Cult of Life

Public Agenda

The cult's primary purpose is the preservation and protection of life no matter the cost. As with their patron god, their purpose is not about preserving any particular form of life, but ensuring that no matter what happens, some type of it will remain. Fortunately, whatever safeguards they have in place to ensure such have never needed to be called upon as far as is known, and instead the cult lends much of its power to the study and preservation of struggling species and peoples, though they are quick to remind that this can change if needed.

Assets

As their nature is in the preservation of life, the cult has strong connections to those in relevant fields who oftentimes lend their expertise, equipment, funding, and other resources. Biologists, ecologists, and veternarians are common associates of the group if not members of it directly themselves.

Tenets of Faith

Described by many as fickle as life itself, cult members are often detached from emotional connections to their charges and see their intervention itself as an act against nature. Such interventions must be heavily weighed on their worth, meditated on, and repented for. Changing the flow of life for one's own gain rather than survival, to end unneeded suffering, or allow life to prosper is seen as one of the deepest sins and a betrayal to all the cult stands for.   The cult stands in opposition to Shia, the God of Death and shi's own cult, especially their belief that life itself is fleeting. While individual lives are seen as a mere flash, life as a whole is seen as strong, unending, and perpetual part of the cosmos itself. Something that once started, cannot be stopped. It will always find a way to bounce back from even the worst disasters, calamities, and destruction eventually. This fundamental juxtaposition to the death cult has led to much strife between the two groups, with little middle ground, though some smaller sects led by other gods do find the two as a matched pair- two faces of the same coin.
