Phane
The Great God of Life Phane (a.k.a. the Vibrant)
"In the realm of Phane, the god of life so bright,
A radiant force, in the Deepest Dreaming's light.
He battled with Kerro, goddess of the night,
A feud of power, a celestial fight.
Phane, the bringer of life, so divine,
His love for all living, a sacred sign.
From death's cruel grasp, he did shine,
Proving life's power, forever entwined.
In Phane's sacrifice, a story unfolds,
Slain by Kerro, in tales of old.
From his body, new life arose,
In Phane's name, our gratitude flows.
Phane, the bringer of life, so divine,
His love for all living, a sacred sign.
From death's cruel grasp, he did shine,
Proving life's power, forever entwined.
The City of Zilla, within Phane's embrace,
Thrives in the dream, a wondrous place.
Within his body, its people find grace,
In Phane's love for life, we embrace.
Phane, the bringer of life, so divine,
His love for all living, a sacred sign.
From death's cruel grasp, he did shine,
Proving life's power, forever entwined.
Supreme over death, in Phane's name we sing,
In the Deepest Dreaming, his praises we bring.
In life's eternal dance, his love takes wing,
In Phane's embrace, our spirits take spring.
Phane, the bringer of life, so divine,
His love for all living, a sacred sign.
From death's cruel grasp, he did shine,
Proving life's power, forever entwined.
So let us honor Phane, with hearts so pure,
In his love for life, we shall endure.
In Zilla's city, we are secure,
For Phane's supremacy, we're forever sure.
Phane, the bringer of life, so divine,
His love for all living, a sacred sign.
From death's cruel grasp, he did shine,
Proving life's power, forever entwined."

Holidays
Holidays in the faith of Phane's Children are divided into two types: Personal and public.
Personal holidays involve parties that typically include gifts, music and dancing. They celebrate life milestones such as births, coming of age events, marriages, and so on.
Public holidays mark the passage of time. There is a holiday at the beginning of every month called a Quickening and every season (three months) begins with a Finidetta.
The beginning of the year is marked by the Celebration of Hope and the middle of the year is marked by the Festival of Fulfillment. Both of these celebrations are all-hands events with enormous public celebrations that involve dancing, romance, feasts, concerts, and for adults the consumption of alcohol and often romantic trysts ranging from chaste to wild.
