Dyadikí

Dyadikí is a human religion of universal forces of good versus evil. Then manifestation of each come in various forms. Below is a list of deities and their provinces. Temples and churches are rarely dedicated to a single form, but rather a representation of goodness, where any of the good powers may be worshiped. Certain wings or areas may be dedicated for specific followers and priests of a specific god. The evil powers, however, are the exception - as they rarely have public places of worship. Usually a sect of one particular evil deity will build a secret shrine where only followers of that god know its location.

Each god is specialized of watching over certain influences; however, the greater ideology is that the gods are more like a hive-mind or faces of a cosmic and nearly omnipotent entity. For this reason, all worshipers of a goodly-aligned deities are welcome at any temple building. That said, each sect dedicated to one of the aspects of the gods does organize into more detailed ideology and hierarchal orders of authority.

Universal priests, referred to as Dyadikian priests, are those who do not specialize but rather worship the holistic form of all the Dyadiki deities. They are often the bureaucrats and officials over temples that are shared among the disciplines.

Culturally, universalists fall into two categories. Most are scholars who have an obsession with church dogma, history and development. These cloistered priests are the ones who seek the secrets of the cosmos, studying a single detail for years. Universalists tend to be the ones who perform magical research and similar skills.

However, in the other category, there are a few who are undecided about the church specialties and choose to worship the wider aspects of the religion. The universalists who become adventurers are in this smaller group, often tending to make use of the church to aid their own goals. Because of this, the universalists have been given a bad reputation by specific Deity worshipers, and in response to this notoriety, there exists a Board of Inquisitioners to manage rogue universalists acting in ways that tarnish the image of the churches.

These priests have access to every incantation of the twelve provinces; however, they are not able to cast any power above that which costs three Spirit points. Further, if the incantation is considered a specialty, as only one or two provinces grant it, then it is not available to universal priests either. While it is possible for a Dyadikian to later become dedicated to a specific face of the gods, the ceremony for a universalist to enter one comes at the cost of retraining the divine accord; thus losing the ability to cast all incantations; plus, the process sacrifices two Faith points; thus, afterwards if the total Spirit score is below 10 points, then all divine abilities, including those depending upon divine accord are lost.

Arariel, the deity of Sky and Sea in the Dyadiki religion, who is artistically represented as a young, spry guardian with golden weapons, which are sometimes declared to be made from orichalcum. He is seen as lord of rivers and seas, who sends rain and refreshment from the sky. Arariel is said to wet the pastures with dew and rain abounding in heavenly water. His celestial abode is depicted with streams that flow honey. Those who oppose him are stricken with disease. In religious texts, Arariel is said to be the maintainer of truth and punish those who lie.

Priests of Arariel are typical men, although a few priestesses are permitted, and must be well trained in melee weapons. From a game perspective, this means the ability to use two dice on an attack. The holy symbol of Arariel is a hand with an eye in the palm. This is commonly viewed in temples, shrines and places dedicated this god. While not the judges of the religion, the clergy of Arariel often work with Zuriel priests during discovery of urban crime and punishment, including being part of the judicial court process to ensure veracity of the testimony presented. Depending on one's view, Arariel has no holy days -- or everyday is one. A common phrase among Arariel's devout is "Everyday is due the truth."

As a bonus ability, those who gain divine accord with this god slowly gain a passive +1 to AC against lightning for each bonus of Resilience. In other words, an Arariel with with a 4 Resilience would have a +1 AC against lightning, but one with a 9 Resilience would be +3 AC versus lightning.

The ranking structure among the ordained are as follows:
 • Initiate: trainee in the church not yet completing divine accord
 • Hakham: the rank and title of most in the priesthood
 • Savora: this is the leader of a group, usually a temple but it could be other organizations
 • Godol: there is only one Godol, who is the highest title in the sect

The Mother of Grace is another name by which the winged goddess Barachiel is known. She appears as a tall and gaunt, middle-aged woman wearing long robes, who has an enlarged belly suggesting that the goddess is in the early stages of pregnancy. Despite being round in the belly, many of her other features might be mistaken as Fey for someone unfamiliar with the sect, as images of Barachiel also have large butterfly wings sprouting from her back.

The Church of Barachiel is generally symbiotic to other churches. While there are a few smaller shrines, to date there is not a temple that is exclusively designed for the worship and business of Barachiel. The clergy, who are mostly women, settle in where other structures of worship have been built. Further, everyone shares the same title once gaining divine accord, which is Sister (or Brother in the rare case of a male cleric). Because this is a female-dominated worship, traditions in culture of Dyadiki worship results in blessings and endowments from heritage being passed down by the matriarchs of the families. Often the culture still tends to be patriarchal, but there are clear traditions and governances that belong to women, legal inheritance being among them.

Upon reaching a Faith score of 6, priests of Barachiel gain a special skill of diagnosis that can be used once per day. The cleric can gain an instant knowledge of what ails a subject with a quick examination requiring only a standard action. At the start of the priest’s following turn, with no checks required, the healer automatically knows the nature of any wounds, diseases or curses from which the subject suffers.

