Sauriel

Written by Janto

The Unconquered (Pezzlio) / Protectress (Commonwealth)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Domain: War, Knowledge
Symbol: A double-bladed axe
Sauriel is the patron deity of the Kingdom of Pezzlio, and therefore occupies a place of lesser importance in the Commonwealth. In Pezzlio she is the supreme god of the state and the god of just warfare. Her Temple guides national policy and everything related to the conduct of the war is said to progress with her blessing. Her clerics are often expert soldiers there, and most commanders hold a position within her Temple.
In the Commonwealth, Sauriel is given a junior position to Huvoi. She is a mistress of soldiers and their daily struggles. Her temples are much smaller and mainly function as communal organizations for veterans. Her clerics are militaristic, but go to great pains to avoid anything that suggests the Pezzlian form of Sauriel worship.
