Selain - Summoning God
Taken from The Great Almanac of the Gods:
Selain came from a rough mortal childhood and, perhaps more than any other God, understands the realities of a harsh life. He constantly seeks to better his position and power in any given situation, always lusting for wealth, corruption and vice. He worked his way up the mortal social ladder showing a complete lack of scruples before achieving godhood, aided and abetted by Mortos, shortly before the War of the Gods. Although his initial efforts in the War involved only simpler manipulation and mind-control, throughout the long centuries, Selain has become a master in his field, twisting the thoughts of mortals to suit his own designs and manipulating minds in ways only he can fathom. He is the patron of all merchants and criminals and the developer of Summoning and Shapeshifting. Upon developing a way to extract life essences from the very substance of the Lands, he was able to summon animals and monsters to mock Aluwen and Zarin, whom he dismisses as extremely naive goddesses pursuing ridiculous goals. Scheming and intelligent, he has an intellect to rival Unolas, but is often blinded by his own lust for power.
To follow the path of Selain is to dare to seize opportunities; to be wealthier, smarter, and better than all other beings.
