Tenets of Aevo

{{{Tenets}}}

Depiction

Aevo is envisioned as a great kingly figure, a tall man seated on a throne, with close-cut but full beard and hair and a powerful body adorned by robes of the highest quality. His head is surmounted by a halo of spinning stars that is the crown of his kingship, and he bears a great sword across his lap. The four winds are his servants and heralds, and serve him depicted as kingly gryphons.

Symbols

Aevo's holy symbol is an Empyrean Star crafted of gold, with a crown in its center. The other symbols of his faith are depictions of winds and gryphons (as well as hawks and lions), diamonds and lapis lazuli, as well regal swords. Because Aevo formed the first order in the universe, notions of civilization have their origins in him (although his daughter Khoro is rightly the goddess of civilization), so the heraldry of nations are also considered symbols of Aevo. Aevo's holy power in his champions shows forth as a hot wind and a brilliant white radiance.

Origins

Of the Greater Empyrean Gods, Aevo was the first made by the whim of the Primordials, and so powerful was the effects of Aevo's creation that the multiverse first split into Elemental Chaos and Astral Sea. Aevo led his breathren in the Dawn War. Since that time, Aevo has led the Empyrean Court, and it was by his command that the Talion Gods were wrought.

The Vault of Heaven (Heaven)

A vast realm of bluest sky, the terrain of the Vault of Heaven is made up of wispy clouds. In some areas, these clouds have been condensed to be like cloud-white marble, upon which structures of sublime grace and airiness are built. In these skies fly the angelic servants of Aevo, and a variety of his other winged servants, including the gryphons which are his symbol. The faithful dead of Aevo are also capable of flight, given silvery wings by their faith in the Sky Father.

Avengers of Aevo

The avengers in the service of Aevo are holy slayers, dedicated to the often-secret fight against those forces who stand arrayed against the Church. They are particularly prevalent in the Almanni state religion, where they are the secret enforcers of the Lord Theocrat of Almanni.

Clerics of Aevo

Clerics of Aevo are the well-revered living saints of the Church of Aevo, and they inevitably rise to positions of prominence and respected leadership in the faith of the One King. Sword-wielding holy men who bring the word of civilization and order to the world, backing up the authority of nations in their dealings with men.

Invokers of Aevo

Called "Aevo's Gryphons" by the Church, invokers have dreams of flying and visions involving gryphons quite often. Driven by their dreams, those who are imbued with the power of Aevo often begin with pilgrimages to high mountain peaks, often encountering gryphons who regard them warily but peacefully. Those who return from such journeys are marked by the power of Aevo, and use it to carry for the will of the First of the First.

Paladins of Aevo

Practically the archetypal knights, Aevonian wear helmets that feature stylized crowns worked into the brow of the helm, to denote their status as the lords of battle. Paladins of Aevo are the most common knights errant, traveling the lands to see good wrought and uphold the strength of good common folk and nobles alike by slaying dangers at the edges of civilization.

Runepriests of Aevo

The splitting of the Elemental Chaos from the Astral Sea caused great powers to be made manifest in the world. Though greater than mere writing, these Mysteries are made manifest by sigils of tremendous power. The so-called Empyrean Sigils are the bulwark of the Empyrean runepriests, who pursue understanding of these ancient powers with Aevo's blessing.
