<p>This pantheon is widespread across the Inner Sea region, finding adherents among all those who must labor daily, whether in field or forge, city or farm, logging camp or caravan oasis. Such laborers seek strength in all its many forms. They look to Kurgess, the Strong Man, who was once a laborer himself, for aid in using their full potential, seeking to better themselves and encouraging others to strive toward their own potential, no matter their work. From Torag, they take the strength to be honorable and forthright and keep their word. And they look to Cayden Cailean not just for the strength to truly enjoy themselves when not working, but also to aid the oppressed. Recently, a small but growing number of followers, especially near Mzali, have been including Tlehar, too, as they seek the mental fortitude to give their best even as they hope each day will be better than the last. You'll find that these laborers won't cheat at honorable contests, swindle you, intentionally make anything subpar, or be mean or standoffish when drunk. Their religious observances tend to be frequent and regular but not at all fussy or lengthy. Ceremonies always seem to include food, drink, and games afterwards-or perhaps as part of the observances themselves. Followers of the Laborer's Bastion clearly place more value in companionship and reassurance of their faith than in following a formal script and getting all the rituals right. Personally, I feel at ease whenever I see their religious symbol-a mug and hammer on a sunburst background-as I know I'm among trustworthy, honest folk... even if we don't share a language or the same idea of what constitutes a decent breakfast.</p>

	entries.Milani.description	<p>Milani is the patron mother of those who war against oppression. Once a saint of Aroden's faith, she rewards those willing to sacrifice their lives and use whatever tools are available to fight for those who cannot defend themselves, especially people who have been captured or enslaved. Throughout Golarion, Milani is also known as the Everbloom, as the symbol of her church is a beautiful rose growing from blood-soaked soil.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Everbloom</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> devotion, hope, uprisings</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> confront oppression in all its forms, defend the common folk, overcome despair to sieve victory</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> abandon those in need, enslave or oppress others, harm the innocent through direct or inadvertent action</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> rose on bloody street</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> mouse</p> <p><strong>Sacred Color</strong> red, white</p>

	entries.Stag Mother of the Forest of Stones.description	<p>The Stag Mother of the Forest of Stones is quite possibly the oldest surviving spirit guide left in existence, certainly the oldest still actively worshipped in Sarkoris today. Long ago, she was the premier spirit worshipped in the region of Sarkoris known as the Stonewilds, and the druids of the Circle of Hierophants (or their distant predecessors) erected stone menhirs as monuments depicting the Stag Mother and her fellow spirit guides guiding and protecting the people of the region. When the Worldwound opened and demons poured forth, the Stag Mother gathered many Sarkorians to safety in her demesne, a region of the Stonewilds known as the Forest of Stones. Between the Stag Mother's godly power and the might of the lesser spirit guides that gathered under her banner, the Forest of Stones may have stood as a bastion of nature capable of withstanding even the unprecedented demonic incursion, but sadly a group of druids in the region lost faith in their long-time protectors. When the horrific perversions of druidic faith known as the Stonewild Sect transformed themselves into undead, their twisted power spread through the bonds some shared with the spirit guides, killing many of the weaker guides instantly and transforming others into dark mockeries of their former selves. In despair, the Stag Mother retreated far from the front lines of the battle, sheltering a precious few. While her worship has once again begun to spread beyond her forest home, the Stag Mother's trust of her human worshippers has been deeply undermined, and she demands that the spirit guides who live within her dominion do not form bonds with mortals or accept new god callers without her express permission.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> She Who Listens</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Druids, motherhood, sacred nature</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Act as a responsible steward of your environment, provide shelter and succor for women and children in need</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Harm a pregnant mother or innocent child, including animals</p>

