Goddess of Crafts True Neutral Arcana, Forge, Knowledge Portfolio: Crafts, Smiths, Forges Temples: Temples to Sameth may serve as forges and crafts stations, or as displays for fine works. More often Sameth has shrines placed within workstations and forges.
Sameth stands behind craftsmen and creators. She is a forge mistress, a carver, and a weaver, as well as a skilled master of other crafts, his hands are dextrous and strong, perfect for any works she puts herself to. Unlike Imperna, he does not concern herself with artistry. They consider flourish to be fine, but not worth anything compared to a solidly done work done well. Considering the artistry of the work over the function of the final piece is considered foolish, and any flourish that weakens the piece is anathema to her. This philosophy has, oddly, created works that are absolutely beautiful, but only because of their fine quality.
Sometimes Sameth reaches down into the world, standing behind skilled craftsmen and aiding them in the creation of skilled works. She will manifest as a simple apprentice or assistant and her presence will drive the master to greater and greater heights, caught up in a nearly divine frenzy. When the work is done, they may discover that they have crafted an impossibly fine work, a masterwork or magical item. Some people have even retired, hanging up their tools for the rest of their lives after realizing that they will never again reach such heights.
Sameth’s function among the pantheon is as the forge-mistress builder for the armies of souls, gods, and angels massed along the battlefield that stands against the fiends and outsiders. She considers herself the abject enemy of Zaris, she builds the works of civilization and the growth of works, Zaris tears them down.
