Introduction
The Coven of the Hidden God recognizes the god of hidden and forbidden knowledge and seeks to augment his ever dimming power. For the last few centuries the hidden god's power has been waning, having been degraded and labeled as a "pagan" god by the most recent settlers of the continent. Should the hidden god fall into complete obscurity then no longer shall nobles or commoners alike find ancient artifacts in the form of unique items or lost knowledge in the form of magic scrolls, both of which are vital and necessary to stand against the daimonic scourge that plagues Dwilight.
Founding
In the month of June in the year 2020 a young commoner woman named Veronika came across an ancient tome of power. She reached out to the High Adjudicator of Westgard Travesty Tideweaver who then sent a courier to retrieve the text in exchange for coin and a glowing recommendation. Once the tome came into the hands of the High Adjudicator she learned it was called the Illuminated Codex. This tome is a fascinating book filled with histories and hints of long lost relics of old, scrolls of power, long forgotten knowledge, and hidden secrets all throughout the continent.
Between the High Adjudicators governing of the peoples of Aquitain, marches against various evils, marshaling the Sun Swords army of Westgard, and holding court throughout various regions in Westgard she began consuming the tome. She learned it never seems to end. Every time the book was opened it change, the topics different yet she could still find what she sought if she looked. This lead her to her discovering the existence of a long forgotten deity the Illuminated Codex only refers to as the hidden god. It was then that she discovered he is the keeper of lost knowledge, hidden secrets, and was a source of power to many things the continent desperately needed if it was to stand a chance against the daimons that plagued the south west of the continent.
On July 19, 2020 Travesty Tideweaver officially founded the Coven of the Hidden God after the last brick on the temple was laid in her own townsland of Aquitain in Westgard.
Core Beliefs
The Coven of the Hidden God recognizes the god of hidden and forbidden knowledge and seeks to augment his ever dimming power. For the last few centuries the hidden god's power has been waning, having been degraded and labeled as a "pagan" god by the most recent settlers of the continent. However, the hidden god now has a champion and a coven to see him rise to prominence once again. The hidden god does not favor worship and sacrifices as many other recognized gods in these lands do. Instead, he values knowledge and followers who thirst for it.
Daimons have a long history of hate towards the hidden god for he is the keeper of many secrets including the locations of scrolls and unique items that would cause them harm. The Illuminated Codex clearly states in many different ways that the hidden god encourages his followers to seek knowledge and wisdom. He wishes his followers to share and stockpile their discoveries and be ready to wield them as weapons against the Daimons.
As more people, both nobles and peasants, convert to the coven, the hidden god will gain in strength and grant divine boons in the form of hidden secrets that lead to ancient artifacts of power or lost knowledge in the form of magical scrolls. The hidden god does not want for worship as other deities, rather he would see humanity throw itself into learning and preparing for the imminent confrontation and constant skirmishes with the evils that haunt this land.
Should the hidden god continue to wane in power it will be less and less common for nobles and commoners alike to come across relics of power and scrolls of magic. Things humanity needs in order stand against the daimon scourge. This is why I seek to bring the hidden god back into prominence. Not to dispatch of other deities or cause religious blood feuds. This is a friendly order whose sole purpose is to gather and share knowledge with all those who would seek it.
Discovered Ancient Artifacts
Acquired Ancient Artifacts
Illuminated Codex owner: Travesty Tideweaver
A gift from the hidden god brought into the hands of nobility so that his existence would be known and stop his ever declining wane in power. This ancient tome holds powerful secrets within its frail pages. Secrets that are vague and indecipherable until the hidden god gains in strength and grants the reader of the Codex a boon.
Astonishing Manual owner: Strumer Madstone
A small book filled with locations of importance. Why they are important is unknown. Are they connected? Unknown. There are many things hidden within this manual that need to be explored.
Expeditions of the Coven
As knowledge of lost scrolls and relics of power are revealed via the Illuminated Codex or Astonishing Manual, the Coven will undertake expeditions to recover the item of power.
Discovered Lost Knowledge
The coven is young and as recruitment efforts begin for both commoners and nobles alike, none within the coven have yet to discover a lost magical scroll.
Acquired Lost Knowledge
No magical scrolls have yet to be acquired by members of the coven.
