Versak, was a former god of Law and Death, in the Long-lost Atlantean Pantheon .
Overview[]
Although Badarus reportedly sired the rest of the Atlantean Gods, Versak was inevitably portrayed as much older than the explorer-God in visage, fulfilling a strange and seemingly contradictory role as both his son and his elder. Versak was the truthspeaker for the Atlantean culture. His Scions were the nation's lawgivers, and to them fell the responsibility for dealing with those deviants who would have used Atlantis' technological superiority for their own gain, or who were unable to abide by the peaceful laws of the island-nation. Versak was also one of the Atlantean Death Gods, although his role in this sphere was limited to those whose fates had caught up with them: criminals, thrill-seekers, those who indulged in unhealthy practices to excess and the like. Unlike many of the Atlantean Gods, Versak was a loner, never linked romantically with other Gods of the pantheon. When he sired Scions, it was not through a tryst, but through imparting his divine word upon the subject of his attention. Those who bore Versak's Scions were often virgins and after giving birth, were frequently given the title "the Mother of Truth" and accorded particular respect among the Atlantean nation for their perceived wisdom having been singled out for Versak's attentions. Some references to Versak in Seshat's scrolls refer to the God as female or neuter.
