Soleen
Goddess of Duty, Loyalty, and Protection
Soleen is a goddess who instills a sense of duty and community within her followers. Her priests foster loyalty with each other and their followers while protecting those in need.
Soleen temples usually have a statue of the goddess standing before pews while holding a large scale in one hand. She is portrayed as beautiful and strong.
Her temples were once massive and luxurious over all other temples, but have since been destroyed in cataclysmic battles. Now, the Church is working to rebuild their grand temples in multiple cities once more, but it is slow going.
Ceremony: The Weight / The Balance
Many followers perform a simple ceremony of the balance on a weekly (for some daily) basis. This involves arriving at the temple, taking one of the provided stones, and placing the stone on one side of goddess scales that she holds. Most everyone places their stone in the left side, meaning they have failed in their duty or not followed through in being loyal or protecting those around them. These are usually small transgressions, like lying or missing work, but larger sins are also noted. The worshiper then prays for forgiveness before leaving. This leaves stones piling up on the left side of the scale throughout the day that the clergy remove. Rarely, someone might place their stone on the right side. This signifies a huge accomplishment of duty or protection in the eyes of Soleen. It is considered bad form to do this without a great reason. Many followers never feel worthy enough to place their stone on the right side of the scale.
