Description:
God of Learning and Sorcery.
Known to the Elves as Livurien the Sorcerer.
His companion is the White Lord (Tela Oriens), the Elven demi-God to whom it is believed Hamaskis taught the secrets of Sorcery.
He is also known as Serion and Tyralar.
He is the patron of all sorcerers and scholars.
Some scholars believe that he may even be the brother of Titan.
However, others argue that were this to be the case he would surely be the Head of the Hall of Mind rather than just a member.
He is certainly considered to be one of the Greater Gods and thus there is a strong belief that he is the son of Titan.
He has close connections with other Elven Gods and there is also a belief that he may be the father of the Children of Erillia.
He is often depicted as an old man or a fresh faced youth with a huge open book.
His symbol is the staff and his priests wear robes in his sacred colour purple.
They can often be encountered because they are known to be adventuring priests trying to bring the gift and love of knowledge to the peoples of Titan.
In cities the temple to Hamaskis will simply be the Library, although remember that these places are very sacred in the world of Titan for the written word is a rare commodity.
He was known in ancient Djarata as Khunam and depicted with the head of a ram.
