Divine Domains
According to the Vopa, Vesi is the world that the Vopa live in
and all of the entities inside of it. Everything is thus
divinely touched with their power and this power is accessible
by magic. While magic is within their domain, the Vopa have a
complicated relationship with respecting its power. Because they
believe that Azatara has been wronged by Vesi and they wish to
restore the god's teeth to them, Vesi is seen as a much lesser
god and has much lower prominence in everyday Vopa worship.
The cult of Libo, on the other hand, prizes the role that Vesi
plays in the creation of the world. The sect is an offshoot of
Vopa that specifically dedicates themselves to Vesi, ignoring
the call of
Pemija
to host astral creatures in their bodies. Members of Libo can
easily be identified by their lack of mutations.
Holy Books & Codes
Commentary on the
Parasoza
describe Vesi in varying terms. Some writers describe them as an
ignorant and weak beast, lesser to Azatara, while others
venerate the source of their existence with greater deference.
The Libo have an additional holy book, the Omono, dedicated to
the study of Vesi. It has commentary on the Parasoza that
directly relates to Vesi. Dreams recorded by various Libo
followers are also included in the Omono, so it is an
ever-expanding text.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
The symbol of Azatara is the semicircle lacks an additional
circle (or sometimes two circles) inside it, so the symbol of
Vesi is a solid semicircle.
During healing rituals,
vubopas, Vopan priests, will often draw a plain semicircle on their
palms with mud or washable ink to call upon the life energy that
their world creates.
Holidays
The Vopa do not have any particular holiday dedicated to Vesi,
but the Libo cult regularly hosts small outdoor markets in warm
mornings. The various products, including food and decorations,
are meant to celebrate the breadth of the gift that Vesi
bestowed upon them.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
According to the Parasoza, Vesi is unaware of Azatara's goals to
get their teeth back. If there are other goals that Vesi has,
they have not been revealed to the Vopa.
Mental Characteristics
Accomplishments & Achievements
Despite the terrible bite of Azatara, Vesi remained whole. When
the egg hatched, Vesi quickly separated from Azatara, holding
onto their teeth. The stolen prize was soon buried deep
underground to prevent the growing life of Vesi's world from
discovering it.
