Captiel/Carnival

King of the Dance

The Fledgling God, the Lord of Time, Lord of Tears, Monarch of the Moon, Count of Magic, Star of the North, Forest Lord, Peasant King, Orphan Lord, and King of Temperance are titles given to the young son of Mava. His mother's maddening multiple personalities passed on to him and so he too has multiple personas and personalities to encompass this trait. He has the tendency to switch between two different personas depending on who worships him.   His other persona is the Prince of Clowns, the King of Comedy, Lord of Dances, Music Lord, the King of Parties, the Brew Lord, Breaker of Chains, Avatar of Chaos, Time Lord, Lord of the Forests, King of Beauty, Monarch of the mentally ill and mad, and Lord of Broken Glass, Carnival. Carnival tends to sow the seeds of chaos and discord upon those that bring tyranny and corruption wherever they go. Carnival also seems to be the only God capable of discerning the future, and he almost never tells the truth as he would wish for it to be multiple choice.   He is worshipped as the sole deity of the Yadan(Tiefling) due to his inclination to the downtrodden and poor of the world of Tenebra in their religion of the Church of Carnival as well as Carnival's own personal connection with his mixed infernal heritage.   Category Pantheon of the Black Star   Edicts aid fellow travelers, explore new places, express yourself through art and song, find what life has to offer, drink, free slaves and aid the oppressed, seek glory and adventure   Anathema cause fear or despair, cast nightmare or use similar magic to corrupt dreams, engage in bigoted behavior, waste alcohol, be mean or standoffish when drunk, own a slave   Areas of Concern dreams, luck, stars, travelers, ale, bravery, freedom, and all alcohol   Follower Alignments NG, CG, CN, N

Divine Intercession

Carnival/Captiel favors those who follow their hearts and whims without bringing harm to others. Source Gods & Magic pg. 21 2.0   Minor Boon: For those at the end of a journey, Carnival/Captiel gifts a deep sleep. Once, after you rest, you completely recover all Hit Points, remove all negative conditions, and become free of any curses or diseases.   Moderate Boon: Carnival/Captiel twists fortune in your favor. Once per day, after determining the result of a check, you can reroll the check and take the new result.   Major Boon: Carnival/Captiel bestows you with a swirling cloud of lights that forms a pair of wondrous owl wings. These wings grant you a fly Speed of 40 feet and shine dim light to a range of 20 feet.     Minor Curse: You always seem to lose your way or have strange mishaps on the road that delay your travel. You (and thus any group that travels with you) travel at only 3/4 normal exploration Speed, before taking into account the terrain and other features that might slow you down further.   Moderate Curse: Misfortune follows you in your travels and requires acts of contrition or benevolence to keep at bay. You must always roll twice and take the worst result when attempting a check. This is a misfortune effect. You can express your remorse and ignore this effect for 1d4 rounds by spending an action, which has the concentrate trait. If you perform a truly selfless act of compassion, you ignore this effect for 1 day.   Major Curse: The stars rebuke you for your ways. You are sickened 4 and slowed 1 whenever you are exposed to starlight.

Personal history

Carnival was begat from a forced union between Adrammelech: Mary Garcia and Mava. He was, however, not born until the end of the war which occurred many years later. It was after his birth that he aided in the foundation of the Holy Republic of Drukalsteim and the union between the Dark Elves and the Dwarves was forever solidified in palladium. He has continued his crusade of peace and hope throughout the world in various endeavors and through his agents and prophets. He keeps his dual personas seperate not due to madness but due to his own continuing manic behavior.   In 1262 E.D. his second mother, Adrammelech, appeared when he tried to warn his prophet, John Webber, of Adrammelech's lies. He failed and was forced to combine both of his personas into one singular entity. This gave him immense agony but paled in comparison to when his Prophet would forsake Carnival and the entire Yadan species as well as ascend to Demon Princedom just a couple of months later.
