddess of magic [Mystra].

The characteristic of this profession is that in addition to being able to cast divine spells like ordinary paladins, they can also cast magic like warlocks or wizards.

Different from ordinary spellcasters, they can use powerful [moon spells].

Due to professional characteristics, [Blue Moon Knight] will receive a powerful [Moon Waxing] blessing a few days before and after the full moon, which will improve strength, agility and physical fitness to a certain extent, and at the same time, the spellcasting ability can also be enhanced.

And when approaching the new moon, their defense capabilities can be improved.

They will attack when the moon is getting full, when their attack power increases; and when the moon is getting waning, they will defend, because their defense capabilities are better at this time.

"Sounds a bit like the [Arcane Knight] mentioned before"

Victor touched the stubble on his chin and said. It hasn't been dealt with for a few days, and the stubble is quite irritating. He doesn't know how to shave in this fantasy world...

"They are loyal believers of the Silver Lady and enemies of the Night Lady. And the [Moon Spell] is very different from the Arcane Knight's spell..."

Shatara simply explained the difference between the two paths.

To put it simply, [Blue Moon Knight] accepts God's guidance and always walks on the right path with [Lady of the Night] Shar.

For example, dealing with some dead creatures crawling up in the dark, such as skeleton ghosts and the like. [Blue Moon Knight] is also hostile to vampires, as well as some evil [lycanthropes]

The Moon Gods [Sulun] and [Shar] are a pair of "sister gods", and they are mortal enemies - similar to this are the Lady of Fortune [Temora] and the Lady of Misfortune [Benbasha]

According to some legends, Selun and Shar are the oldest gods in the universe.

According to ancient mythology, the God Above [AO] created the multiverse that now houses the planet Toril.

When this "universe" emerged, the original nothingness merged into two twin gods, one symbolizing light and one symbolizing darkness.

These two goddesses, [Shurun] and [Shar], created a celestial body named Toril and gave this celestial body a soul. Thus, the earth goddess Changdea was born.

Chantiya then begged the sisters for warmth so that she could nourish life and living things in her body.

Selun responded to the Earth Goddess's plea. She crossed dimensions to the otherworld of the fire element, brought back fragments of the eternal fire from there, ignited a celestial body and turned it into the sun, shining warmly on Changdea.

Goddess Shar, who cherishes the original darkness and hates life and warmth, angrily attacked her sister, starting an eternal war that has not yet stopped.

During the battle, Shar kept extinguishing Selun's light, which made the Silver Lady gradually lose in this battle of divine power.

Finally, the goddess Selun made a desperate move, releasing her magical spirit and throwing it at her sister.

When Selun's spirituality hit Shar, an equal amount of spirituality was torn from Shar. The two spiritual powers of light and darkness merged to form the goddess Mythril, who represents pure magic.

, and is also the guardian of the magical network throughout the world of Toril.

Because Mythriel was more sympathetic to her first mother, Selune, the goddess Selune gained a powerful ally (at great cost).

Although Selun's raid kept Shar in darkness for many centuries, allowing the world of Toril to be bathed in light and warmth, the attack also caused her to be extremely seriously injured, and from then on she

The strength will be restored to fullness or gradually weakened over time.

In comparison, Shar still retains most of her ancient power, and she is always patiently waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

Before the Year of Troubles, Selune's power had declined, so she sought refuge as a servant of Sune, the Fire-Haired Lady, the goddess of love and beauty.

However, after the Year of Turmoil, Suellen recovered a certain amount of strength and left the Fire-Haired Lady to pursue his own path again and find new allies to fight against his dark sister.

Selun's allies include [Goddess of Magic] Mythriel, [Lady of Joy] Lyra, and [Dark Maiden] Eilistraee.

Shar established the [Shadow Magic Network] in the shadow plane, which made Mithril dissatisfied. [Blue Moon Knight] is the product of the joint support of the two goddesses, Lady Magic and Lady Silver Moon.

It is worth mentioning that [Dark Maiden] was killed by her mother [Spider Queen] and was resurrected in recent decades.

——Even the evil and powerful Spider Queen cannot completely kill her daughter who is also a god (with weak divine power).

Rose also built a [Deep Pit Magic Network] on the 66th floor of [Abyss]...

"Goddess of Magic..."

Victor knew something about the magic goddess Mystra, but this was the first time he knew how she was born...

It is said that many people called him a "secret bitch" in his previous life, but he dare not say that now...

As far as he knew, the goddess of magic died at least once thousands of years ago, that is, she died from the legendary death spell of the great arcanist [Karsus], Ascension (it is said to be a 12-level spell).

Karsus used [Ascension Technique] to steal the goddess of magic's control over the magic network, hoping to become a god.

After the Grand Arcanist unleashed his spell, his body was swollen by the sudden influx of divine power, and his mind was filled with unimaginable knowledge.

Karthus immediately realized what a terrible thing he had done, but he also knew that no matter what he did, he could not stop what was destined to happen.

The divine essence that the Grand Arcanist stole from the goddess was the Weave priesthood that she needed to constantly repair.

——The once glorious [Netheril Empire] and its misuse of magic continue to threaten to disintegrate the Demonic Network.

When Mythril lost complete control of the Magic Network, and Karthus was not able to take over her duties, the Magic Network began to fall into violent fluctuations, and the Netheril region and other places were destroyed by primitive magic.

Flooded, the rising and falling tides of magic were far more powerful and destructive than ever before.

Mythril sacrificed herself to save the Weave before the damage became irreversible.

This self-sacrifice temporarily halted the interaction of the Weave, causing all magic to cease functioning for several minutes.

Without the stable injection of magic power, Netheril's floating city suddenly fell to the ground.

——This is also the fall of the most powerful magic empire in Faerûn (and even the entire multiverse) in human history.

After the magic network was stabilized, a new goddess of magic - Mystra - was born on Mythril's "corpse".

This Mystra is more personified (sao) than the previous Mythrael. There are various "legendary" stories about his daughter (incarnation) and several of his elects (concubines), which I won't go into here.

It is said that the former Archmage Sammaster found out that the color of his hat had changed, and because he couldn't accept it, he went crazy and founded the Dragon Worship Cult...

According to Victor's memory, the goddess of magic "died again" during the Year of Turbulence, seemingly at the hands of the God of Guardian Heimdall.

However, due to the long distance, he was not sure.

Shatara is a believer in Mystra. Even if she is only a light believer, she cannot directly ask:

"I heard that your god has died several times. Which generation is this one now?"

In Faerûn, where gods truly exist, faith is a very serious matter.

"Should I also find a god who is pleasing to my eye and 'attend' to me?"

Victor thought secretly.

"It doesn't cost any money anyway, how much faith do you have?"

How arrogant his idea is, and in Toril, belief in gods really costs money...
