Small Gods of the City (Local Faiths): Difference between revisions

The Sun in its aspect as a fickle being of perpetual motion and change.  El sprints jubilantly to the horizon each morning, and races the winds across the skies each day, to rest behind the edge of the world each night, nestled in the arms of his gusty lover.  To followers of this flighty faith, the Sun and Sky are one - a divine wedlock of wind and light.  Acolytes of this faith can invoke powers of motion and movement, can quicken feet and summon warm winds.  The adventurous, the capricious, and the free might call this faith their own.

The Sun in its aspect as a being in diaspora, eternally doomed to leave the skies to darkness -- but likewise prophesied to forever return.  The followers of this strange faith congregate when their object of worship has left the sky and plunged the world into night.  They light torches, sing praises, and make a great show of remembering the Sun each night, that it might return to them.  During the day they are at peace, confident in the assurance that their nightly rites have ensured the return of the day.  Acolytes of this faith wield powers of hope and renewal, and through strange signs can banish the undead and sunder dark magic.
