The Covenant

"The Covenant," also known as "The Golden Covenant," is a church dedicated to the worship of the pantheon of deities known as The Powers. They are worshipped by the humans in the world of Aeldoren. Each deity represents specific spheres of influence and virtues, contributing to the complex tapestry of Human beliefs and values. The pantheon is a collection of contrasting concepts and virtues that guide the lives of the faithful.     Luminara : Associated Compassion, Service, and Sacrifice.
  Valerian : Associated with Ambition, Glory, and Achievement.
  Vesperia: Associated with Identity, Expression, and Mysteries.
  Veritian: Associated with Knowledge, Secrets, and Understanding.
  Fidelian: Associated with Duty, Protection, and Stability.
  Ecarius: Associated with Joy, Freedom, and Discovery.
  Regalius: Associated with Strength, Courage, and Leadership.
  Harmonia : Associated with Balance, Unity, and Serenity.
  Triburiel: Associated with Justice, Righteousness, and Order.

  The worship of the Powers in Aeldoren is deeply rooted in a decentralized, polytheistic tradition, where each deity is revered through individual temples and local practices. Worshippers seek guidance, blessings, and intervention based on the unique virtues of each god. While temples serve specific deities, cathedrals honor the entire Covenant, acting as unifying centers of faith. The Powers' influence shapes moral values and everyday decisions, offering spiritual and philosophical guidance. This structure allows for regional variation, yet ensures a shared understanding of divine principles, fostering societies where personal devotion aligns with the collective virtues of the gods.
“I have never seen the Powers with my eyes, but in silence, in suffering, in love—I have felt them. That is enough.”
