[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 3113301, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]The New Calendar, Jaeger, and the Honorbound[/B][/COLOR] Jaeger’s death has great religious significance to all of the priests of the [B]Pantheon of the North[/B] but none so much as his own. It was Jaeger that brought about the end of the Divinity War by sacrificing his life force and divine power, to the multiverse, to save all of Harqual from Hiisi’s evil. His former clergy now call themselves the [B]Honorbound[/B] and refer him to as [B]Jaeger the Saint[/B]. As a result of Jaeger’s sacrifice a new, bright star was born in the heavens above Kulan called [B]Jaeger’s Rest[/B]. In honor of Jaeger’s death and sacrifice the second week of his month is celebrated by every faith in the Pantheon as the [B]Time of Honorbound[/B]. Many treaties have been ratified and reworked during this week of celebration and remembrance. This week is also when all the companies of Honorbound gather for the annual rites of passage for new members and to honor those of the company that have fallen over the last year. It is considered blasphemous to miss your companies gathering unless you are a prisoner of a military power that doesn’t worship the pantheon. All faiths of the pantheon will release a Honorbound to be at his gathering. This helps prevent vendettas and blood feuds between the faiths and independent companies. [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]The New Calendar and the Divine Children[/B][/COLOR] Gabriel Stonn was a pious man and was true to the gods of the Pantheon of the North when so many others were not. He honored the gods by naming each of the months for one of the Divine Children that fell during the Divinity War against the [B]Pantheon of Swords[/B]. Thus, the twelve months of the New Calendar are named [U][I]Anon[/I][/U], [U][I]Zealot[/I][/U], [U][I]Sialic[/I][/U], [U][I]Thorn[/I][/U], [U][I]Truce[/I][/U], [U][I]Hansa[/I][/U], [U][I]Hela[/I][/U], [U][I]Seraph[/I][/U], [U][I]Nessus[/I][/U], [U][I]Euphoria[/I][/U], [U][I]Tulle[/I][/U], and [U][I]Jaeger[/I][/U], in that order. (See below for more details on the structure of the New Calendar.) All, but three, of these Children were lost to total oblivion. Jaeger's legacy is noted above in the section on the Honorbound but more details are needed regarding Hansa and Hela. [CODE]Pronouncing the Different Names of the Months Anon (eh-‘nän) Truce (‘trüs) Nessus (‘nes-ahs) Zealot (‘zel-eht) Hansa (‘han(t)-sah, ‘hän-(,)zä) Euphoria (you-‘for-ee-ah) Sialic (si-‘al-ik) Hela (‘hel-ah) Tulle (‘tül) Thorn (‘thό(eh)rn) Seraph (‘ser-ehf) Jaeger (‘yeh-gar)[/CODE] [B]Hansa[/B] was buried under the earth during a battle with Hiisi’s godsons, Deltum and Enduma.

To this day, he struggles to free himself from his underground prison, which causes seasonal earthquakes that plague Harqual. The third week of his month is known as The Shaking due to high number of quakes that occur during that time period. Clerics of Hansa gather in the Twilight Valley during this time to pay homage to their god. [B]Hela’s[/B] tragic tale, of Thera binding Hela's essence to the sea of the [B]Sword Gulf[/B] so that the [B]Peace Goddess[/B] could never rest, is honored during on the first day and last day of her month. Her clergy gather on the shores of the Sword Coast, on the first day, throwing peace blossoms into the sea and singing sad dirges for the release of their goddess.
