Wivvil

—Wivvil

Wivvil is the only god under the Force of Knowledge, Certus. His god-name is the Scribe and he is tasked with recording all knowledge in the world of Avelis. His Tower is a vast library which he maintains with the help of golems and disembodied hands. He also has a partiality towards the colour blue.

## Appearance

Wivvil’s true form is nebulous, more of a suggestion of a humanoid form than an actual physical body. When in the presence of other people, he takes the form of a bald, middle aged man with a square black beard and bright blue eyes. Wivvil dresses himself in bright cerulean robes.

## Personality

Wivvil is a polite yet snarky host. He is eager to interact with the Guardian’s as he rarely gets visitors to his tower. At times he appears to have a slight superiority complex against mortals on the basis that they do not live long enough to ‘truly grasp knowledge’, although he does concede that without the knowledge created by mortals his library would not exist. At times he seems to forget that not everyone is as knowledgeable as himself, such as when he forgets to clarify the price of earning his favour. He is very interested in learning new things and finds it frustrating that Kai was able to prevent him from gaining access to Estra  for thousands of years.

## Purpose

Wivvil's father, Certus, believed that knowledge was not something that could be guided, unlike the purpose of the other gods. As Wivvil's god-name suggests, his purpose is to observe and document all of the knowledge that mortals create. This is why he has his Tower; an enormous library dedicated to his writings.

## History

### Arc 2: Into Avelis

Wivvil was first mentioned by Dawson  as a way to learn New Common in episode thirteen. After collecting the Protector’s Blade for Dawson, he gave the Guardian's the location of The Tower of Wivvil.

The Guardian’s arrive at Wivvil’s tower in episode seventeen after completing his trail in the woods where they had to follow a magical light. Wivvil welcomes them with enthusiasm and although he initially assumes that Maeri  is her mother, Kai, he quickly realises that she is not. He tells the Guardian’s that he knows why they are there and then requests an offering from each of them in return for the knowledge of New Common.

His request is such: the Guardians must tell him something that he does not already know. Maeri is exempt from this, as he did not know of her existence until now. The Guardian’s each tell Wivvil something about Estra, as until this point Kai had prevented him from gaining access to Estra and he knows very little about it. Unfortunately, Wivvil had not clarified the true price of his favour and some of the Guardian’s memories are taken from them.

Before Wivvil gives them New Common, he asks the party to sit and have tea with him, as he is eager to have visitors. They agree, but soon their conversation is interrupted by Falen  setting the Estra section of Wivvil’s library on fire.

Falen hits Wivvil with a dart covered in khastra  venom, incapacitating him until Laika  is able to heal him of the poison. Although the Guardian’s failed at catching Falen, Wivvil seems more annoyed and apologetic about the permanent loss of the knowledge of Estra than he does at the harm to himself. The khastra’s venom is severely detrimental to a god and while suffering from the after effects Wivvil loses all interest in hosting the Guardians. He gives them the ability to speak New Common and sends them on their way.

## Powers

* **God's speak:** Any mortal is able to understand him, despite what language they know.
* **Knowledge transference:** Wivvil has the ability to give and take knowledge from people's minds.
* **Disembodied hands:** Wivvil also has control of disembodied golden hands which he utilises while archiving knowledge for his library. It is unclear if these hands are an extension of his nebulous body or a godly power that he commands.
* **Teleportation:** Wivvil transports the Guardian's from the top of his tower to the bottom floor in an instant.
* **Summoning:** Wivvil conjures both couches and snacks for the Guardian's when they visit his Tower.