	entries.Grandmother Spider.description	<p>Also known as Nana Anadi, Grandmother Spider began her existence as a servant of the other gods, meant to weave fate and reality into existence. Infuriated at her position as a lackey, she made fools of the greater gods through mischief and disruption. She stole and copied Asmodeus' keys, resulting in widespread chaos, and pilfered some of Sarenrae's fire, leading numerous followers astray. Nimbly avoiding any retribution for her antics, Grandmother Spider rewove the strands of fate for herself, gaining her freedom. She regularly pleads with her brother Achaekek to follow her lead and rebel against the gods, and while he always refuses, seemingly indifferent, Achaekek has on one notable occasion proven vengeful toward those who harm his sister or her followers.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Weaver</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> family, illusion, stories, twilight, weaving</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> be skilled and clever, think for yourself, take due payment for your work, humiliate the powerful</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> abuse someone you have power over, harm someone who has given you sincere kindness, let a slight go unanswered, own a slave</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> four-pointed hollow webbed diamond</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> spider</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> blue, orange, yellow</p>

	entries.Cihua Coatl.description	<p>Cihua Coatl (SEE-wah coh-AHtl) is a dualistic coatl god. They support all those who defend others in the name of righteous causes. Their typical appearance is that of two coatls sharing a single body. One of these is a tletli coatl, powerful coatls known for their destructive might and righteous fury, while the other is a chicome coatl, coatls known for their ability to restore nature in areas that have been ravaged by evil. While Cihua Coatl has two distinct heads and tails, they share a pair of arms, with one holding a spear and the other a shield. Cihua Coatl teaches that conflict is inevitable, and one must be ready to defend others when such conflicts arise. The spear and shield represent the dualistic aspects of these teachings. The spear is the symbol of might: one can fight back in times of conflict, standing between aggressors and the innocent. The shield is the symbol of protection: caring for others is something that occurs at all times, not just during conflict. A follower can help others by offering services and kindness to their community.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The War Children</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Childbirth, protection, warfare</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Aid in the rearing of children; prepare your body, mind, and community for eventual conflict; support your community</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Engage in mindless war, refuse to answer a genuine plea for protection</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> two coatls consuming each other’s tails with their wings overlapping in the center</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> armadillo</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> gold</p>

	entries.Walkena.description	<p>In the city-state of Mzali in the Mwangi Expanse resides an undead being of immense power, a child-sized god-king. In the past, Walkena was a mortal descendant of the gods that ruled over Mzali in ancient times, one of the sun kings from an old empire and a golden age of the city. Ages later, his preserved body was found by members of the Council of Mwanyisa, who ruled Mzali at that time. Believing him to be an omen of the city's impending resurgence, the council took him to put him on display in Mzali. When an army from the Sargavan city of Kalabuto attacked the city, Walkena awoke-this time as an undead creature-and slew each of the invaders in a purging rain of fire.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The God-King</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Mzali, nationalism, reverence</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Uphold Mzali's laws, tend to Walkena and obey his instructions, oppose exploitation of the Mwangi Expanse</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Consort or trade with non-Mwangi peoples, defy Walkena's orders</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> Lion-faced sun shining on Walkena</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> lion</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> red, gold</p>

	entries.Moloch.description	<p>The general of Hell's armies, Moloch, embodies infernal discipline and incomparable destructive power. Across his ream of Malebolge, the sixth layer of Hell, the Ashen Bull trains countless legions of devils to wage unending war. He not only teaches obedience, he demands it, punishing every slightest misstep or insurrection with immediate, fiery retribution. Despite his harsh nature, Moloch is the most widely worshipped of the archdevils among mortals, as he is the most likely to answer supplicants' mundane pleas. In exchange, he asks only their souls to add to his endless armies—a price many are willing to pay.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Ashen Bull</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Fire, obedience, war</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Spread Hell's order through war, convert communities to sole worship of Moloch, sacrifice creatures in fire</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Defy a military superior, flee in battle (unless ordered to do so), lose your combat edge due to your vices</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> bull’s head with flame</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> bull</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> orange, yellow</p>

