Calgici (Cal-gee-chee / Chal-geek-ee)
(a.k.a. Çalgıcı, Chalgici)
Calgici was venerated as the god of song, poetry, and creativity. He represented the whole song rather than just one part, such as the music or lyrics, not just the finished thought, but the whole process that took an idea from its conception to its completion. In the mindset encouraged by the god, life itself was like a song, beginning at birth and ending upon death.
Description
Calgici appeared as a young, charismatic male with shoulder-length golden hair. His clean, handsome good looks were exceeded by a hauntingly beautiful voice. He was shown as dressed in the bright, elegantly patterned clothes with gold jewelry and other eye-catching decorations.Religion
He was predominantly worshiped by musically inclined individuals such as troubadours, bards, and poets. Followers of Calgici were often attractive, sensual, and musically inclined individuals. In addition to their affinity with song and musical instruments, they tended to appreciate good food and wine, and the beauty found in both nature and civilized society. Calgici's holiday was celebrated on the 16th of Sunrisen, on a day refered to as Maestro's Day. This day was frequently celebrated through feasting, dancing, dramatic performances, and songs. These performances were valued for the skill of the performers themselves, with some settlements setting up competitions to celebrate skillful performances. Calgici was worshipped as part of the Circle of Passion, where he was considered the 'reasonable' voice of creative skill in some opposition to the other deities' more wild characters. In contrast, Calgici was viewed as the more creative deity within the Order of the Enlightened. He represented the discovery and dissemination of knowledge through creative means such as song, poetry, and fictitious works.

Life is a song: strive always to make it more beautiful. You must listen to the world around before you can fill it with your own sound.
