Senses: Dardanis can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell at a distance of 11 miles. As a standard action, he can perceive anything within 11 miles of his worshipers, holy sites, holy objects, or any location where one of his titles or name was spoken in the last hour. He can extend his sense to up to 10 locations at once. He can block the sensing power of deities of his rank or lower at up to 2 locations at once for up to 11 hours.

Porfolio Sense: Dardanis senses any act of arcane magic and any act that happens on or effects a leyline or nexus point or involves aelium and that sense extends 11 weeks into the past.

Dardanis is the Three Worlds God of Magic. He has dominion over all Arcane magics as well as they leylines and aelium of the three worlds. Dardanis is a serious man, only appreciative of humor and brevity if it occurs while important matters are being attended too.

In his natural form, Dardanis appears as a very handsome young human male. He wears his dark brown hair short and spiky, a little wild. His eyes seem to shift between shades of browns, greens and hazels. He customarily wears wizard robes of dark blue, accented in silver. Glowing runes of white, grey, and black constantly move up and down the robes.

Dogma:

    As the God of Magic, Dardanis teaches that the Arcane is the greatest gift ever given the mortals of the three worlds.  By making the Three Worlds an endless generator of Arcane Energy, called Numina, the creator gods ensured that the beings who dwell on them would have all the power they need to live and succeed.  As such, his faithful must first and foremost be the guardians and stewards of that gift. 

    As a True Neutral deity, Dardanis preaches that magic belongs to no morale nor ethical precepts above any other.  He freely allows his Churches to develop along their own cultural, social, and personal codes of conduct with a deeply ingrained understanding that problems arising from their moral/ethical codes are their own to deal with.  Other churches of the faith are not bound to aid them in such situations, though they can if they choose..  Only to threats to the Church as a whole, the Leylines, Aelium, or magic itself will the faith be expected to band together.

    Dardanis teaches that any with the mind for Wizardry, the blood for Sorcery, the soul for Euphonery (The Bardic Arts), or the gall for Pactery (The Warlock Arts) should pursue them.  Not every wizard has the genius for the true heights of the High Art, but even those of more common talent will find their lives enriched with the development of their own magic.  His clerics and mystics, who themselves often multiclass into wizard or sorcerer, are fully prepared and eager to teach any that come to them hungry for the gifts of the arcane.  Refusing to teach one pursuing such knowledge is a minor breach of the faith, but one that occurs with frequency when priests of one moral/ethical bent encounter students that display an opposing one.

    The Eightfold God also teaches that the art of magical item creation is one of the finest and highest pursuits of the Arts and that the destruction of magical items should be reserved only for those that have become unstable or threaten the lives of practitioners of the Art or threaten magic itself. 

    The Lord of the Arcanum elucidates at length in his holy texts that the pursuit of the arcane is both an Art and a Science, that profound beauty is buried within each Nothic Equation and unforseen knowledge exists within every chant and ballad.  Those that see magic itself as a quest, a puzzle, a canvas, or a gift shall be exalted.  Those whose crudity sees magic as only a burden, a tool, a crutch, or a slave shall be scorched by it.

    Regardless of political, economical, or military circumstances in any given locality, it is the uncompromising position of the God of Magic and his church that the leylines and nexus points of the Three Worlds are the physical manifestation of Arcane magic in Severall and it is therefore their Holy Writ and Right to maintain temples and churches along them and guard them against abuse and damage.  Though strictures against Arcanists directly manipulating the leylines have long since been lifted, some spells remain the sole property of the Church, ensuring a certain amount of mastery to police the leyline grid as necessary.