	entries.The Spirit Wall.description	<p>As crusaders, naturalists, and descendants of Old Sarkoris struggle to reclaim the demon-haunted lands of what was the Worldwound, they turn to the Boundary of Strength for divine assistance in holding their territorial gains. The densest concentration of this covenant's worshippers resides in the town of Gundrun, the only stable settlement during the demonic occupation. Generally practical people, devotees care less about the nature of the Boundary of Strength than its effectiveness. This covenant is frequently invoked by night guards on patrol and those attempting to cleanse, salvage, or study the <em>wardstones</em> that remain scattered around the Sarkoris Scar.</p> <p><strong>Covenant Members</strong> Dolok Darkfur, Kagia, Stag Mother of the Forest of Stones, stone elementals</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> boundaries, containment, guardianship</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> establish and protect your personal territory, punish trespassers, safeguard lawful visitors</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> abandon a guard post, cede territory to an invader</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> stone wall</p>

	entries.Ragathiel.description	<p>The General of Vengeance presides over chivalry, duty, and vengeance, acting as the quintessential knight. Born of the archdevil Dispater and Feronia, a demigoddess of fire, Ragathiel struggles to overcome the reputation of his parentage, and he understands the struggle to be accepted, to be trusted, and to fight against his own nature for the sake of good. He represents strength in battle, wrath upon the wicked, absolution or vengeance for the wronged, leadership when needed, and virtue and duty to the innocent. He expects his followers to destroy fiends when they find them and to work toward truly earning the trust and acceptance of those around them. Those who follow him lead by shining example and can be found on the front lines of battle or any conflict against evil they can find.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> General of Vengeance</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Chivalry, duty, vengeance</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Avenge the wronged, destroy evildoers, lead the charge in battle</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Cower from combat, forgive those who have irreparably sinned, leave allies unwillingly in darkness</p>

	entries.Kagia.description	<p>Kagia takes the form of a hulking bear with two vulture heads. Though not a true deity, he is likely the closest among living spirit guides to claiming that ascendance. His half-brother, Dolok Darkfur, is also a contender, but Dolok's long period of inactivity has likely left the feathered bear with a smaller number of mortal followers and less interest in growing his spiritual power. As the only child ever born to Bear and Vulture (whose relationship lasted only a few mortal generations when clans they protected regularly intermarried), Kagia possesses immense physical power. Though he is easily roused to anger, the burly deity is most concerned with the collection of resources and their efficient use. Berry picking is sacred to him, and artisans work his image into the bottom of finely woven baskets in hopes of a bountiful harvest. His worshippers value self-sufficiency, and avoid wearying Kagia with petty requests, lest he drop into a torpor and leave them undefended. Priests of Kagia handle the interning of the dead, and they gather and redistribute the belongings of the deceased in a way that benefits the clan as a whole.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> He Gathers In</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Efficiency, harvests, resourcefulness</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Dispose of the dead, take appropriate time to rest, sustainably harvest resources</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Kill for pleasure or glory, waste resources</p>

	entries.Sorrow's Sword.description	<p>Sorrow's Sword gained a large following among the Crimson Reclaimers because of the pantheon's focus on duty, sacrifice, and channeling the pain of past losses into motivation to overcome any future obstacle. The two principal deities are Ragathiel (General of Vengeance), who brings his devotion to duty and revenge, and Vildeis (The Cardinal Martyr), who believes that evil should be destroyed at all costs—even self-sacrifice. For the Crimson Reclaimers, this means never forgetting the pain and trauma caused by the Whispering Tyrant in Lastwall, and channeling that grief into fuel for righteous revenge. Beyond these two major divine influences, three other deities represent values the followers of the pantheon hold dear. Gorum (Our Lord in Iron) preaches strength and victory in battle. Iomedae (The Inheritor) led the charge on many successful attacks against Tar-Baphon, so it's only natural that her legendary deeds, and sense of honor, justice, and valor speak to followers of Sorrow's Sword. Many consider Arazni (The Unyielding) to be a strong part of this pantheon, due to her edict to survive at all costs and her abhorrence for the creation of unwilling undead. Arazni's inclusion is complicated by Vildeis and Ragathiel's feelings about evil, which is why Arazni is not an official member of the pantheon among all followers.</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> vengeance, reclaiming lost homelands, drawing strength from sorrow</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> avenge the wronged, destroy evildoers, lead the charge in battle, remember your community's history</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> cower from combat, forgive those who have committed grave offenses, abandon or deceive allies</p>

