[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 666712, member: 87"] A lot of work I'll admit, but stats aren't enough. What is the ethos (teachings) of these deities? What are their clerics like? What have they done in the past? What are their planes, or at least the plans of their temples? How are they related to one another? To put it another way, which is more useful to the players... This? or this? [size=3]Tean[/size] The Watching One, Lord of Burning Eyes [b]Symbol:[/b] A twin Sunburst [b]Alignment:[/b] Lawful Good [b]Portfolio:[/b] The Twin Suns, Justice, Duty, Honor, Chivalry [b]Domains:[/b] Law, Good, Sun, Strength, Justice [b]Favored Weapon:[/b] The Longsword [b]The Power[/b] Tean is Lord of the twin suns of Carthasana, which are said by legend to be his burning eyes as they watch the world. He is final judge of the dead that are brought before him by Matacha and Kepho, whose actions he weighs before turning them over to one of those two to do with as they please. He is the patron of duty, honor and chivalry, and the precepts of these have said to have been passed down to mortals from his hand. Tean is depicted as a young man with fire red hair, glowing all white eyes which project beams of light which can part any shadow. His skin is white yet glows with a golden hue. He wields a longsword named in legend as Landrasindrel. His armor, when he chooses to wear such, is made of pure gold. [b]The Ethos[/b] Tean's faithful are ethically and morally unreproachable, save for those who resent its purity. His priests teach that the light of the soul can shine from within if the mind and the body are kept pure. Justice is achieved through obedience to authority, and all just authority is divine in nature so to defy a king is to defy Tean himself. [b]The Clergy[/b] Priests of Tean are found in the larger cities of Telzoa acting as emissaries and advisors to the noble rulers of the island. Paladins act as direct agents for these priests as they are bound by code to defer to these priests before any others. Ceremonial vestments of the priests are white with red skullcaps. Higher priests use gold embroidery of varying degrees of complexity - the degree of which is determined by the rank of the priest. [/QUOTE]
