Numina Religion

The Twilight Guardian

Severrin is the god of entropy, decay, and the waning part of the life cycle. He oversees vigils, illnesses, endings, decline, and the dead. The faithful of Severrin are often endlessly compassionate and have a deep respect for the Purposed. Their hearts can be so big that they will eschew fair weather situations and place themselves in the sad, harsh, difficult situations. These followers find no enjoyment there, but instead do it because they want to be where they are needed most. Those outside the faith will sometimes caricaturize them as dour, somber, morbid, or mopey, but there are no others willing to put themselves in a position to constantly love and lose, risk disease, and comfort the grieving. Found among their ranks are doctors, caretakers, shaman, battlefield chaplains, itinerant priests, and public servants.

Severrin’s influence is complemented by that of Gwennara, who governs the waxing aspects of the mortal cycle. The two faiths often share followers, worship spaces, and even goals. The first shared worship space, located in Fortune’s Bend, is known to be dedicated to Severrin during the night and Gwennara in the light, and many of the temples to these two deities have followed the same pattern.
