Nevel
Nevel, a whirlwind of inspiration, forever dances through countless ballads. She embodies the archetype of the free-spirited ingenue, a muse who has captivated poets, songwriters, and all those who cherish the joys and wonders of a life lived with carefree abandon. Unbound by the trivialities of everyday life, Nevel visits her most dedicated followers in dreams, offering a silent lesson: most grievances are fleeting and not worth fretting over.
Nevel was once a prominent deity in Menedynn Pantheon and is mentioned even today by many of the old belief.. Her demise, a shocking revelation only discovered in 533 AB, is believed to be connected to Ashmedai, the King of Devils. Ashmedai attempted to steal Nevel's essence, but ultimately realized that directly controlling her power was beyond his grasp.
The truth was that the Old Ansko Empire that siphoned her powers and while Ashmedai was not the primary suspect, he was a contributer to that.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Clergy, Temples and Worshippers
The clergy of Nevel (known as the Revelers) are an eccentric bunch. While some might appear frivolously flirtatious, and others border on playful hedonism, all share a genuine good heart and an unwavering devotion to spreading joy. Theirs is a faith expressed through energetic movement – their rigorous routines result in some of the most physically fit individuals in Rakion. Nevel's temples raise funds through extravagant galas, then redistribute them in seemingly whimsical ways. They might sponsor public beautification projects, throw surprise parties for downtrodden citizens, or use the funds for spontaneous acts of kindness. The Revelers are particularly popular in easygoing, civilized regions, where their lighthearted approach finds ready acceptance. However, in harsher lands or oppressive societies where frivolity is seen as weakness, their religion faces suppression. Undeterred, and driven by an insatiable curiosity, the Revelers are drawn to these very locations. They believe a well-timed jog or a beautiful song can bring a spark of joy even in the darkest places.Rituals
Revelers greet the dawning sun with vibrant energy, viewing each sunrise as a fresh opportunity for joy. Their devotion to the Mistress of the Revels manifests in daily prayers and an unwavering belief in the power of merriment. Most holidays, beyond those dedicated to dark deities, are occasions for celebration. The Revelers mark their most sacred celebrations with a ritual called "Uncrossed Blades". This involves taking two or more weapons, symbolically laying them down any past conflicts, and intertwining them with colorful ribbons or fragrant flowers. The entwined weapons are then buried, signifying a commitment to peace and harmony as they celebrate.Tenets of Faith
- Every day is a step in the joyous dance of existence. Embrace life's pleasures and strive for fulfillment without succumbing to worry or negativity.
- Actively seek opportunities to bring happiness to others. Your own joy grows brighter when reflected in the smiles of those around you.
- All are welcome in our festivities. Let the lost, the lonely, the ostracized, and even your adversaries find solace and merriment in our shared revelry.
- Encourage others to pursue their own paths and passions. Never let societal constraints or fear hinder your pursuit of personal joy.
