Les'Shavar

Les'Shavar is a deity primarily worshiped by necromancers and intelligent undead. He encourages his followers to seek undeath, both for themselves and others, and especially in the form of sentient undead such as vampires and liches. His worshipers tend to view unintelligent undead like zombies and skeletons as non-ideal, but will use them if necessary.

He is also fond of ghosts and other spirit undead, with "A corpse is a tool, a soul is an ally" being a common saying among his followers.

He considers himself to be the true god of death, rather than Vephar. In truth, despite their philosophies being at odds, the two of them share a similar goal. While Vephar seeks to keep souls out of Anliaeth by directing them to a realm of his own making, Les'Shavar teaches that necromancy can achieve that end far more effectively, allowing mortals to achieve immortality through undeath and even ripping souls out of Anliaeth and allowing them to continue their existence among the living.

Avatars
The first appearance of Les'Shavar's avatar was an event known by his followers as The Wakening. In 15,459 FV, the sun elf city of Ka Asiri was attacked by an army of Sevatrashai. The poorly defended city of mostly commoners was quickly decimated, leading to several hundred casualties. Les'Shavar's avatar appeared in the midst of the carnage, and the elves of Ka Asiri awoke. They were not alive, although their bodies were repaired and had ceased to decay, and their souls had rejoined their body. These elves become known as the Dhampir.

Les'Shavar's avatar disappeared shortly after, leaving behind a tome containing the knowledge of how to create more dhampir.

His avatar next appeared during the Arcane War, after the Kahvlarashen had surrounded Ka Asiri on all sides. Records of this second appearance are more vague, but it is believed he allowed the Dhampir to escape in some way, taking them to an ancient city deep within Ir, and long predating modern Verail civilization.
