Overview
Ethoras is god of light, life, healing, creation, and crops. He is praised in fields, hospitals, homes, and roadside shrines wherever people ask that wounds close, seeds rise, and darkness lose its claim.
Divine Role
Ethoras is said to have shaped the first rays of sun and stars, giving the dead celestial guides and the living warmth, fertility, and growth. His worshipers believe divine light can heal sickness, reveal corruption, and nourish the world.
His true faith is life-giving, restorative, and grateful. Its rituals often occur in fields, gardens, places of natural beauty, and among the sick or injured.
Castell's Broken Light
In Castell, Ethoras' cult has been corrupted into a fanatical inquisition. Zealots persecute those outside their narrow doctrine, turning a god of healing and crops into a symbol of oppression.
The source lore is clear that these inquisitors have lost Ethoras' favor. Their violence is not holy law but a perversion waiting to be confronted by faithful reformers, rebels, and victims.
Campaign Use
- Use Ethoras to separate genuine light from authoritarian certainty.
- Make Castell's inquisition a religious crisis, not proof that Ethoras is cruel.
- Let healing miracles expose who has been harmed by institutions claiming virtue.