	entries.Adanye.description	<p>Legend holds that the amurruns-known as catfolk to others-were created as guardians against threats to home, nature, and the world at large. While the goddess Adanye is not considered to be their creator, she is said to have mentored these first guardians, teaching them the skills necessary to protect and defend, both in combat and in careful interaction with others. She also taught the importance of what they protected, identifying the hearth and the home, as well as the right to self-determination and to solitude, as worthy of defense. She is said to have instilled in the amurruns their need for solitude and their esteem of imagination. A master teacher, she is depicted as a graying catfolk woman or a cat by the hearth fire, her large, gentle eyes full of wisdom.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Warmth of the Hearth</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Hearth, imagination, protection, solitude</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Keep your counsel, follow your heart, appreciate a warm hearth, defend those who welcome you into their home</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Force anyone into drudgery or mindless work, deny support to loved ones, surrender when escape is an option, destroy a place that has given you shelter</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> burning paw</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> cat</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> red, gold</p>

	entries.The Devourer.description	<p>The Devourer is a new deity: an embodiment of ruin on a galactic scale, born from the acts of other deities in ages long past. Thanks to Gorum and Torag, a sliver of the deity Rovagug was bound inside Gorum's armor, turning the deity of war into an eternal prison for the Rough Beast. Inside Gorum, the sliver festered, changing and warping into something new. Following the events of the Godsrain and Gorum's demise, the sliver managed to escape its prison and ascend into the cosmos as its own being, the Devourer.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Star-Eater</p> <p><strong>Areas Of Concern</strong> black holes, cosmic-scale destruction, supernovas</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> engage in acts of destruction, kill sentient beings, tear down civilizations</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> repair an object that won't inflict greater destruction; create new technology, magic, or life without a destructive purpose</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> blood accretion (black hole tinged with red)</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> none</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> black, red</p>

	entries.The Divine Dare.description	<p>Just as a group of rowdy friends may throw outlandish challenges at each other around a campfire or tavern table, the gods of the Divine Dare urge each other, and their followers, into performing daring acts that most would quail at. Kurgess favors dares for athletic prowess that push competitors to their utmost ability. The empyreal lord Marishi's festivals are frequent gathering places for worshippers of the entire pantheon, and many a friendly wager is exchanged over games of chance and tests of skill. Jin Li encourages all to persevere through risky challenges with strength and creativity. Cayden Cailean blesses any challenge that will lead to glory and adventure.</p> <p>The gods of the Divine Dare indulge a healthy amount of boasting before, during, and after a trial, but they also encourage a spirit of good sportsmanship and camaraderie whether a dare is successful or not. The element of danger and the possibility of failure are always present in the most thrilling dares, and worshippers of the Divine Dare go out of their way to heal, comfort, and rehabilitate people who have been injured in such competitions.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> boast of your daring deeds, participate in competitions, revel in taking risks</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> cheat in an honest competition, let others take credit for your accomplishments, refuse a non-fatal challenge</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> competition, derring-do, and self-realization</p> <p><strong>Pantheon Members</strong> Cayden Cailean, Jin Li, Kurgess, Marishi</p>

