Revision as of 01:24, 22 March 2020

Vesh is a dark entity who has claimed godhood to Kashaw, though she is not in fact a goddess.[1] Gods cannot go past the Divine Gate, which also reveals her as something else entirely.

Background

Vesh married a human named Kashaw when he was born. She slaughtered everyone else in the village, and came back to consummate the marriage on his fifteenth naming-day. As part of a ritual called "The Sting of the Hundred", Kashaw inflicted fifty cuts upon his own right arm, and Vesh made the next fifty. When Kashaw's blood mixed with Vesh's sweat, he gained all of her memories, which is when he discovered she was evil. In order to balance Vesh's dark powers, Kashaw was raised as a healer, and tried to kill her when he was fifteen. He hasn't seen her since.[2]

Trivia

  • The character of Vesh was created by Will Friedle.[3]
  • Vesh is not included in the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Guide, though she is included in the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount as a Lesser Idol.[4]
