Beliefs and Characteristics - Itzal, the God of Shadows, is hated by most. His followers tend to be calculating and manipulative. Greed and deception play significant roles in their judgment. Itzal is a very selfish God and his followers cater to this for their own selfish gains. Itzalians rely heavily on their quick-witted survival tactics, camaraderie, deceit, politics, and the corruptions of said politics.

Once the Elven Arch-mage of Fire, Itzal discovered that through alchemy the properties of fire could be manipulated with the air element to create a type of dark magic new to the world. He also inadvertently discovered another element, the balancing power of Light, but attempted to conceal its existence. It was revealed to the world when Astraeva attained the favor of the Gods to control it. After having vanished and been considered dead for a number of years, Itzal reemerged as the powerful God of Shadows.

Itzal's religion is at considerable odds with the elements of Light and Air, due to its uncanny reputation for negatively influencing bureaucracy and constraining local business. There are some associations with the religion of Pyrous, because of their similar beliefs regarding destruction. It is because of Itzal that the world of Archai has been shattered. What has happened is irreversible and the other Gods and Goddesses hold him accountable. Now that Gods have direct influence over their followers, Itzal's popularity gains amongst the arcanists, ranks of Goblins, and other deceitful types; all becoming a formidable foe in the cityscape of what has inevitably become New Archai Isle.
