Cardia - The All-Caring
Cardia, the All-Caring, was the goddess of Love and Hearth in human society. She was known as the Bride of Amagus and "The Red Lady".
Mythology
Cardia was not originally a goddess that the race of men believed in. She made her appearance in the pantheon of the All-Divine when men finally conquered dragons. As the mythology tells, Amagus noticed the cruelty of men in their wars and his knowledge showed they could only survive if they showed mercy. As such, Amagus bore pain upon himself and removed his own heart, forming his bride, Cardia. From Amagus' blood, Cardia formed her own angels to be in her service. However, a group of angels, led by Lilith, rebelled against Cardia to embrace an existence of lust and hedonism. They were cast out of the Celestial Plane, being thrown into the abyss to become demons called Lilans (or, Succubi and Incubi). Now, the clerics of Cardia do the goddess' bidding instead on the material world, hoping to spread acts of mercy and joy instead of selfishness and lust.Divine Domains

Tenets of Faith
- Motherhood is to be respected. If a mother is a widow, give her a gift of coin. Respect mothers and fathers, for they are the ones who brought you into this world.
- A brother or sister is greater than a friend. If you harm a sibling, pay twice the retribution you would a friend.
- Display acts of mercy to those who hate you or have mistreated you.
- Do not harm the unborn, for they are innocent in the eyes of the gods.
- Children are precious, yet stubborn. Do not spare punishment or consequences, for it is the only way for them to learn love.
- If a neighbor's house has been robbed, give them 10% of your wealth out of mercy.
- Heal the sick, if it is in your power.
- Bury your dead, for the world needs to be clean. Leave the dead to rest, and do not disturb their bodies.
