Three-Roles Faiths

The old farming religion of Reld, The Giteri, and northern Caracar. This faith believes in 3 godly roles: benevolent Sun, Malevolent Blight, and capricious/inconstant Water. There are a long list of gods who take it in turns to occupy these roles, and they change and rotate them at certain times. The exact list and ordering of gods, as well as the exact identified symbol of Blight, varies between individual faiths.
Roles:

• Sun: measures days, grants light and warmth, whose flesh is sunfire and whose heart flows with the lifeblood of the cosmos
• Rain: fickle master of life and bounty

Three big ceremonies in the year:

• Sowing: driving out (blight) - for instance, the Turf-Troll festival of Vonch.
• Harvest: thanks (sun)
• Midwinter: beseechment (water)

Variants

• Sokani variant: In Sokani, Blight is associated with Salt, and is chiefly worshipped by the Turf-Trolls. 3 of the 4 islands have 13 gods, the remaining one (Eloguin) has 15.
• Emshol variant: fire, water and earth, without traditional good-neutral-evil assignations.
• Felletoum Variant: Blight is associated with the strange magical effects sometimes imbued into the fruit here, and given a more trickster-like vibe, seen as selfish and with a cruel sense of humour rather than truly evil.
