Savras

Savras (pronounced SAV-ras ) was a god of mages and wizards in the service of Mystra, goddess of magic. Some say he was once a mortal, one of the mighty mages who constructed the portals beneath the city of Raven's Bluff. He is portrayed as a man with a crystalline face, clear to all who see him. His statements are clear, concise, and rarely what the listener wishes to hear. Savras' symbol is a crystal ball with many monstrous eyes.

Worshipers
Savras is worshiped in both north and south as a god of diviners and truth-speakers. His clergy is still sparse, as Savras has just been released from his century-old prison. Savras's only famous servant was Alaundo of Candlekeep, the one true prophet of the Realms.

Relationships
Savras, along with Velsharoon, serves Azuth, who is his superior, and thus is serving Mystra, indirectly. Following some dramatic events, he has a cold relationship with Azuth, which has steadlily grown to a mutual respect.

History
Savras, as a demigod and Azuth, a wizard with god-like abilities, duelled; this was due to Azuth contending for Savras' place. Thereafter, Savras fell, with Azuth becoming the one god of wizards. Savras was imprisoned in the Scepter of Savras by Azuth, where he remained until the Time of Troubles. Following this, Azuth agreed to release Savras in exchange for a pledge of fealty, leading to their current dynamic.

Dogma
"The blindness of mortals is the origin of all folly. Search for the truth in all things great and small and conceal nothing. Speak only the truth, for lies and misdirection, even for benign motives, are the root of all sorrow. Be not paralyzed be indecision, but take no action without analyzing the implications. Hasty actions and decisions are rarely more beneficial than well thought out strategies that are revised as necessary. Mortals who employ only their two common eyes are essentially blind. Savras provides the third blessed eye, allowing both foresight and hindsight, so that mortals can access the omniscience to help yourself and your church, but caution should be employed in furthering the goals of others, as part of their agenda may be hidden. Seek for the hidden motive before you act, and damage not the whole of the realm in which you live out your mortal life."
