Caelia

What do you think you're doing? Why do you take a knee? You are not weak. You shall not kneel this day. This is not a day for weakness, but one of strength. And you, you are strong. I have seen it in you. I have seen the tirelessness of your spirit. I have seen the inarcitulate power of your soul. I have see the energy that flows through you every day.
There is no weakness here, not today, not ever. You have the lives of hundreds of others within you. You have the courage of a thousand lone warriors on the battlefield who said, "Not today." You have the might of a million gods in you. You are meant for greatness, a greatness to chase away even the most powerful of foes. You have the vitality of the First Flame themselves.
But you cannot give up. You cannot simply wait for the next hero to save you. There is no prince on horseback to take you away. There is no stone where hidden underneath is a fortune of gold to keep you content. You are that hero. You are the one who will conquer this day, and the next. You will conquer your past, present, and future. All it takes is the first step. So rise, and be ready. The day has only just begun.

Holidays

Platinum Week: Originally called The Common Week, Platinum Week is a series of holidays worshiped by most humanoid cultures. The holiday originally came form Elven culture, featuring the following holidays:

• The Day of Respect: This was a day chosen as a moment for citizenry to show respect to their emperor and authorities. In practice, this was usually a day of parades, which often gave way to public feasts. Acts of charity were highly valued as a moral good on this day, and individuals were encouraged to serve their kingdom or empire for the unity it provided them.
• The Day of Reverence: This was a day to honor the fallen or injured. This was largely directed as soldiers, knights, or those lost in warfare, but was eventually expanded to include victims of monster attacks or murders, as well as those who suffered disabilities out of their control. Families were encouraged to seek out publicly honor soldiers and local heroes in their community, and do favors throughout the community as acts of kindness and charity.
• The Day of Rest: This was a day originally reserved for Elven meditation. But as empires grew to accommodate other cultures, the view shifted instead to be a day of rest and relaxation for all from general work. For citizens or serfs, this meant a day without consequence, to play in nature or tend to one's personal hobbies; for indentured servants, they were usually requested of less, and given time to restore themselves and their spirits; for slaves, it was encouraged for slave-owners to be lenient for a day, and encourage slaves to perform less tasks than normal, especially taxing or grueling labor.
• The Day of Revival: This was a day originally to honor Elven children, particularly due to the long cycle of reincarnation in Elvish society, and the joy of celebrating the brief beauty of childhood. It frequently featured parades, street performances, and child-oriented activities such as scavenger hunts. This is frequently the most popular day in Platinum Week across cultures, and even those who did not typically celebrate Platinum Week - such as Tieflings, Dragonborn, or Orcs - would celebrate this day specifically.

These days were typically done with blessings to The Triad - Morrígan, Caelia, and Timoria - as they are seen as blessed warriors of unity.

Personal history

Caelia, formerly Nona of The Triad, was the right hand a group of triplet gods dedicated to justice. Weakened by the growing Chaos during the 6th Age, they found themselves confronted by Tyrant, the Demon King. Confronted protecting her sister, Caelia focused her attention to her sister Morta, who was bested in combat. When she was brought down in combat, Morrígan told her that she could rise or fall from this defeat. And so she rose, ascending into the goddess of inspiration, progress, and crusade.
Caelia is most popularly worshipped by both commoners and warriors. With so much toil and difficulty in the world, Caelia pieces through all of the barriers facing many. Whether it is a slave that has to struggle through the day, a commoner who must toil the fields, or a knight who needs to take one more blow, Caelia stands as an inspiration to them all. Caelia is frequently co-opted as a god of resistance as well, and worship of her can sometimes be seen as a subversive act of rebellion among those who are disempowered, as they can merely claim it is their religion rather than their heart.
