The Other

We'll use this thread to hash out and come up with new facets.

So I'd like to kick this off! With my character in mind, I want to put forth the idea of The Blade as a facet of the Other. Going beyond The Fury and The Rigid in its concentration on battle, The Blade calls its followers to see the art of combat, specifically with bladed weapons, as present in every area of life and the highest form of beauty. To a follower of The Blade, a sword or a bow is simply a tool in their hands in the creation and display of beauty - as close as can be attained - in this life. To them, combat is not simply a path of destruction and chaos, nor a road of rigidity and calculated deathbringing. It is a way of creation, of worship, each follower of The Blade finding their own way of displaying the beauty of The Blade in themselves - be it through the graceful arcs of twin swords or the lethal spinning and jabbing of a double-headed spear. A follower of The Blade does not concentrate on those who fall beneath their strokes, but rather on the act of doing it. Every time they polish, draw or swing their weapon, it is simultaneously a song of praise and an act of devotion to the facet they follow.
The Beauty might be a good name for this too.

I like the Blade as the facet for that. It works nicely.

Does each facet get worshipped differently? How does that work? Do they all grant boons, or just the "magical" ones?

For most worshippers, like worshippers of most gods in D&D worlds, there aren't specific boons or anything like that. In essence, you can treat the facets as Deities from other games.

Methods of worship would vary person to person, but each facet has a set of typical things. For example, for worshippers of the Blade would likely spend some time every day in practicing bladework. Kind of like kata of a sort, feeling and embracing their form of combat. Followers of The Light would rise early to witness the sunrise, regardless of any other activity and tend to wear lighter colors. Things like that.

Good to know!