Music and Art are the things of importance to those who worship Israfel. This goddess takes on many forms when referenced in the religious writings, appearing as animated sculptures or characters of a painting. She once sent word to her followers in lyrics to a symphony that only they could hear. Thus, her physical form is rarely described, although she is always designated as female and beautiful.

Her church consists of musicians and artists, and her holy ground rarely joins with classic temple structures. Instead, her priests and priestesses form cultural centers for learning and art. Rather than temples, these places are called Lyceums. It is here that the philosophy of beautification is professed, along with other ideologies. Skills of music, poetry, writing, painting, sculpting and many other arts can be learned at a Lyceum. Politics, governance and debate often occur in theaters housed on a campus; however, traditional training in law is not part of any curriculum, as ideological topics tend to be discussed by theories and ideals rather than in practice. However, this goddess grants a special bonus for her priests who have a Faith score of 5 or higher; they can use karma to learn a language faster than 14 days. This is based on the formula of 14 minus Faith; thus, a priest with Faith 7 could learn a new language in only 7 days by using karma for this skill.

Because the organization is closer to an institution of learning than that of a church, the titles of the priesthood as likewise similar:
 • Isrhymist: a follower of Israfel; someone without divine accord
 • Advisor: the title of someone newly ordained
 • Orator: the title of someone who routinely has direct students or disciples
 • Ideologean: a non-teaching priest who is involved in research, on sabbatical, or performing missionary work
 • Meister: (Meisterin for women) this is a church leader who is in charge of the organization of a specific disciple of art, such as the Meister of Poetry
 • Lehnsherr: this is the title of the high priest who holds the highest title in a Lyceum

Similar to Israfel, Jhudiel holds a more conceptual province than many deities. The god, however, is far more pragmatic than theoretical. Jhudiel is the personification of Honor and Responsibility. In the local language his name in lowercase means order and brotherhood. He is symbolized as an invisible spirit, wandering through society correcting the chaos caused by inattentiveness, procrastination and apathy. His holy symbol is a pentagon formed by the shape of five people.

Jhudiel's church has two distinct orders, one of community and one of nature. While they are technically co-mingled and share holy grounds, these two orders have different methods of achieving and restoring order. In urban and populated areas, the church of Jhudiel is an active group of community organizers. Priests, typically known as "Brothers," (or "Sisters" for women), organize projects for members of the community to join, build local centers, create mentor programs, offer services for boarding animals, cleaning up trash and other various helpful things for the community. Those belonging to the nature order often work to preserve the niches of animals, plant trees, clean rivers from human dumping and even fight fires.

Any priest of Jhudiel can use a standard action to touch an ally and remove one negative condition affecting the ally and transfer it to oneself. This transfer lasts a number of rounds equal points of Faith of the priest, but it can be ended at the will of the priest, without an action, upon his or her turn. At the end of the transfer duration, the condition reverts to the original creature, unless it has ended or is removed by another effect. This can be performed once per day.

Sachiel is the god of charity and wealth. Often depicted as a well-dressed rotund man, this deity appears in religious parables. Some tales discuss how he appears to those in need and provides in a material way, while in other stories the god gives advice on business and investments. The moral of most parables is that a person must be faithful and prosperous to himself so that he can help others. "A poor person rarely gives aid of value" is one of the adages of his church. Another proverb states "Intention is good, but coin is better."

Many merchants and business owners worship Sachiel routinely. Wealthier ones keep priestly advisors on retainer for financial advice. Priests of Sachiel have a unique ability to commune with market, which requires the rector to spend half an hour to investigate the economic hub of the area, chat to shop keepers and get “a feel” for the place. At the end of this time the cleric gains a powerful supernatural insight into the economy, and strong ideas of how to make money in this town. He or she will learn the main imports and exports of the economic hub, what are the more rare and the abundant commodities, what the ares needs as well as what it actually wants. This divine insight lasts for roughly one month.

“Light either reveals to show or glares to obscure” is one of the idioms of the Church of Uriel. Being the god of light, Uriel is the keeper and revealer of secrets. In paintings and sculptures, Uriel is often depicted as a very tall, thin man of middle age, having clumps of yellowish hair. Additionally, the personification of Uriel commonly wears goggles or a magnifying loupe; this is to accentuate the concept of the deity's sharp and penetrating eyes.

The Church often fills the role of detective, investigator and scientists, especially in smaller villages when such roles are not easily filled by the community. As such, the Uriel Church has ties into several secret society memberships and hordes covert knowledge which may not fit well into polite society. It is not uncommon for one of the regional churches to be investigating otherworldly escapades, performing monster autopsies, or training secret sorcery classes to apprentices -- not that the public at large would be appear of this.

Upon reaching a Faith score of 4, a priest of Uriel will gain special resistances against the weather. Rain, snow and fog will not penalize Perception checks. These holy worshipers can move through snow-covered and icy terrain at normal movement. Wind effects, whether natural or magical, affect a priest as if he or she had 2 points more of Strength or one Size Category higher, depending on the description of the effect.

