Redemption is a difficult and sacrificial act. Many destroy themselves trying to attain it, many more lose their nerve and do not attain it. Vavren is the lord of redemption and guides those that seek to redeem themselves not just in the eyes of their peers but also in their own eyes. To admit weakness is a difficult thing, to truly change even more so. Although Vavren does not speak, he watches and commands plenty from his silent watch over the souls of mortals.[^1](https://www.worldanvil.com/w/verum-arcadum/a/vavren-article) ### Prominent followers - _[Micha'el Grace](Micha'el%20Grace.md) from [The Dark Sermon](Corvanis/Parties/Completed%20Campaigns/The%20Dark%20Sermon/The%20Dark%20Sermon.md)_ - [Adrien](Adrien.md/) from _[The Crystal Sun](The%20Crystal%20Sun.md/)_ - [Alexander Glenn](Alexander%20Glenn.md/) from _[Soul of Tyre](Soul%20of%20Tyre.md/)_ - [Gentle Godfrey](Gentle%20Godfrey.md/) from _[The Cost of Hubris](The%20Cost%20of%20Hubris.md/)_ - [Simon](Simon%20(The%20Inquisition).md/) from _[The Inquisition](The%20Inquisition%20(Campaign).md/)_ - [Vasily](Vasily.md/) from _[Into the Mists](Into%20the%20Mists.md/)_ ### History #### [Ives' Encounter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDoF-SFwdfo) In a quiet, secluded area of [Camp Last Stand](Camp%20Last%20Stand.md/), the winds blow through the leaves and a trail opens, which [Ives Brightburn](Ives%20Brightburn.md/) follows. As Ives reaches the end of the path, which is know known as "_The Trees of Revelation,_" he starts to reflect on those he has murdered. Ives sees a small shrine that catches his eye. It represents _Vavren._ Ives wonders if what he is doing is enough; can he be redeemed or even forgiven. A soft hand is placed on Ives' shoulder, and he expects to be killed. As the hand lets go and Ives turns around, he sees Vavren. Vavren gestures a greeting and Ives nods in response. The red autumn leaves gently swirl to surround the both of them. Vavren takes one of the leaves and puts it to his chest, changing the color to green as he lets go. He gestures for Ives to do the same. Ives gently plucks a leaf out of the air and stares down at it. _As one walks towards salvation, before they can be forgiven by others, they must first forgive themselves._ Ives, thinking about his sister, smiles and lets go of the leaf as it changes green. All the red leaves now turn green, and Vavren disappears, leaving an arrow laying horizontally on the ground, engraved with the mark of the crow. Ives picks up the arrow with both hands and, looking up at the sky, says, _"Thank you."_ Ives places the arrow inside his Top Hat quiver, providing him a use of _Crowstorm,_ a volley of arrows that will rain down in a 30 feet radius. Ives then heads back to camp, brimming with purpose.[^2]((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDoF-SFwdfo)) [^3](https://youtu.be/Kvlj00Ne7wI?si=ClVDJWKyGv34dYdT) ### Worshipers - Prisoners - The Lonely - Monks - Missionaries ### Religious Views - Crimes - Redemption - Regret - Good (Shared) > "You can't seek forgiveness if you're not sorry." > Holy Day: The Winter Solstice
