Tenets of Faith
Replace darkness and chaos with light and law. Expand the fetters of industry and shackle the world beneath its yoke.
Seek out and destroy the taint of undeath everywhere you go, even if they make claim of sentience.
Snuff out and cull the light of the Arcane and all who practice it no matter the means. Arcane magic fosters selfishness and self-interest, and brings ruin to the whole.
Trust not the perfidious xeno nor the inhuman, who seek only their own self-interests. Purge them and their lies unless they can fall into line.
Stand united with your community and obey the laws of the land. Always suspect others, even your closest friends, to catch heresy before it spreads.
Fear is the ultimate weapon, for it strikes at the spirit. Master its usage and know its touch.

Divine Goals & Aspirations
To see all Undead destroyed from the universe.
To destroy the darkness and replace it with sunlight.
To see Kali and all her followers laid low.
To promote the ways of industry, innovation, and technology.
To see magic controlled and suppressed.
Life's weakness is not a failing. It is what drives us to innovate and create, to supplement our own frailty. It spurns the gears of industry.
