God Name: Nexus
Titles: The Silver Charioteer, The Custodians of Dreams, Herald of the Night
Creed: “Night Comes.”
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral
Portfolios Governed: Dreams, Sleep and Night
Description: When Nexus visits the dreams of mortals, he most often takes the form of a man frail and ancient. He wears the robes of the night skies across his feeble looking body and though his eyes often look sunk and sullen they are blazed with a brilliance and wisdom of an eternal being. It is not unheard of for Nexus to take other forms while occupying people’s dreams if it serves a specific end.
Territories: Utopia: Nowhere. A forgotten ruinous city that seems to span forever in every direction deep in the Upper Plane. It is always eternally night there and though the city is a ruin, an ethereal nature has reclaimed it making it a sight to behold. Mortal travelers that venture to Utopia for whatever reason risk never finding their way back. Becoming wandering souls in this endless dead cityscape.
Symbol: A charioteer pulled by two rams.
Personality: Nexus is mostly aloof and cold. Passions that might once had burned inside his soul had simmered and died. Time and experience has been his friend, providing both excess amounts of patience and wisdom. Nexus come across as detached to the plights of the world around him, mostly keeping to his duties in the larger natural order of the universe. His intentions are often shrouded in mystery and there it always seems like the God knows a lot more than he is willing to admit.
Opinion on Mortals: “Their lives are short and sad. I am tasked with their sleep until their last eternal slumber.”
Equipment: Dreams: According to myth, Nexus has the ability to enter any mortal’s dreams as he sees fit. He has often done this to extol wisdom or a warning from the Gods. Nexus also can recall the dreams of any mortal who has ever existed, often spending long periods of time contemplating them as though they had some meaning behind them.
The Robes of Stars: Upon the birth of the new world, Nexus took a piece of the night sky while it was still malleable and wove it into a simple cloak. It is said the garment allows him to travel with the night, make him unseen to mortal eyes and allow him to pass through walls.
Yorfangur: Nexus’ magical silver chariot pulled by two rams made of star dust. It is said on a rare night; one might see the god pass over the night skies in the form of a shooting star.
Hypnos Powder: A seemingly endless bag of magic powder, One whiff and a mortal falls into a deep slumber. Only the rays of the Sun can dispel the magic.
