Aspects of Destiny, Divination, and Truth

Suggested Deities: Klothys or Savras

Worshipping the Inevitable

Unlike the other aspects, these deities do not need worship to sustain or empower them, and they do not seek out reverence or demand it. By and large, mortals are irrelevant to them, except insofar as they have played a role in tangling the strands of destiny by defying nature’s order.    The lack of understanding of such things as this aspect resides over means it is difficult to pinpoint how one may worship these deities and the lack of a need for worship has led to very few of these followers existing in the first place.  

Common Ideals among These Followers

  • Stewardship. Preservation of the natural order supersedes the needs of civilization. (Neutral)
  • Humility. It is hubris to aspire to a higher place in the natural order than we are given. (Lawful)
  • Vigilance. Those who defy or manipulate destiny are menaces that must be stopped. (Neutral)
  • Fury. The world must be cleansed to make way for a new start. (Chaotic)
  • Protection. When gods or mortals go mad with power, it’s the powerless who suffer, and I mean to keep them safe. (Good)
  • Truth. Seek truth regardless of how terrible it may be. (Neutral or Evil)
  • Honesty. Speak truth even if it hurts others. (Neutral)
  • Knowledge. Seek knowledge for its own sake. (Neutral)
  • Trust. Trust in faith and prophecy. (Lawful or Neutral)
