Cosmological Views

Faith and Life

The Hierophant and The Empress share a bond that emphasizes life’s sacredness and the traditions that sustain it. While The Empress nurtures growth, The Hierophant ensures that the divine teachings guiding society's understanding of life are passed down and preserved. This alliance is revered by priests and community leaders who promote both religious observance and communal prosperity. To the devoted, the two deities inspire a life led by moral principles and rooted in the interconnectedness of all beings.

Sacred Laws and Divine Judgement

The Hierophant’s role as a mediator between the divine and mortal realms aligns naturally with Justice, who enforces balance and fairness. Their relationship is seen as the foundation of law, with The Hierophant crafting divine doctrine and Justice ensuring that it is upheld. This duo is revered by judges, lawmakers, and religious authorities who see themselves as enforcers of both divine will and earthly fairness. Temples dedicated to these deities are places of judgment, oaths, and solemn contracts.
