A celestial roll call, as required by Church mandate.

As a Reader of the Church of the Prophet, it is my solemn and entirely voluntary duty (under no pressure whatsoever) to document the divine figures that shape our world.

The pantheon of Elandaru is vast, varied, and vaguely organized. Known collectively as ‘The Seven and The Three’, these are the entities said to guide fate, wield elemental forces, and occasionally meddle in mortal affairs for reasons known only to themselves.

What follows is a catalog of deities and their domains, along with a polite attempt at summarizing their divine behaviors, philosophical priorities, and general attitude toward mortal inquiries.

Chief among them, of course, is The Prophet—light of truth, voice of the divine, and central figure of the Church. I am, of course, duty-bound to speak of the Prophet with reverence, awe, and absolute sincerity. Which I absolutely am doing. Right now.

The rest? They cover everything from healing and harvest to war, luck, knowledge, and those unsettling corners of the cosmos best left unexplored. Some are worshipped in temples of radiant light; others get their offerings behind closed doors, usually at night, usually with whispered apologies.

As for which ones are “good” or “less good,” well… that often depends on your personal outlook, who ruined your morning, or how pointedly you’d like to draw divine attention to your employer during a staff meeting. Morality, much like prophecy, is all about interpretation.

Churches and other holy buildings devoted to particular deities are often found within cities are large towns, Dawnsheart, for example, is home to the Church of the Prophet. In other locations it is not uncommon to find a shrine with dedicated sections to all ten figures. There are in fact small alters to all the others in the Church of the Prophet.

THE SEVEN

---

1. All Wounds Deserve Healing – No life is too small or unworthy of aid. To heal is to honor Theraphis.
2. Compassion Above All – Mercy and kindness must be extended even to those who have strayed, for healing the soul is just as vital as healing the body.
3. Prevention is the Greatest Cure – A healer’s duty is not just to mend, but to teach and prevent harm before it can take root.
4. Suffering Should Not Be Ignored – Where pain and illness fester, the devoted of Theraphis must bring relief.
5. Balance the Body, Mind, and Spirit – True healing comes from treating all aspects of being. Neglecting one leads to imbalance.
6. The Art of Healing is Ever-Growing – To stagnate is to fail. Seek new remedies, refine old knowledge, and continue learning the secrets of restoration.
7. A Caregiver’s Strength is in Their Resolve – Healers must not falter in the face of despair. Hope must be carried even in the darkest of times.

1. Life is Sacred – All living things carry the spark of creation within them. To heal, to nurture, and to protect life is the greatest devotion.
2. Create, Do Not Destroy – Whether through art, invention, or cultivation, the act of creation is divine. To create is to honor Elaris.
3. Balance in Growth – As the seasons turn, so too must life. Death feeds new beginnings, and nothing must be hoarded at the expense of renewal.
4. The Touch of Life is a Gift – Healing is an act of love. Those with the power to mend flesh, minds, or souls must do so freely.
5. The First Breath is Holy – The birth of new life is a sacred moment, and those who aid in it are blessed.
6. Tend to the Roots – Whether in soil, society, or spirit, that which is nurtured grows strong. Neglect leads to withering.
7. The Cycle is to be Respected – Death is not an end, but a transformation. To fight against nature’s course is to defy Elaris’ design.

1. Strength Through Creation – To forge is to bring strength into the world. Whether shaping steel, crafting armor, or designing wonders, all acts of creation are sacred.
2. Perfection is Found in Persistence – A broken blade can be reforged stronger than before. Failure is merely an imperfection waiting to be corrected through patience and skill.
3. Respect the Tools of the Trade – The hammer, the chisel, the fire—all are gifts of Bragmire. To misuse or neglect one’s tools is an insult to the Forgefather.
4. Temper Passion with Wisdom – Fire may shape steel, but uncontrolled flame consumes all. Let discipline guide your hands, and let your work speak of your devotion.
5. Honor the Masters and Teach the Apprentices – Knowledge is as valuable as gold. Learn from those who came before, and share your wisdom with those who follow.
6. The Forge is Sacred – Any place of creation, be it a smithy, a workshop, or a place of invention, is holy ground. Keep it well, and it shall provide for you.
7. Steel Bows to No Lies – Just as metal must be tested for impurities, so too must one’s words and actions. Be honest, for truth is as enduring as iron.

1. Seek Knowledge Endlessly – Curiosity is sacred. Always question, always explore, and always seek truth.
2. Ignorance is the True Enemy – Fear and misunderstanding breed darkness; knowledge brings enlightenment.
3. Preserve the Written and the Spoken – Words hold power, and wisdom must be recorded for future generations.
4. Share Knowledge Freely – Knowledge is a flame meant to be passed from mind to mind, not hoarded.
5. Challenge Falsehoods – Lies and deception are the antithesis of learning. Let truth shine above all.
6. Adapt and Evolve – Stagnation is the death of wisdom. Be willing to change and grow as new truths emerge.
7. The World is a Library – Every place, every person, and every moment is a chance to learn something new.

1. Light Guides, Never Blinds – True wisdom does not force itself upon others, but gently illuminates the path.
2. Forgiveness is Strength – To forgive is to release the burdens of the past, allowing renewal and growth.
3. Brevity in Words, Depth in Meaning – Speak with purpose, listen with care; understanding is born in thoughtful exchange.
4. Compassion Over Judgment – Seek to understand before condemning, for all have walked difficult paths.
5. Illuminate the Path of Others – Knowledge and kindness are meant to be shared, bringing clarity to those lost in darkness.
6. Dawn Follows the Darkest Night – No hardship is permanent; hope must be carried even when the way forward is unclear.
7. All Voices Deserve to be Heard – True peace is built on listening and learning from one another.

1. The Future is Written in the Light – Seek meaning in the revelations granted by the Prophet Rock, for they illuminate the path ahead.
2. Interpretation is the Key to Wisdom – True vision comes not only from sight but from understanding; to see the signs is one thing, to understand them is divine.
3. Time Moves as it Must – Fate is inevitable; resist not the course of destiny but learn from it and walk your path with purpose.
4. Illuminate the Shadows of the Unknown – Share the truth of prophecies so others may prepare, for knowledge unshared is knowledge wasted.
5. Honor the Solstice’s Revelations – The annual illumination of the Prophet Rock is sacred, and its messages must be preserved and interpreted with care.
6. Guide Those Who Seek Answers – A true follower of the Prophet aids others in deciphering their paths, offering wisdom but never forcing fate’s hand.
7. Trust in the Unseen Threads – Even when the meaning is unclear, faith in the Prophet shall lead the way, for all things unfold in their time.

1. Laughter is Sacred – Joy is a gift; spread it whenever possible and never take life too seriously.
2. Luck Favors the Bold – Those who dare, win. Do not fear risk, for chance is the spice of existence.
3. Play is a Path to Wisdom – Lessons learned in games and lighthearted jest are just as valuable as those from books.
4. Trickery Without Cruelty – A well-placed joke can mend wounds, but cruelty in jest is a betrayal of joy.
5. The Innocence of Wonder – Approach the world with the eyes of a child; curiosity and mischief are divine.
6. Fortune is Ever-Spinning – No one stays lucky forever; enjoy the highs, endure the lows, and never stop playing.
7. Celebrate Every Moment – Every day is a gift, and every gathering is an opportunity for merriment and camaraderie.
