Religion
In the Aurorion's golden age, the light and love of many gods across the planes shined upon Aurorion's people. In the fading age of the moon, where perpetual night reigns under the glowing shroud of the Aurora, the old gods have mostly abandoned the lunar metropolis. The peoples that remain predominantly worship
The Undying Trinity. These deities embody the essential forces of survival and wisdom, guiding the people through the endless night of their world.
Astraelis, the Shrouded Flame
Domain: Fire, Light, and Hope
Astraelis is the deity of warmth and guiding light in Aurorion’s eternal night. Depicted as a hooded figure holding a flickering flame, Astraelis’ light is subtle, never blinding, but always present to guide those lost in the darkness. They represent the inner spark of hope and creativity that keeps the people alive through hardship. In ancient temples, sacred braziers burn in Astraelis' honour, and it is believed that their flame can reveal hidden truths. Worshippers seek Astraelis when faced with despair, as the deity’s light is both a literal and spiritual beacon in the darkness.
Nimuel, the Glacial Sentinel
Domain: Vigilance, Protection, and Time
Nimuel is the deity of watchfulness and protection, overseeing the slow, enduring march of time in Aurorion’s long twilight. Unlike Astraelis' vibrant flame, Nimuel’s presence is quiet, calm, and unyielding. They are depicted as a sentinel cloaked in robes resembling the colours of the auroras, ever watchful over the people of the moon. Nimuel embodies endurance, perseverance, and the constant vigilance needed to survive in a world of perpetual night. Nimuel's followers believe that they watch over the settlements, protecting them from unseen dangers lurking in the shadows. Temples to Nimuel are quiet places of reflection, where devotees seek Nimuel's patience and strength in times of trial.
Serava, the Veiled Seer
Domain: Knowledge, Secrets, and the Stars
Serava, the deity of hidden wisdom and ancient mysteries, governs the dreamscapes and unseen truths of Aurorion. They are cloaked in the ever-shifting auroras, their face obscured, their gaze seeing through the veil of time and reality. Serava’s followers seek their cryptic guidance, though Serava's truths are not easily found—one must navigate the labyrinth of visions they offer to uncover the deeper meanings. Serava’s temples are places of quiet reflection, where scholars and mystics search the sky for signs in the stars. They represent the pursuit of knowledge, but also the dangers that come with uncovering the unknown.
The Old Gods
Domain: Any
There are people on Aurorion who still hold to the old gods. Sometimes this worship has been passed down from generation to generation, other times it has been rekindled after discovering a temple to a forgotten god. Any deity from D&D's history, and ones of your own making, may be worshipped, though few others will share your devotion of them, or even knowledge of their exist
