Vane

## Description

Vane is a thaumaturge that separated the world into the Human Realm and the Magical Realm with the help of her paramour Vanum. Unlike the grasping, greedy thaumaturges that battled one another, the immensely powerful Vane channeled her magic into hope. She disliked war and separated the world in order to prevent mundanes--humans--from being dragged into the wars between magic users. In Saligia, she is referred to as the Creator. She is revered as a goddess in the Magical Realm, particularly by the Church of Vane. It is believed that she lived the rest of her life in the Human Realm after she created Saligia.

In Lou's Consort Route, it's stated that she looks exactly the same as MC.

## History

In Book 3 Chapter 7 of the Princes' Path, it is stated that Salgia and the Human Realm were once the same world. Thaumaturges became obsessed with the power they had and started dominating over those who didn't have magic--humans or what became known as mundanes. The people who didn't have magical powers referred to these insatiable thaumaturges as "demons" and looked at them with fear and reverence. However, 8 of these thaumaturges weren't satisfied with just conquering the mundanes, so they decided they wanted to rule the world as well. The names of these 8 "demons" were Avari, Akedia, Invidia, Ira, Luxure, Qelsum, Tristitas, and Voleri. Each of these thaumaturges created their own domain which they controlled and then waged war with each other. However, there was 1 thaumaturge who refused to pledge their allegiance to any of these kingdoms and that was the Creator of Saligia, Vane. Vane was not greedy like the other thaumaturges and filled her magic with feelings of hope. In order to prevent the mundanes from getting caught up in the wars between the thaumaturges, she used her full power with the help of Vanum to create a world that was identical to the Human Realm and sealed all the thaumaturges there. This artificial world is Saligia.

Vane and Vanum were paramours before the war broke out. However, Vane made the difficult decision to live in the Human Realm for the rest of her life while Vanum remained in Saligia. She made this decision because both worlds needed to be properly monitored. So, they were separated for the rest of their lives. However, Vane did make a wish on the moon. She wished that when her soul and Vanum's soul were once again reunited, she would be able to meet and talk with her reincarnation.

It is mentioned in Book 4 of the Princes' Path that Vane also had a black cat familiar like MC's cat. According to the most ancient chronicle of Vane that exists in Saligia, there is a legend that Vane bequeathed a powerful enchanted object to the Human Realm.

### Vane's Day

Vane's Day is the day that Saligia came into existence and it is held each year in honor of the Creator, Vane. Each kingdom has its own way of marking the occasion. In the Bamboozled and Bewitched story event, in leu of holding a celebration, they have a more subtle gathering.
