# [[Church of Sol]] The monotheistic religion of the [[Empire of Light]], follows the tenets of the god [[Sol]], the protector of all civilization. >Leadership: [[Emperor Bahamir II]] >Headquarters: [[Zenithir]] # Creation Myth The foundation of the Church of Sol is the [[The Age of Gods and the Just War|Holy War]] that happened in the Age of Gods, with [[Sol]] coming out victorious and creating the church. ![[The Age of Gods and the Just War#The Age of Gods and the Just War]] # Saints and Viles Despite recognizing [[Sol]] as the only god, the Church recognizes many Saints as divine deities. A Saint is said to be the essence of a dead god or exceptional individual, greatly illuminated by the glory of Sol, and powerful enough to impart divine energy to mortals. Many priests will favor a saint and include them in their prayers and rituals. The Church also recognizes entities as Vile. A Vile entity is opposed to a Saint and said to be undignified and dishonored creatures. Vile entities are not worshipped but loathed and despised. ## List of Deities of the Church of Sol | Deity | Concerns | Cleric Domains | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- | | [[Sol\|Sol Invictus]] | The Sun, civilization, protection, the Auroran Empire. | Light, Order, Life, War | | [[Saint Luna]] | The Moon, family, community, contracts, commerce, the tides. | Light, Order, Life, Peace | | [[Saint Ceren]] | Health, harvest, family, hearth, peace. | Life, Peace, Grave, Nature | | [[Saint Lavernia]] | Passage, travel, crossroads, pranks, traps. | Trickery, Twilight, Nature | | [[Saint Míthrin]] | Arcane magic, mithral, elven communities. | Arcana, Knowledge, War | | [[Cultures/Religion/Deities/Saint Jernod\|Saint Jernod]] | Earth, metals, tunnels, crafts, fire, dwarves. | Forge, Order, War, Knowledge | | [[Saint Daarivux]] | The sky, storms, dragons, chaos magic. | Tempest, War | | [[Vile Abaddon]] | Darkness, chaos, shadows. | Death, War | | [[Vile King Lucius IV]] | Conquest, undeath, necromancy. | Death, Arcana, Order, Light, War | | [[Saint Henric the Fabricator]] | Industry, artifice. | Arcana, Forge | | [[Saint Bartholomew the Finder]] | Safe travel, luck, the lost, quests. | Trickery, Knowledge | | [[Saint Jory the Settler]] | Settlers, travelers, change, the horizon. | Life, Light, Order | | [[Saint Malcolm the Sharer]] | Solidarity, community, equity. | Order, Peace | | [[Saint Francis the King]] | Freedom, justice, the Liberated. | Life, Order, Trickery |
