Known Cults: The Champions of Three Faces
Guiding Philosophy: Panem et Bellum - Two things are good for business and earning coin: bread and circuses; and the greatest circus of all, is war.
Known Lore:
Starvation. Plague. The people of Tirradyn suffered. The year of ceaseless rain. The year of deep Winter, the year without a summer. Few helped. There was no wheat, no rye, no rice. The crops knew only rot and mold. People began to die. They prayed and no one answered. Mortal problems, mortal solutions, they said. So, the mortals waged war between each other for resources. A desperate war to survive. And from this war, from this suffering- the God of Three Faces appeared. The Man of the Bronze Ring. He is there at harvest festivals, in the trade unions and in the labor unions. He is there when blades clash and when money is exchanged.
Origin:
First he came for Tyhir. There is no justice, no retribution in a war such as this. There is only survival- because you cannot fight nature. It simply is. So, he bargained, he fought and he bought the sphere of War. Then he came for the farms: Man's greatest invention the Goddess Ravidya the Illuminator said. They spoke and agreed, Wheat would be his. Last, he saw that the pockets of those who dealt in both these things were lined with gold, but the gold did nothing because when there is nothing, gold is worthless. So their coins turned to dust and he came for Wealth. His power comes from mixing the domains of Ariana's Civilization with those of other gods. Blended with Nevalis's Fertility to create Wheat (agriculture), Sheylynn's Greed to create Wealth (commerce) and Algarath's Destruction to create War.
Tenets:
- Nihil tam munitum quod non expugnari pecunia possit: There is nothing so protected that it cannot be overcome by money.
- The flow of coin is like the flow of war and the abundance of crops: More war, more money; less crops, more money.
- War can be waged with words, with weapons and with wealth. All are forms of war and all can be won if you are skilled enough.
- Coins are coins and wealth is wealth. The two are not the same thing. Wealth is prosperity and coin can�t be eaten.
Symbols, Depictions and Colors:
- a simple bronze ring
- a plain bronze farmers hoe and longsword
Followers, Worship & Relationship with Mortals:
Warriors. Farmers. Merchants. He accepts most because everyone fights their own personal battles and wages their own personal wars. He prefers those who are direct and fight for what they want, work for what they want and take what they want. He despises those who are entitled and put in no effort. His followers often don't even know they are followers. He goes from place to place and plants the seeds of wheat and war to grow in places where wealth is hoarded and the biting resentments of people linger and grow. Those who actively worship him, tend to worship one aspect of him over the others- making them all rather unique to each other depending on which aspect they pick.
Relationship to the Gods:
Kemp is a bit of an outsider among the Gods, but they seem to understand his presence. He is not unliked among them. He tends to keep more to mortals than to Gods, blending in with them and instigating clashes in the background. There were Ikons he despised and took matters into his own hands to show them for what they were.
