Arcanosyne

Arcanosyne, the Arcana was the God and origin of arcane magic until his destruction near the end of the Blood War.

Placement in the Pantheon
Arcanosyne was the first and most powerful of the three creations of Sudara and Vacarion. He aided the Worldhammer in forging some of the most powerful divine artifacts prior to the Blood War, such as the Seraphic Crests.

After Sudara left the Pantheon, the Arcana was devastated. According to legend, he recluded himself somewhere outside the known planar system (even beyond the Outlands) throughout most of the Blood War. During this time he [REDACTED].

A Strange Death
The exact nature of his death remains a mystery, but it is generally placed around the end of the Blood War and either shortly before or after the shattering of Sudara. Contemporary theologians have many theories regarding the reasoning behind his end. Some theorize that he was destroyed in a similar fashion to Sudara, which also remains unknown.

Others argue that the most likely timing of his death and his seemingly sudden return to Elyria suggest a more drastic death. They claim he may have self-immolated either as a retributive strike against the destructors of Sudara or even before this as a final attempt at ending the hostilities of the Blood War. But these claims are disputed and seen as unlike the normal behavioural pattern of the Gods as they are understood today.

Modern Arcane Magic
His destruction led to the creation of an arcane weave that is found throughout the entire multiverse and allows those who study it to gain arcane powers. Prior to this, all magic was granted directly by the Gods.