	entries.The Endless Road.description	<p>Followers of the Endless Road pantheon are encouraged to pursue their personal journeys, to see the larger world, and to gain a more balanced perspective. If they have not found a community to call their own at the end of their traveling days, they are encouraged to pass on their knowledge for future generations. Whether this means creating their own community, writing a series of tomes, or creating works of art, they must pass on what they've learned as best they can. Followers pray to Desna (The Song of the Spheres) to bless their overland travels from her home in the stars, and to Gozreh (The Wind and the Waves) not only to help them travel over the seas and through the wilderness, but to do so without disrupting the gentle balance of nature. Finally, they call upon Gruhastha (The Keeper) for the strength needed to pursue a journey of personal exploration and self-improvement despite challenges along the way.</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> travel, preaching, self-improvement, recruiting</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> see the world to find your place in it, seek common bonds, share community histories</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> close your ears and heart to others, do not seek to better yourself, resist the call to explore new places</p>

	entries.The Enlightened Scholar's Path.description	<p>This broad and erudite pantheon is a favorite in universities and academies across the Inner Sea. Its adherents unite the optimism and art of Shelyn with the vast knowledge of Thoth to inspire their investigations and writings of artistic, scientific, historical, and magical knowledge. They look to Andoletta, Grandmother Crow, for aid in teaching and instilling knowledge and virtue as well as to Likha to support their efforts to teach (especially with a wide historical perspective), perform plays, and organize recitals and lectures in the name of learning.</p> <p>They appeal to Soralyon for protection, particularly of historical buildings, monuments, artifacts, and their study of such things. For especially thorny problems and for help in devising new solutions from their research, they turn to the Zohls, the embodiment of Verity. Religious ceremonies tend to be full of pageantry, pomp, and ritual, incorporating plays, chorales, and instrumental music that draw on many different traditions and highlight ancient practices of beauty. These ceremonies occur quite regularly at or near academies across the Inner Sea and I highly recommend you make every effort to attend one.

	entries.The Freeing Flame.description	<p>Local stories say that the people of Vidrian had the support of the gods when the time came for revolution. Lubaiko provided the first flames of rebellion, literally igniting the first cart that led to the initial confrontation at a plantation on the outskirts of Eleder. The tales then note that the casks on the cart erupted as the first blow was struck, creating a massive explosion that woke everyone on the plantation. Many say this was Cayden Cailean's way of showing his support. As everyone stirred about and watched those first servants and slaves fight, others were fearful of the consequences. It was the touch of hope that Milani granted them that finally gave them the strength to rise up and fight for freedom.</p> <p>Whether or not the stories hold truth, the Freeing Flame remains a notable pantheon among the people of Vidrian today. The young nation broke free from the shackles of oppression and now looks toward bettering itself in the future, a mantra that many Vidrics and followers of the Freeing Flame follow for themselves. With the guidance of Milani, the courage of Cayden, and the inspiration of Lubaiko, a faithful can burn away maladies of the heart to become a person that is free to do as they wish, but also do so without infringing on others. Some follow these ideals to stop tyrants and liberate those that can't live freely, while others take these teachings to become independent figures with little concern of others' expectations.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> free others from oppression, release harmful tethers be they physical or spiritual, work toward your best self and inspire others to follow</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> allow tyrants to escape punishment after their reign ends, enslave or oppress others, prevent others from honestly expressing themselves</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> liberation, toppling tyranny, and self-realization</p>

	entries.The Godclaw.description	<p>The Hellknight Order of the Godclaw reveres a pantheon of five deities: Iomedae and Torag are seen as Hellknights (concerned with offensive and defensive combat, respectively), Irori as the epitome of emotionless discipline, Abadar as a keeper of laws, and Asmodeus as a strategist king. Depictions of these deities as part of the Godclaw differ from traditional images, with the deities portrayed as stern, armored paragons of law. Though some members of the Order of the Godclaw dedicate themselves to individual gods, many take the whole pantheon as their patron, receiving spells despite their unorthodox (perhaps even heretical) beliefs.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> eliminate chaos at its root, be an exemplar of order (worthy of not one, but five), seek the universal laws that transcend individual faiths</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> rest when there is lawlessness to fight, believe you know or understand more than the pantheon</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> discipline, laws, order, strategy</p> <p><strong>Pantheon Members</strong> <u></u>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{Abadar}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.QRkcFciCOmFoxF1B]{Asmodeus}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.eErEiVmBqltYXFJ6]{Iomedae}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.qqqrbq4uCrelQvgH]{Irori}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{Torag}</p>

