Ravanma
the Eclipse Tyrant
Description
Ravanma is depicted as a shadowy figure with a twisted, eclipse-shaped crown, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly malevolence. They are often shown wielding Sangvar Day, a scimitar that harnesses the power of solar eclipses to drive its victims into madness. Ravanma's presence is suffused with an aura of corruption and discord, leaving a trail of insanity in their wake. Ravanma's followers believe that eclipses are moments when the boundaries between realities weaken, allowing glimpses into the true nature of existence. They view madness as a form of enlightenment, enabling them to perceive the underlying chaos of the cosmos. Eclipse Cultists often engage in acts of madness to prove their devotion, from self-mutilation to inducing insanity in others.Worship and Temples
Temples dedicated to Ravanma are constructed in locations where solar eclipses are visible. Worshipers engage in elaborate rituals during eclipses, believing that these celestial events strengthen Ravanma's influence. Sacrifices, often of the mentally unstable, are made to appease the Eclipse Tyrant.Clergy and Codes of Conduct
Ravanma's clergy, known as Eclipse Cultists, are drawn to the madness that accompanies eclipses. They are chaotic and unpredictable, often channeling their god's powers to spread confusion and madness among their enemies. Eclipse Cultists are skilled in illusion magic and use it to create disturbing visions and warp reality.Tenets of Faith
Embrace the Eclipse: Solar eclipses are our sacred moments. Embrace the darkness that blots out the sun, for within it lies the true nature of reality.
Spread Madness: Madness is not a curse but a gift. Through madness, we see the world for what it truly is. Spread chaos and confusion, driving others to the brink of sanity.
Corrupt the Light: Light is deceptive, hiding the true horrors of existence. Corrupt the purity of light, revealing the shadows that lie beneath its surface.
Cherish the Insane: The mad are our chosen ones. Cherish and protect them, for they have glimpsed the maddening truths that elude the sane.
Eclipse Ascendancy: Seek to attain the power of eclipses. Through rituals and sacrifice, draw power from celestial events, becoming vessels of Ravanma's chaotic influence.
