As the Chief Goddess of the Orderlies and Avatar of Seiros, Mavtes is known throughout the world. [ENTER TIDBIT]

Goddess of Time

"It is said that Mavtes sees all, the past, the present, every possible future. She is in every place at every time and is aware of every thing. There is no escaping her eyes, and those who mess with time -- or otherwise interfere with the natural cycle -- will be hounded for the rest of their existence by her paladins" - Lich King Cyrus Reval

As the divine embodiment of Time, Mavtes holds within her realm the intricate tapestry of countless potential futures, rendering her a revered figure among seekers of knowledge. It is within this aspect that her worshippers gather, drawn to the limitless wisdom she possesses. The symbol of the Golden Eye resonates deeply with her domain, representing the all-seeing gaze that peers into the vast expanse of possibilities. Though Mavtes possesses the ability to unveil truths and illuminate the path with knowledge, such revelations are seldom bestowed, reserved for moments of utmost significance.
Those who seek Mavtes' wisdom understand that her revelations are not granted freely, for the threads of time are complex and intertwined. With meticulous discernment, Mavtes determines when to unravel the veils of foresight, bestowing glimpses of insight upon those deemed worthy. The rarity of these revelations only enhances the allure of her worship, with devotees yearning to decipher the cryptic messages hidden within the enigmatic realm of time. Thus, the seekers of knowledge flock to Mavtes, offering their devotion and prayers in the hopes of being graced with her divine guidance when the threads of destiny intertwine with their own.

Tenets of the Goddess of Time

All things exist in cycles

The ebb and flow of things is an inherent aspect of life's journey. Recognize that just as the tides rise and recede, so too do the circumstances in our lives. In times of plenty, express gratitude and appreciation for the abundance bestowed upon you. Cherish the moments of joy, prosperity, and contentment, knowing that they are gifts to be treasured. Equally important is the acceptance of times of struggle, for they too serve a purpose. Understand that challenges and hardships are an integral part of personal growth and resilience. Embrace them as opportunities for self-discovery, strength, and transformation. By acknowledging and learning from the adversities faced, one can develop the fortitude to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger.

Strive for the Objective Truth

Within yourself and in the vast expanse of historical records, the quest for truth beckons. Understand that truth is not merely subjective, but rather an inherent essence that exists independently of individual perspectives. It is the unwavering foundation upon which understanding and wisdom are built. Seek truth in all aspects of life, be it in personal introspection or through the exploration of historical narratives. Engage in self-reflection, unraveling the layers of your being to discover your authentic self. Embrace introspection as a means to align your actions, values, and beliefs with the fundamental truths that resonate within you.

The Goddess of Fate

"Those who think it a blessing to be given a fate a birth clearly do not have one, for while their names often echo throughout history the fatetouched often live harsh lives not of their own accord, puppets in a divine play where their lives are but a single moment in an unending play." - Heinrich Vassar, last Prince of Stadnor

Mavtes, the revered Goddess of Fate, is the subject of widespread veneration, particularly among those captivated by the mystic arts of divination and the desire to unravel the tapestry of the future. Her influence also extends to those yearning to defy the predetermined paths set before them, seeking to forge their own destinies. However, it is a widely held belief that Mavtes perceives mortals as mere pawns within a grand design, each playing a role in an overarching narrative aimed at achieving an ultimate goal. While this pursuit may usher forth positive outcomes on a grand scale, it often leaves individuals bereft of personal agency and choice, their well-being seemingly disregarded.
In the eyes of Mavtes' worshippers, the intricate interplay of fate and free will becomes a perplexing dance, as they grapple with the balance between surrendering to the currents of destiny and yearning for autonomy. Some find solace in the acceptance of their predetermined roles, embracing the notion that their actions are part of a greater cosmic tapestry. Others, however, strive to challenge the boundaries imposed upon them, fervently seeking ways to transcend the script written by the hands of fate. Through prayers and rituals, they beseech Mavtes for guidance and intervention, hoping to unravel the enigmatic threads of their destinies and carve out paths uniquely their own.
With deft hands, she weaves the intricate tapestry of every individual's life story, from the moment of birth to the final breath. As the master storyteller, Mavtes inscribes the grand narrative of the world in the celestial realm, etching its secrets upon the canvas of the stars. Her celestial records serve as a testament to the interconnectedness of all lives, capturing the essence of destiny's grand design.

Tenets of the Goddess of Fate

Each is according to their nature

The unwavering tenet of the Goddess of Fate affirms that no mistakes are made in the divine design, including the core aspects of an individual's identity such as their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. These fundamental truths about a person's being are believed to be chosen by the divine forces themselves, a sacred and purposeful expression of the individual's unique essence. Embracing this tenet calls for acceptance and celebration of the diverse manifestations of gender and sexuality, fostering a society that respects and cherishes the inherent worth and authenticity of each individual.

Bound By Differences

The beauty of mortals lies in their diversity, for it is through the differences among individuals that growth and appreciation flourish. A wise person recognizes the value in embracing perspectives that extend beyond their own, understanding that true wisdom and understanding emerge from the synthesis of diverse viewpoints. By embracing and respecting the unique perspectives of others, one opens the door to personal growth, fostering a harmonious and inclusive society where every individual's contribution is valued.

A Chosen Soul

The Goddess orchestrates connections that transcend conventional boundaries. Each individual is destined to find their true counterpart, the one who completes them in a profound and authentic way. It is crucial to appreciate and honor this divine union, recognizing that true completion can manifest in various forms, unrestricted by societal norms or preconceived notions. Regardless of the form it takes, the bond forged by the Goddess is sacred and deserving of profound appreciation, offering the opportunity for unparalleled growth, love, and fulfillment.

Goddess of Order

"Listen to me, stay out of those paladins way they are sworn to Mavtes, they care not for local laws or morality, only for the laws of their Goddess, and if you interfere with their duties they would just as soon kill you." - Captain Elric, Delaron City Guard