	entries.The Green Mother.description	<p>The Eldest of carnivorous plants, intrigue, and seduction, the Green Mother personifies the raw thrill and desire found throughout nature. Lush plants that entice prey only to kill with barbs or toxins lie within her authority, as do lustful acts and whispered secrets occurring in wild terrain. Her seductive form shifts from that of a beautiful fey such as a nymph to incorporating natural lures like sweet-smelling flowers and graceful verdant tresses. Just as the Green Mother's form constantly changes, her mood shifts from mercurial temptress to indifferent poisoner. No matter her form or attitude, the Green Mother is among the canniest of the Eldest, and she maintains several loyal agents who keep her well informed about goings-on in the First World and beyond. This information fuels her intrigues among the Eldest, and they all believe it wisest to keep on the Green Mother's good side lest their secrets be seductively whispered into the ears of their enemies.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Feasting Flower</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Carnivorous plants, intrigue, seduction</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Frolic in vegetation, manipulate people, use what you kill, prey on the weak</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Hold a secret for too long, discriminate against sex workers or use their trade to harm them</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> briar-wrapped lips</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> none (plants)</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> green, red</p>

	entries.The Laborer's Bastion.description	<p>This pantheon is widespread across the Inner Sea region, finding adherents among all those who must labor daily, whether in field or forge, city or farm, logging camp or caravan oasis. Such laborers seek strength in all its many forms. They look to Kurgess, the Strong Man, who was once a laborer himself, for aid in using their full potential, seeking to better themselves and encouraging others to strive toward their own potential, no matter their work. From Torag, they take the strength to be honorable and forthright and keep their word. And they look to Cayden Cailean not just for the strength to truly enjoy themselves when not working, but also to aid the oppressed. Recently, a small but growing number of followers, especially near Mzali, have been including Tlehar, too, as they seek the mental fortitude to give their best even as they hope each day will be better than the last. You'll find that these laborers won't cheat at honorable contests, swindle you, intentionally make anything subpar, or be mean or standoffish when drunk. Their religious observances tend to be frequent and regular but not at all fussy or lengthy. Ceremonies always seem to include food, drink, and games afterwards-or perhaps as part of the observances themselves. Followers of the Laborer's Bastion clearly place more value in companionship and reassurance of their faith than in following a formal script and getting all the rituals right. Personally, I feel at ease whenever I see their religious symbol-a mug and hammer on a sunburst background-as I know I'm among trustworthy, honest folk... even if we don't share a language or the same idea of what constitutes a decent breakfast.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> encourage others to strive toward their own potential, give your all to work and play, have hope that tomorrow will be a better day, stand up for the oppressed</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> cheat, give into or spread despair, keep silent when faced with oppression, work without respite or enjoyment</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> laborers, the oppressed, daily work, achievement</p> <p><strong>Pantheon Members</strong> @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.v67fHklTZ6LoU54q]{Cayden Cailean}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.r5vooG7NfvA9prJK]{Kurgess}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.0R2BjVb7d9tYCIbk]{Tlehar}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.sZrdzh0ANQnZGXJb]{Torag}</p>

