Favored Weapon: Elven Curve-Blade
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Church Moniker: Church of the Laughing God
Obedience: Perform a silent dance for one minute, performing one step per second, not stopping until you achieve 61 steps in one minute or until one hour passes. Do so while holding a blade and miming striking a killing blow with each footstep.
Effect: As an immediate action after successfully striking a creature for damage with a melee weapon or attack, you may vanish from your square and appear in another unoccupied square within 120ft. This square does not need to be within line of sight. Vanishing and appearing in this way does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity, and once used this ability enters cooldown for 1d4-1 rounds or until you reduce a creature below 0HP.

Artifacts

As the faith of The Laughing God is so secretive and monolithic, it has long stood impermeable to outsiders - meaning any artifacts of the faith are unknown.

Tenets of Faith

Never operate as expected. Approach your problems from every direction except the one you are expected to.

Unity and Loyalty. Remain loyal to my teachings and ensure others do the same. A house divided cannot stand.

Silence, Guile, and Wit. Move unseen, Act Unheard, Deceive without hesitation, and above all - laugh. Reality is a joke without a punchline.

Life is art. Be creative, Be Innovative, and immerse yourself in the arts. Never let a work of art be destroyed or suppressed unless greater art will arise from its loss.

Death is no different. Each strike must be beautiful, and each death elegant and swift; a masterpiece in its own right. An ugly fight is one unworthy of your time.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Protect the Elven People, and lead all those who would seek to penetrate the Plantfort on an endless chase.

We will be the last and most beautiful thing many shall see.