Titles in the Uriel Church are designated as follows:
 • Aspirant: the title of someone newly ordained
 • Deacon: the title of a priest having served for three or more years
 • Investigator: the title of a priest who performs discovery for the Church
 • Archimandrite: the title of a priest in charge of a Cathedral
 • Archdeacon or Bishop: the title of a priest in charge of a geographical region of churches
 • Archbishop: the papal title of a priest over all the Uriel Churches

Often Zuriel is viewed as the god of war; however, his province more properly aligns with Order, Wisdom and Justice. It is becomes of these characteristics he is the deity consulted for matters of war; in turn, many of the artistic representations of Zuriel is as a general or a strategist examining a map or surveying a battle field. However, there are a few portrayals of him as scholarly judge, disciplining the delinquents of society, often represented in paintings as worshipers of Maalik.

Many of this deific sect become political Magistrates or lesser judges of the courts. While a judgeship may occur for a person not of the Church, it is rare. However, in addition to being the law of the land in many ways, this church also employs a private church army to enforce and dispense justice should it become necessary.

Priests of Zuriel have a special ability when gaining the fourth point of Faith. One can bestow resolve upon willing targets, who will receive divine boldness, which adds 2 temporary Body points that last for 1 minute (6 rounds). This special ability can be performed the number of times per day equal to the priest’s Faith bonus value; thus, once at score 4, but twice at 6.

Titles of the Church of Zuriel are as follows:
 • Novice: the title of someone newly ordained
 • Myrmidon: the title of the conscription troops serving the Church
 • Commander: the title of someone leading a group
 • Reverend: the title of a priest in a leadership position over Commanders or in charge of a project or association
 • Crusader: the title of a layman or priest who leads a church militia of troops
 • Champion: the title of the most renowned Crusader
 • Justice: the title of a priest who holds the highest title in a Temple
 • High Justice: the papal title of a priest over all the Zuriel Churches

Azrael’s worshipers revel in the night and admire all things nocturnal. The followers of Azrael do not worship in hope of favors but instead honored and placated in hopes to keep evil away. Religious cautionary tales talk of this god not being appeased and releasing his minions. While attempting to push this philosophy, his priests do not necessarily hide their allegiance, but often they do not function well in society as their methods are less than moral. As a result, many priests of Azrael attempt to not have a public face as a worshiper. This does create risk with the god who enjoys having his ego assuaged.

Lower-ranked priests, who have not had time to get dirty yet, act as open missionaries who warn doom if proper homage is not given. Meanwhile higher-rank priests will establish hidden temples where the real work is done. The church does have one day of reasonable popularity mostly due to the unique festivities surrounding Azrael’s holy day. September 13th is the date of celebration which is similar to the holiday of Halloween on Earth. People on all rungs of society dress up in costume, and it is said that Azrael’s minions come out this night to blend with the revelers. Those not “in disguise” may make a tasty treat for her undead.

Finally, the church of Azrael loves the state of war and battle. Followers are almost always trying to perform clandestine acts that will promote a fight, even if it is merely a bar brawl. For many of his followers, witnessing violence is arousing, erotic, lewd and seductive. Better skilled members perform this on a grander scale to actually disrupt politics and misrepresent things to goad states and nations into going to war. Often the targets are based upon vengeance; however, the timing may continue over generations just to continue the lust of it.

When gaining a score of 4 Faith, priests of Azrael can cast the sorcery spell appropriation as a divine power requiring only 1 point of Spirit as a cost. At Faith 6, one can cast transmogrify as a divine power requiring only 2 Spirit cost. Finally, upon reaching the eight point of Faith, the dark priest can polymorph with a casting cost of 3 Spirit points.

Tamiel is at times called the Shadow Queen. She has few temples or shrines. Those that exist are difficult to recognize as such, as these are often hidden, appearing as something else, or left abandoned. However, for special nights the followers of the church gather to lead the people in paying their respects to things that are far worse than death. Vile rituals have been reported, but few know what truly occurs.

Despite existing in a dualistic pantheon where most of the culture views things as good vs. evil, Tamiel relies on worshipers of the religion. That does not necessarily mean they worship her, but rather that there is a healthy fear of her presence. This fear feeds her power, even if those exuding it are not her followers. As such, should there be a holy war, church members act a spies and assassins. Their contributions to such wars is rarely recognized, which is also by Tamiel’s design.

The true identity of church members is rarely known, as the church operates much like a secret society, members often appear as having whole others lives, perhaps even members of another church. Followers are taught to strike from dark places and take little wherever they go. They loathe the blunt-force war tactics of Zuriel to be pointless. Instead, worshipers of the Shadow Queen believe that people are terrorized when leaders are taken from them and a terrorized leaderless people are easily conquered and controlled. In the chaos and cruelty of war and hopelessness, the priests find refugees ripe for conversion.

Ordained members of the Tamiel Church gain a special power when earning 6 points of Faith. An evil cleric can whisper a hypnotizing litany of empty promises. Each enemy within 30-foot that can hear must succeed a Will save (DC:12 plus Faith bonus) or become fascinated, effectively under the stunned restriction until the end of the victim’s next turn. Every round this is used forces a new save even if continued as consecutive actions. The cleric can use this power a number of rounds per day equal to one’s Faith bonus, but these rounds do not need to be consecutive. This is a mind-affecting effect.
