The Great Saint Xelex, The Horror Xelex (Zel-lez)

Xelex is a god of balance, moving power, energy, life and death where it concentrates to spread all out in a calm and silent sea. He strives to make all fair, all just, and to make all equal. Where he sees power, he wishes to take and give to those who have none. Where he sees storms, he sees fit to make the skies calm. Where he sees destruction he wishes to see growth.

However he is the god of balance. Where he sees growth, so must there be regression. Where he sees life, he needs death. Where he sees light, so must there be shadow. Where there is opulence there must be deprivation. He seeks to make the ever changing actions of life to cease, to make his perfect kingdom. He does not wish death on his worshippers or his creations, only to see that life reaches its plateau. For all to be in balance.

He has been known to start devastating wars between prosperous kingdoms that have grown fat with excess and decadent delights and humbles them. He has been known to cure great plaques seeing the lost of life too extreme. He has pitted beasts against one another to deal with territorial disputes if one has growth too large. He has gifted starving tribes with great bounties and opportunities to alleviate their suffering. He has also been known to free mortal races from beneath the boots of cruel gods. For he sees this as the greatest affront of all, for what kind of disparity is there as the creators having power over their creations.

He has been in a long on going conflict with many different gods, and all see him has a great threat. A threat, but one of great respite as well, for he will also aid other gods in their struggles as well, as long as he sees some kind of disparity needing equalizing. For the sea of creation to be still, and silent, for all to be equal.

All who deal with Xelex must be acutely aware, he is intervening in something, something you may wish to have no part of, or one you may give all to help in. For dealing with Xelex is a game of great risk. He is entropy incarnate.

He is widely worshipped in the City of Huron and Glaion for is belief that all should be in balance. Both Cities have a culture based around problems being left at the door or right at the Pomerium surrounding each city. Each City has a few Cathedrals built to the god. Most of there faith revolves around creating balance in anyway they see fit. The devotees of Xelex engage in everything they see to make right. This often entails helping the poor out of poverty, or giving alms to all who ask. This also extends out further, they also take into their hands the law when the keepers of peace become corrupt. They even go so far as to have this belief of balance bleed into the political sphere, They push their governing bodies to seek solutions that are a net benefit to all, though they will also push these same entities to knock down the powerful and influential.

Most of their ceremonies are ostentatious affairs. They usually hold a form of gatherings to preach the teaching of the Great Saint, these are long winded sermons to most listeners however. They usually engage in some great presentation involving lit candles and extinguishing various candles that are growing to wild to demonstrate Xelex' will to keep it balanced. Though some branches of the faith do this by trying to keep a basin of water calm and still on roads with heavy traffic.
