Eothas (AY-uh-thahss)

Eothas is the god of renewal and light. He is often represented as a young man holding a candle and wearing a crown of shining silver.
Influence over the sun and stars contributes to his overall air of grandeur and importance, putting Eothas at odds with the rest of the pantheon. By divine command, his churches are strictly regulated in their laws of the faith. A candle, lantern, or torch must burn in the centre of every room, banishing "shadows of unfaithful" to vacant doorways (Berath’s realm). Doves are traditionally housed in towering rookeries, and crows hunted for miles around.
While worship of Eothas is still popular in the Zikeland Empire, the faith is outlawed in most cities and its followers are often victims of prejudice due to events of the All Saint's War. Prior to the war, Eothas communicated regularly with his faithful, but he has not done so for the past fifty years.
Eothas is the god of light, redemption, hope, and rebirth. Priests of Eothas are honest and kind in their dealings, condemning all expressions of cruelty and falsehood.
Gaun is an aspect of Eothas that emphasizes the natural ending of mortal life. Commonly represented as a farmer carrying a lantern and sickle, Gaun is a figure of cyclical death as opposed to Rymrgand’s entropic one or Berath’s cold inevitability. The sickle he carries reaps what is sowed in life, and the lantern guides the deceased through death and rebirth. It is believed that Gaun, instead of Berath’s avatars, visits those who embrace death with acceptance.
