Uxlotl & Hebris

the Clockwork, the Pendulum, the Dead God, the Savior

Uxlotl’s titan, which lays at rest in Ashweald, was a three-hundred foot tall mechanism constructed of millions of cogs and clock hands. Steam and dust filled the air in its wake and when it strode across the earth to shield the world from Belafa’s fall, it shattered into millions of pieces and Uxlotl died.
Uxlotl’s death, the death of his titan, changed him forever. The Clockwork that roamed the earth was gone but the Pendulum remained, working still in the beyond. And so, Hebris was born. Hebris has no titan and has assumed much of Uxlotl's mantle but he's also the very incarnation of the sacrifice that Uxlotl made and that makes a lot of difference in his temperament.

Divine Domains

Uxlotl was the god of time, the sun, alchemy, vocation, and temperance. Hebris is the god of the stars, the moons, alchemy, sacrifice, and time.

Artifacts

Many pieces of the Clockwork's body litter Ashweald and the clergy of Uxlotl, what remains of it, considers them to be sacred. It's often difficult, however to determine the difference between pieces of the Clockwork and simple gears or large chunks of steal. Obviously the simplest test is to see whether it causes temporal distortions, but if it does that generally makes it impossible to obtain in the first place.

Holy Books & Codes

Uxlotl had a few holy texts written by holy men from the Age of Archons, the original copies of which have been partially or wholly lost to the sands of time. Hebris has only one book dedicated to him so far, supposedly divine inspired, exalting his deeds saving the world from Belafa's fall and declaring the Moonfolk to be the holy children of the god and moon (called The Savior God by Augustus II).

Tenets of Faith

Edicts	Anathema
Protect the moonfolk; not all will understand them, but they are sacred. Work tirelessly; idleness is wickedness. Embrace the stars as your guide; they will never lead you astray. Let the sun dictate your choices; time moves the same for all.	Mock insecurity. Allow harm to befall moonfolk. Eat the flesh of beasts.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

Uxlotl had worked closely with the other ethereal gods in their goals to bind mortal souls to an afterlife, even though he lacked his own realm. Hebris on the other hand favors the Great Rhythm and his clergy has made no secret of this.
Protecting the moonfolk has also been made a priority of the born again god's agenda. Hebris, unlike his former self and fellow ethereal gods, seems to be a much less distant god.

Though my tables will never observe strict alignment adherence, there are those who find knowing what alignments are common among a god's followers can be useful for roleplaying a faithful. Uxlotl always favored those along the neutral cross and in the lawful column. Hebris favors those of a good alignment but is accepting of most anyone.
