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 small god, known as "Pitter Peter" is the personification of the nearly endless piles of rubble and trash scattered throughout the City of the Rings. It is a covetous god of hoarding and collecting, and many scumpickers pay it tribute - If only to ensure their own findings are a little better than trash. One of its largest shrines is located on Trash Island. | |||

Most consider this faith as a mere superstition, born from campfire tales and clung to by superstitious thieves and desperados, however there is no denying that the creed seems to have a certain enduring quality about it... | Most consider this faith as a mere superstition, born from campfire tales and clung to by superstitious thieves and desperados, however there is no denying that the creed seems to have a certain enduring quality about it... | ||
