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. | 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 Imitation Goddess== | |||
Worshiped as the matron of lies, blind faith, and lost causes- little is known of the woman who calls herself the Imitation Goddess. Currently, she is believed to live somewhere deep within the labyrinthine tenement housing of Ticker Square. She has quickly attracted a small but devoted cult of feverish devotees by plying promises of everything from miraculous cures to escape from the rings. | |||
Her followers divide themselves into two sects. The first, her "White Lies," are self-described knights of the virtues of blind faith and hopeless causes. The second, her "Black Lies", are accused of being little more than secretive mad men, reveling in the act of deception. Paradoxically, the two sects have been known to work together closely in matters of faith. | |||
