Vunde

Vunde is the God of Exploration, Movement, Survival, concerned with the explorers, travelers, and refugees of the world. Most worship of Vunde is intermittent and sparse, given as prayer before embarking on expeditions or sacrifice when those expeditions give out. However, devout worshipers do exist; those who spend their lives on trails and exploring new frontiers or who give to Vunde to keep themselves alive to their next meal. By some, she is also considered the god of consumption, and her most devout worshipers often conclude that exploration is not only of the physical, but of the mental and spiritual.   It is rare to find Kelderci who do not at least give Vunde respect, if not worship, as most Kelderci cultures consider her their patron goddess. Organized churches and religions are rare due to the inherently flighty nature of Vunde's worshipers, but some consider caravans, ships, and taverns to be her holy places. In past, Vunde's divinomancers have been entirely unconcerned with changes in world order, rather using their powers to delve into the most ancient ruins and newest discovered islands, often prompted by Vunde herself.

Holy Books & Codes

Vunde's holy book is "Ruminations of a Life Well Fought", a survival guide and autobiography of the explorer Antonio Supan (and suspected divinomancer), who is generally credited for the discovery of the Great City of SupanĀ , which he named after himself. The work is a three volume piece in which the first volume lays out thoughts on how one should live their life, the second his adventures and conquests, and the third a guide on how one should survive and explore. Most devout worshipers keep a copy of all three volumes handy, but the third volume (often shortened in a separate work named "Third Ruminations") is commonly carried by all explorers and seasoned travelers who wish to keep their wits about them.

Divine Symbols & Sigils

Vunde's symbol is typically shown as a tattoo or scar, as it cannot be removed from one's body by circumstance, and comprises a simple wax candle with a lit wick. Some worshipers see this simplicity as something to exemplify and hold that the minimalistic drawings of such a candle are more correct, while others believe detail and vibrant coloration are important. Most worshipers place the candle on their arms or hands, with the most common space being a scar across the palm or on the dominant shoulder.
