Worship in Western Noefra

Worshiped as the head of the Seasonal Four by wall-builders, heavily worshiped in Wyrmhold. His clergy are the militia heads in the villages and lead in training exercises. They often take the role of administrators. They wear armor whenever possible and are always armed. Offerings are deeds—heads of threatening beasts, weapons taken from foes, etc. His festivals usually involve ritual combat. Unlike Roel Kor’s combats, surrendering is considered bad form, as is any kind of underhanded tactics. Wrestling, running races, and other athletic contests are very common. “The sun sees all” is an admonition to do one’s duty honestly.

The jazuu also worship the sun lord, but focus more on being the best at whatever their task is. Competition of all forms, not just physical competition. The emphasis on duty and honor and honesty are the same.

Religious Precepts

Be loyal to those in authority; those in authority must consider carefully their duty. Meet the enemy head on to prove your faith. Be willing to die before letting the weak suffer. Never betray an oath; live with honor even in the face of deceit. Smite the foe that that threatens your people.