	entries.The Lady of the North Star.description	<p>A goddess whose name has been lost to time (or purposefully obscured), the secretive Lady of the North Star is referred to only by her countless epithets. Despite the efforts of Pharasma's faithful to scrub the Lady's name from the annals of history, a few scattered sects still worship her and transmit her teachings. Their ranks are often closed to outsiders, and their initiation rituals are arduous and famously cryptic. In spite of the Lady of the North Star's love for secrecy, she has one famous weakness: her empathy for those nearing death. She has been known to take pity on those afflicted with incurable curses and ailments of all kinds, appearing to prospective followers through dreams and visions. There, she presents them with a final challenge: to uncover her lost path to immortality before their time runs out.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> Mother of Secrets</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Secrets, remembrance, winter, immortality</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Seek lost knowledge, uncover hidden mysteries, honor that which is forgotten, pursue immortality</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Destroy sources of knowledge, make public that which should remain secret, desecrate a memorial, grow complacent about one's ignorance and mortality, commit torture or murder, knowingly harm an innocent</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> jade cicada floating over mercury</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> peafowl</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> silver, violet</p>

	entries.The Lantern King.description	<p>Although the Lantern King most often appears as a floating ball of light surrounded by runes that form a delicate crown, the Eldest of laughter, mischief, and transformation has taken on a dizzying array of figures. He often adopts alternate shapes to play pranks, and even other Eldest are not immune to his mischievous scheming. Although he insists his pranks are intended only for levity and to bring down imperious snobs, the chaos he creates in the name of good-natured fun is, to his targets, embarrassing at best and sometimes outright lethal. The Lantern King wanders the First World more than other Eldest, and he can be encountered in crowded markets and lonely byways alike. He is frequently accompanied by the Witchmarket, a traveling caravan of entertainers and merchants that serves as his court.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Laughing Lie</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Laughter, mischief, transformation</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Play pranks, seek new jokes, leave lit lanterns in unusual places</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Be completely honest, ruin or explain a good joke</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> golden lantern</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> firefly</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> black, gold</p>

	entries.The Last Breath.description	<p>When all seems lost and no good reason for hope endures, some still resolve to fight their oppressors with every last ounce of strength. If they can't triumph, at least they'll make their foes pay dearly for victory. Whether inspired by Arazni's unyielding spirit, Milani's selflessness, or Calistria's thirst for vengeance, those who worship the Last Breath will never yield to tyrants, bullies, or abusers. Deeply self-reliant, these faithful rarely trouble the goddesses with lengthy prayers, merely asking for the strength to honor their convictions and the resolve to hold out despite all odds.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> punish oppressors, resist those who would control you and others, turn others' power against them</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> give in to despair, surrender</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> defiance, perseverance, and triumph over impossible odds</p> <p><strong>Pantheon Members</strong>@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.HtRxo4J3elFteIqu]{Arazni}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.AlL9GtlTldbqNoVm]{Calistria}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.fTJLgTfEMZreJ19r]{Milani}</p>

	entries.The Lost Prince.description	<p>The Eldest of loneliness, sadness, and forgotten things, the Lost Prince spends most of his time brooding in the throne room of his crumbling tower. Although his precise origin is a hotly debated issue, the Lost Prince is known to hail from a place other than the First World. The melancholy lord doesn't speak of his home, and in fact he doesn't speak much at all, as he's prone to bouts of depression powerful enough to leach color from his surroundings and press his coterie of followers into respectful silence. Appearing as a gaunt, pale human man dressed in black finery, the Lost Prince bears vivid red runes on his brow and on the backs of his hands. He is studiously neutral in the schemes of the other Eldest, which makes his opinions and his favor particularly valuable.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Melancholy Lord</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Forgotten things, sadness, solitude</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Aid the depressed, wear somber clothing, maintain neutrality, ruminate on the past</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Abandon someone who has no family, take public credit for your good deeds</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> crumbling black tower</p> <p><strong>Sacred Animal</strong> raven</p> <p><strong>Sacred Colors</strong> black, gray</p>

