Worship in Western Noefra
250 and before
Worshiped as part of the Seasonal Four among wall-builders, especially by middle-age men and halflings. Offerings involve first-fruits of the harvest, presented to the priest for his blessing and then eaten as part of a festival. Clergy often solemnize marriages and contracts. A common expression in the Sea of Grass region is “sure as the sun in shadow”, meaning certain to occur. Worshiped in Wyrmhold, where the contractual precepts are de-emphasized and the hard work precepts are emphasized.
Religious Precepts
You reap what you sow. In hard work is salvation. Carefully prepare for the upcoming winter. Those that will not work, cannot eat. Make bargains carefully, because you will be judged for failing to follow through. Conformity and consensus are critical.
Worship in Other Areas
Divine Rank
Until 1 Spring Dawning 251 AC, he was a member of the Congregation. On that day, he was deposed for violations of the Law of Divinity (direct intervention with mortals, being defeated in his mortal-plane avatar form). Since then, he has subsisted on residual worship as one of the Ascended Heroes.
