Description
Vannevar is one of the three most important deities in the Sinensis pantheon, and is a member of the Celestial Council. It is believed that Vannevar is the wisest of the gods, an eternal seeker of knowledge, and the source of all Yin knowledge. By providing his Wisdom through his role on the Celestial Council is generally held to have been the reason that the Council was able to defeat the Infernal Machinum at the end of the second age (2A).

Vannevar's primary followers are Yin-style Druids and their acolytes, as well as many scholars, librarians and other seekers of knowledge. Village wise-men are often referred to as "The Wise" as a form of homage to their role in the village and its parallel with Vannevar's role in the heavens.

Note: (Theology ••••)
Vannevar is actually one-half of Arch-Deity Maeros, the father of all of the gods. As a result, he is widely held by authoritative scholars to actually be the most powerful deity in the pantheon. While other deities are the creations (or descendants) of Maeros, Vannevar actually is Maeros in a very real sense. For further information, see "The Maeros Myth"
