Xochitl

The Luminous Flower

Xochitl is the other sole survivor of her pantheon along with the draconic demi-god Opochtli. She does not place blame on the eldritch or holy deities that have slain her family and still sees the beauty of who they are. She believes in the redemption of all those who seek it and sees the allure in their new path of benevolence. Xochitl is also the goddess of love in all forms but does not value artificial love in the form of lust as that can lead to long-term misery. Her followers have ensured her values even in the architecture of their cities, villages, and even the body paint and tattoos present on their bodies.   Category Church of the Two Matriarchs and Ellyllon Monarchs   Edicts be peaceful, choose and perfect an art, lead by example, see the beauty in all things   Anathema destroy art or allow it to be destroyed, unless saving a life or pursuing greater art; refuse to accept surrender   Areas of Concern art, autumn, beauty, love, and music   Follower Alignments LG, NG, CG

Divine Intercession

When creatures perform pleasing acts, such as spreading beauty, or displeasing actions, such as betraying loved ones, Xochitl may respond accordingly. Source Gods & Magic pg. 45 2.0   Minor Boon: Once, when you roll a failure on a Diplomacy check, you get a critical success instead. Xochitl typically grants this boon only when the Diplomacy check would serve to increase love or offer a chance of redemption.   Moderate Boon: You are inspired to create great works and become a virtuoso at all arts. You gain the Specialty Crafting feat and the Virtuoso Performer feat in all categories of Crafting and Performance.   Major Boon: Your inner beauty and love surround you in an aura. As long as you bear them no ill will, all creatures other than fiends, undead, and mindless creatures start with an attitude of friendly toward you, unless they would have been helpful instead. This doesn’t mean they are willing to change their life or plans for you, and this boon does not prevent their attitudes from worsening if you try to thwart them. This effect doesn’t work against deities and similarly powerful creatures. Additionally, the love you share with your friends inspires them. You and your allies gain a +3 status bonus to saving throws and skill checks as long as you can see each other.   Minor Curse: You heart churns with remorse. Each day, you are sickened 1 as a specific misdeed plays out in your mind over and over in guilt. You can’t remove this condition, though it abates enough for you to quickly eat and drink when necessary. If you make amends or otherwise earnestly pursue redemption for the misdeed, the sickened condition fades completely that day.   Moderate Curse: Others subconsciously recognize your past betrayals. Whenever you attempt a Diplomacy check and roll a failure, you get a critical failure instead, and if you roll a critical success, you get a success instead.   Major Curse: Those who spread misery via false love face Xochitl’s greatest curse. You lose the ability to distinguish any living being from another through appearance, voice, scent, or similar sensory means. You can make out physical size (so you wouldn’t mistake an ant for a horse), but nothing further. If you were merely shallow, every creature you see has generic, bland features, but if your deeds were vile, you see only the faces of those you have wronged.   HeraldGukumatz, a Huge Xiuh Couatl that is green and red   RealmIlhuicatl-Teoiztac, a realm in Ildathach filled with flowers, eternal autumn, beauty, and great fields of maize.
