Laviege was also split created from Cyphus, but not of his will. Rumor tells that Cyphus, before the advent of Lucion, looked upon a realm that was twisted by Unreality into a horrible facade of what it once was. Objects no longer held definite shape, time rampantly ran out of control, everything was chaos. Instantly disturbed, Cyphus could find no way to record this realm that was so far from constancy. From his perception, Laviege was born as a living recording of chaos. She yearns to capture again a moment of pure Unreality and change the world forever.

Laviege appears as a human woman around 15 years of age, her hair a dark silver and her eyes glowing slightly with a purple tint. Covering her entire body are strange purple sigils that seem to morph and change as a viewer percieves them. Partly because of this Laviege usually cloaks herself entirely in black robes. She is the keeper of knowledge that should not be known, and has seen what should not be seen. Her influence has brought changes that go against natural order, the dead coming back to life, the obliteration of the soul, and the physical embodiment of emotions such as fear and pain. She offers this knowledge to those who are interested in it's allure of unstoppable power, always for a price. Her own body too warped to fully realize her dreams, she seeks to manipulate mortals instead into becoming her god-pawns, bringing masses of unreality into the world so she can once more see the beauty that was her home.

Dogma:

Followers of Laviege are globally hated, especially by those of Lucion. The magic that she gives to her closest disciples is an entirely different breed, instead of feeding on the Unreality in the world it warps what is real into the nonreal, completetly disregarding Lucion's fragile balance. Those that use it can wield impossible amounts of power yet require immense amounts of will to control the unreality. The vast majority of those turning to Laviege are corrupted wizards who seek limitless power, who seek to become gods themselves.

Laviege and the Deciever:

Laviege believes that the Deciever was born from a soul twisted with undescribable malice who then sought the powers of Unreality and was able to control them. She has long sought to harness this power for herself, and theorizes that the deciever has collected enough unreal power to create a change of her desired magnitude, to plunge the world into the depths of chaos. She cannot understand however why the Deciever is so concerned with petty twisting of mortals instead of the twisting of reality itself. She sees that the Deciever is "too good" at controlling it's power, and thus she seeks to destroy it, hoping that the resulting influx of uncontrolled unreality would warp the entire universe.
