Pholtus Character in 100 Worlds | World Anvil

Pholtus

Pholtus himself appears as a tall, slender man with pale skin, flowing white hair and bright blue eyes burning with the fires of devotion. He always wears a silky white gown and a cassock trimmed with gold and silver, embroidered with suns and moons.   Relationships   Pholtus has an unfriendly rivalry with St. Cuthbert.   He is opposed by Trithereon.   Pholtus is allied with Heironeous and Pelor.   Resources   Pholtus is said to reside in The Path of Law, a domain in the Clockwork Nirvana of Machina.   TEMPLES Buildings consecrated to Pholtus are white. Services include many brightly burning candles, long sermons and choruses of the worshippers' anthem.   Additional Details   WORSHIPPERS Worshippers of Pholtus are called Pholtans. Some Pholtans claim that he set the sun and the moon in the sky and maintains them in their rigid procession to show all creatures the One True Way, a strict path which allows no deviation but absolutely assures rightness. Such claims are not regarded as doctrine.   The faith of Pholtus often conflicts or works at cross purposes with that of St. Cuthbert , whose alignment is also borderline Lawful Neutral/Lawful Good.   CLERICS Pholtus's clerics are most active in cities, where they seek to reveal the light to unbelievers. They act as lawyers, judges, and arbiters when they're not preaching about their god. They are never completely without light if they can help it. Magical light is preferred, but a candle or a piece of luminous fungus will serve if no other light is available.   PALADINS Paladins of Pholtus are known as templars or inquisitors. They consider questions of morality to be secondary to faithfulness to Pholtus and his One True Way. They seek the destruction of chaos, darkness, and evil, in that order. While some individual Pholtan paladins can be as merciful as paladins of Pelor or Heironeous , doubt and mercy are not considered virtues in their tradition, and many believe them to be weaknesses.   Pholtan paladins traditionally dress in white and pale yellow tunics of fine linen or silk, with silvery borders decorated with suns and moons or excerpts from Pholtan scripture.   The Lords of the Gloaming are a group of Pholtan paladins who seek to destroy portals to the Lower Planes of existence. Saint Ceril the Relentless was among their number.
