Nightwarden
The sibling of Sunfire, the Nightwarden is their oposite and compliment. They are in the great void of space, but also the little dark corners of the world. They provide cover for that which is private and rest to those who are weary. While it's true that those who lie, steal, and betray all benegit from the Nightwarden's blessings — the god has no ill intentions. Lovers finding an intimate moment and the gentle calm of sleep are equally cherished by the Shadowed One, for example.
It's unclear if the Nightwarden ever had a proper physical form or if it was lost during the Dawn War. What's clear is that they are now only present as whispering shadows in the dark.
Worship
The Twilight Monarch rarely have large temples as the priesthood feel naturally inclined towards more discreet or hidden away locations. When temples are bigger, most of the space is hidden behind a simple exterior. Light sources are few and far between, able only to cast long shadows. The Nightwarden's priests sometimes precide over small funerals or bless couples who elope in secret, but they won't perform large ceremonies.
There are no true statues or images of the Nightwarden. They are sometimes represented as statues of cloaks with no one inside or as people with a blank surface instead of a face. Other symbolism use a black opal or a dark circle with a blue border.
Tenets of Faith
- Illuminate nothing without reason.
- A secret given in confidence should remain a secret.
