The master of magic and steward of the spellweave, Wrywall rules the ordered side of the Praefell Rift. He is an all-knowing god of magic, who encourages his followers to learn all they can and live good lives.

Wrywall is depicted as an elderly man with a long, grey beard and long hair. He is wearing fine robes and a very large wizard hat. He soars through the air on a small lounging chair and wields a staff carved from red wood.

Wrywall's closest ally is the god Prism. He also maintains a very good relationship with Titania and Oberon from the Fairy Kingdoms.

Wrywall has a neutral counterpart in Old Ruck, the god maintaining the Chaotic side of the rift. His relationship with her is not one of animosity, but he is annoyed that she seems slack on preventing her side of the rift from spilling over to his.

Wrywall was once an ally of Betelgeuse and his brother Ugsyn, but after the calamity of the Dark Twins, he directly opposes their newly adopted dogmas - especially those of Betelgeuse.

Wrywall's most hated nemesis is Beep. He will never admit this. Ever since Beep realized her divine powers, the two have been bitter enemies, and her ability to annoy and evade Wrywall is a point of great embarrassment for him. Very few of his followers choose to recognize this conflict with Beep, and those who do often do not consider her a god at all.

Beep and her ilk refer to Wrywall as “The Wizzey Man”, a pejorative nickname used to torment Wrywall and his followers.

Wrywall rules the Ordered side of the Praefell rift, keeping chaos at bay and allowing his followers to learn magic at their leisure in The Grand Library of the Weave.

He maintains strict guard over the Arcadia Well, which resided in the Library; mortals have a very difficult time passing through the well without his express permission.

Wrywall teaches his followers to spend their mortal lives learning all they can, and passing that knowledge onto the next generation. He teaches that the act of learning and the act of teaching can be one in the same, and encourages his followers to try and spread magic to the average person.

Wrywall insists that knowledge is a powerful tool with which to maintain the structure of society. He believes in using well informed magical aptitude and philosophy to maintain order. He actively discourages his followers to use it for violence unless absolutely necessary, and that some experimentation in better left to theoretical pondering. Magic is a delicate yet dangerous force, and must be approached with respect and responsibility.

The fundamental holy text of Wrywall. This is a very dense text book, detailing the advanced magical methods wrywall wishes to impart on mortal minds. It doubles as an account of his history, and contains much of his dogma. The technical lessons are intertwined with his ethical ones. It's content is only accessible to the sharpest minds.

The text ends with a chapter detailing very advanced rituals, which when combined serve as a final aptitude test wizards must undertake in order to join the ranks of the Mageika Elite.

Due to the advanced nature of his fundamental text, worshippers of Wrywall have interpreted his teachings and recontextualized them into a text book which is much easier to read and comprehend. This was in the hopes of broadening their reach, and making his teaching accessible to all. Mageika Nkimouar II is by no means an easy read, but it serves as an intermediate magical guide, and Wrywall's dogmatic teachings have been successfully separated from the theory enough that most people can grasp it.

Similar to Mageika Nkimouar II, the third installment of Wrywall's texts serves more as a beginner's guide to magic. The theory has been drastically reduced, leaving mostly just the dogmatic teachings. While none of Wrywall's texts are explicitly targeted towards any age group, this is a text book often assigned to children or young adults who are interested in learning about magic.

The fourth and final (and by far the shortest) installment of the Mageika Nkimouar. Often just called “The Magic Book”. This is a book stripped of all theory, leaving just Wrywall's history and teachings which have been re-written to use simpler language, and are accompanied by lots of colourful pictures. The fourth volume, which is intended for all ages, is often criticized for insulting the intelligence of it's adult audience while also being far too complex for the very young children it seems to be aimed towards. It has done much to add to the elitist and patronizing reputation of Wrywall's church.

The most devout worshippers of Wrywall are almost all Wizards.

In the Praefell rift, his worshippers live with him in The Grand Library of the Weave. The residents of this city-sized Library are almost universally some sort of spellcaster.

In Arcadia, Wrywall's devout followers are more varied. While many are high-ranking spellcasters in various institutions, many more common people make the attempt to learn from his church. Wrywall is also actively worshipped by the Church of Formation.

Wrywall's church is organized into a Heirarchy:

The ruler of the church, with exception to Wrywall himself. Nominated by the Sacrosanct Sage and elected by the Mageika Elite. Only two such positions exist within the church; One lives in The Grand Library of the Weave and serves the Praefell Rift while the other in Silver Sage, serving the wizards of Arcadia.

A servant of Wrywall, the Presiding Planar Minister, and all members of the church who is chosen and elected by Wrywall himself. The Sacrosanct Sage is arguably the most powerful position in the church of Wrywall, able to overrule all other members; this power, however, is meant for matters of arbitration or emergency.

A group of The Mageika Elite meant to council the Planar Minister and are delegated many of the higher administrative duties.

A class of Wizard who have studied The Mageika Nkimouar: Threads of the weave I and solved it's final tests. They are graduated to this status by the Maegika council.

Advanced magic users who are deemed fit to teach other from The Mageika Nkimouar. They are most often educators or researchers.

An average member of the church, or a student of magic.

Wrywall's temples often serve as a community's library or school. Magical institutions of learning often have large areas dedicated to Wrywall - his influence is inescapable for wizards from these backgrounds.

The Grand Library of the Weave is a city-sized library in the Praefell Rift, which acts is Wrywall's home and grandest temple.

In Arcadia, The Library of Silver sage is Wrywall's main temple. It is found in the sprawling city of Seri Mastal, on the shores of Siiba Mastal

Wizards literally have rituals lmao. Those are the rituals. Cut me some slack here.

The day that the ruling members of the church gather to judge the aptitude of Fellows looking to be registered with the church and/or one of it's various institutions. To be formally trained, an aspiring wizard must study The Mageika Nkimouar: Threads of the weave I and display theoretical and practical understanding of it's first chapter.

It is a grueling, expensive endeavor with high stakes.

Intake examinations are held throughout the Gap Week.

Held on the first day of Praefell, wizards may challenge the rituals of The Mageika Nkimouar: Threads of the weave I.

Those who graduate this examination join the ranks of the Mageika Elite.

On the 18th of Praefell, worshippers hold a celebratory feast in their community. It's a popular day with commoners, as they are treated to magical delights, food, games and entertainment. This is considered the day Wrywall divided the Praefell Rift, and in the order he created the church was formed.

Wrywall, Ruck, and Ivan were born from Praefell. They were the three gods of Power; Knowlege, Creation, and Destruction.

Wrywall and Ruck united to banish Ivan from their realm. Then, left to sort the realm themselves, agreed to divide it.

Wrywall would rule the side of Order, and teach the mortals under his rule the ways of magic.

Ruck would do weirdo stuff on the chaos side, like making little guys or whatever.
