Elevenfaced

Elevenfaced is a fictional figure that appears in a range of fantasy narratives and role-playing game settings. In these works, Elevenfaced is depicted as a deity or demigoddess whose eleven visages embody different aspects of existence. The figure is commonly associated with perception, memory, and the governance of fate, serving as a mediator between mortal life and larger cosmic order.

Iconography of Elevenfaced typically shows eleven distinct faces arranged around a central crown or within a circular disk. Each visage is described as having unique eye colors and expressions, symbolizing domains such as creation, harvest, war, mercy, justice, and knowledge. Some traditions describe an eleven-pointed sigil or wheel that accompanies the deity, reinforcing the idea of multiple paths and perspectives.

Worship and cult practice, where described, involve rites performed at transitional times such as dawn and dusk, when light and shadow are thought to align with perception. Followers may seek guidance on decisions with far-reaching consequences and seek to balance competing life paths. Offerings commonly include masks, mirrors, and inscribed tablets intended to reflect the deity’s multiplicity of viewpoints.

In fiction and gaming, Elevenfaced serves as a device to explore themes of choice, fate, and pluralism. The portrayal varies by author and setting, but often centers on the tension between predetermined outcomes and the freedom to choose among many possible futures, as seen through the deity’s many faces.
