Ravi

Ravi is the god of light, law, order, and justice. He is the embodiment of a good, organized civilization. Ravi revealed his laws to mortals as a template to live a happy, good, and spiritual life. His worshipers believe that strict adherence to Ravi's commandments and observation of his specified rituals will lead to salvation, blessings, happiness in this life and in the afterlife.   It was the injustices perpetrated by the now Archprisioned towards the mortal races that drove Ravi to unite the Eight and rebel. He chose prophets from among the mortal races to give them order and law - freedom from their feral natures. He petitioned Tsuki to heal the mortals and offer them succor from their afflictions. Ultimately, Ravi's rebellion led to the Ascension and the imprisonment of the Old Gods in Limbo.   Ravi is generally associated with the afterlife, ushering just souls to paradise or guiding them back down to Aasha to begin a new life. For this reason Ravi is closely associated with transcendental magic. Those magics that move the spiritual fibers of the universe.

Tenets of Faith

May law be your Light.
Followers of Ravi revere the perfect following of commandment, laws, and rituals. They believe that the act of obedience - especially commands from God - often supersedes the reason for the act. They believe that the worshipers of Ravi are among the oldest religions in Aasha, and that the thousands of years of happiness achieved by those followers are self-evident of the prudence of following Ravi's commands.   Of all of the religions, the worshipers of Ravi believe in highly organized churches and religious structures. These highly stratified organizations have massive power and resources to help the poor, the needy, and respond when disaster strikes, and are often called to do so.   Raviians believe that the teachings of the prophets of Ravi hold the blueprint for happiness. That an obedient child is also a happy and safe one. Those who worship the Gods and follow thier commandments are also those that incur the Gods' favor.