	entries.The Offering Plate.description	<p>The Offering Plate is a pantheon centered on selfless acts, charitable giving, and passing along skills or knowledge to improve the circumstances of those less fortunate. Followers believe Abadar agrees the health of a city's economy depends in part upon helping those least fortunate return to the market. Clerics sometimes carry flails that double as collection pots for donations. They find legal loopholes and contractually sound means of channeling funding and supplies to worthy causes in their community. Alseta reigns over transitions, and worshippers of the Offering Plate ask for her help as they assist those in need to transition from poverty and hardship into the next phase of their lives. Followers call upon Folgrit for patience and follow her edicts to take in or find homes for those without families. Kazutal teaches followers of the Offering Plate the ultimate goal of charity is to build a strong and loving community. Cayden Cailean reminds them every person deserves to live a life free of oppressive restrains, as well as a little leisure occasionally to lighten their loads. Many followers of the Offering Plate form traveling groups that share their time and wealth with those in need. These caravans are known as Offering Trains and some trains remain on a permanent route that travels between multiple settlements in the Inner Sea. These trains visit prosperous settlements, collecting what supplies and offerings they can, before moving on to deliver these donations to the less fortunate in other locations. One Offering Train has been making its way from Almas, up along the Sellen River, and delivering goods to the people of Mendev and the Sarkoris Scar for a number of years, earning them the title of the Crusader Caravan.</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> give to those in need, pass on skills and resources to others, contribute your unique talents to society</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> take resources from those who need them, act selfishly, keep knowledge or wealth to yourself</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> charity, hospitality, community</p> <p><strong>Pantheon Members</strong> @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.d56paSkcwvll2OhR]{Abadar}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.9n2CI0B3EA4y3BuU]{Alseta}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.v67fHklTZ6LoU54q]{Cayden Cailean},<br />@UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.VEyowuhC4FsBnG8c]{Folgrit}, @UUID[Compendium.pf2e.deities.Item.iXvyp9rGnqvFfy4q]{Kazutal}</p>

	entries.The Pale Horse.description	<p>The Pale Horse stalks the banks of the River of Souls. This has been true for eons, though few things are immune to change, and the story of the Pale Horse is no exception. Long ago, the stories say, a daemon traveled the pathways between the planes, consuming the souls of the dead before they reached the Lady of Graves. He appeared as a silent white stallion, and his name was the Pale Horse. Now, they speak of a psychopomp usher who guards mortal souls while they journey into the afterlife, hunting any who dare steal from the River of Souls. His name is the Pale Horse, and he serves the Gray Lady.</p> <p><strong>Title</strong> The Lash and the Plough</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> Beasts of burden, duty, revenge</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> Aid and be of service to friends and allies, fulfill your duties, seek vengeance</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> Break an oath, cower from combat, damage or destroy a soul, show mercy to those who betray you</p>

	entries.The Pandemonia.description	<p>Some people just want to throw the world into chaos, whether on a smaller scale through vexing pranks or on a larger scale by embracing complete anarchy. Adherents to the Pandemonia venerate the most confounding of extraplanar entities, ones who refuse to be bound by order and decorum to do whatever they want whenever they want. Some claim that their acts are all in good fun, but they often don't take the feelings of those they trick into account. Others know full well the consequences of their actions and simply don't care who they hurt. As befitting such a chaotic covenant, there is hardly any conformity of beliefs or methods within its ranks, making it almost more of a philosophy (albeit a rather disorganized one) than anything else.</p> <p><strong>Covenant Members</strong> mischievous fey, protean shapers, shapechanging spirits</p> <p><strong>Areas of Concern</strong> chaos, confusion, metamorphoses, pranksters</p> <p><strong>Edicts</strong> disrupt the status quo, never given reasons for your actions, play elaborate tricks on the unsuspecting</p> <p><strong>Anathema</strong> fall into a set routine, fix something that you have broken</p> <p><strong>Religious Symbol</strong> messy swirl of colors</p>
