At the foundation of [[Davism]] is the belief in the '''Lord of the Springs''', a
benevolent and passive entity that primarily represents purity of soul.
The Lord of the Springs takes His name from His speaking to [[Dav]] at the
headwater pools of the [[River Bren|Bren]], far off in the [[Tarn Mountains]].

The Lord of the Springs is not viewed as omniscient, omnipotent, or
standing in judgment; souls of the dead are either pure enough to rejoin
His essence after death or not, and it is not his decision. People pray to
the Lord for guidance and illumination, that his example might show them
how to act or be; they do not pray to him for actual concrete help or
deliverance, as he does not intervene in the world. Davism considers him
to be the only true God, and unrelated to demons and demonism in any way.

Dav ab Harmon is the only person to ever speak with the Lord, and as such
is the only prophet accepted by Davism to date. Dav claimed that the
information in the [[Erra Pater]] came directly from the Lord himself; whether
this was a conversation or merely a series of declarations given to Dav to
share with the world remains unknown. It is only known for certain that
Dav returned from the Springs with the [[Five Declarations|Declarations]], the Laws, and the
Chalice.

Finally, the Lord of the Springs is believed to be essentially ineffable,
beyond human understanding. His presence is often written about as the
divine wellspring and his symbol as the Chalice, or - in larger depictions
- the Fountis (a large fountain pouring from a chalice's top). As such,
humanoid physical representations of the Lord of the Springs are direly avoided as minor
heresy. Likewise, writers are also be careful to avoid direct description
of the Lord or any quotations made by Him. Actors never physically portray
the Lord and limit their actions to speaking off stage; in fact, many
artists who create works centered on the Lord's appearance to King Dav
consult with clergy for guidance on the acceptability of their content.
