Peoni

Peoni is the most popular deity among commoners. She is the patron goddess of healing, agriculture, the poor, and lovers. She requires of her adherents a strict moral code of gentleness and kindness to others but is forgiving of those who transgress. She is most often represented as a young girl with gentle hands worn red from hard work. Peoni is symbolized by any of several spring flowers or the fruits of agriculture. It is said that she prefers white flowers, particularly the daisy.

The Church of Peoni distributes most of its wealth, gathered mainly through donations, among the poor and is always on the verge of bankruptcy. Temples often include houses of healing that are open to anyone of pure heart; patients pay according to their means. Clerics can often be found among the poor and sick, blessing their labors and easing their tasks with boundless comfort.

Ethics

While Peoni is swift to forgive laymen, strict morals are required from her clerics.

Worship

The countryside is dotted with peasant-made shrines to Peoni where adherents can find shelter and hospitality.

Priesthood

Clerics of Peoni change their grab with the season. They wear white in the winter, green in spring, beige in summer, and yellow in autumn.
