Submission: Morpheous

[Kalagoth]

Religion:

Morpheous, Goddess of Magic

The grace of divinity, the essence of magic, a gift to the world of Belariath. The Goddess of Magic stands at seven feet in height, though if one should.. or could lift her, she'd be feather-light. Much like how maleable the essence of magic is, her hair, skin and wing color and tone are changed often, though should one delve deep enough into the tomes of times past, they'd find out that at one point, she had hair of fiery red, flesh that glimmered a golden hue and wings of the purest white. Her garb in its natural state is a simple dress of white fabric, one would guess a cotton.. however, given the nature of the one wearing it, it could appear to be anything that she desired. That could range from simple garb to the heaviest of armors, of any shape or coloration. That is the way of magic. She does not bother wearing anything upon her feet, or any jewelry, simply relishing in the waves and motions of magic shaped through her will and way. One could say that her angular features are almost elven in how delicate she appears, but that would be giving the elves more credit than they're due.


Established Understandings:

Morpheous was the one who gifted magic unto the world of Belariath in centuries long past. It wasn't till much later than she created the beings called the Magi, in Her vision. She cares not for good, nor evil, and their petty squabbles are beneath her, rather, she enforces the laws of magic and everything therein. Magic, while mutable, is not without its own set of laws, in which Morpheous and her high-guard watch dutifully to make sure that nothing goes awry. She is a kind and generous woman, who could say otherwise? She gifted the world of Belariath with magic, after all.


Any who wields enchanted armaments, any who dabbles in spellweaves both basic and advance, anyone can gift her their worship. She cares little for race or creed, as long as they understand and follow the basic laws that bind magic to the world of Belariath.

Place of Worship:

Either Unigo or Umbara can be used to pay homage to the Mage Goddess, she cares not for the reasons why Magic is called upon, simply the fact that it is being called upon. To a lesser extent, anywhere can be a place of worship. Any time a spell is cast, any time a ritual is laid out, regardless of which other deitys name is called, it is giving thanks to Her. Rituals and offerings must be done at either Unigo or Umbara. Likewise, going to the Magi capitol of Stregos, one could also worship Morpheous directly at her citadel.

What is considered an Offering?:

Magical knowledge. The creation of a new spellweave, enchantment or the like, a copy of it gifted to Morpheous to keep within the library upon the floating contential mass. Though, she has a certain fetish for items liberated from other religions. Perhaps she's wishing to know more of the others like her, a higher power, gods and goddesses, and to learn those things, she needs items gifted with their touch. She is also keen on Secrets. Simple secrets will not suffice. These are the secrets that are life-altering and mind-bending. To learn of some great beasts weakness, to learn of the skeletons hiding within a Nobles closet.

I only am putting this here for your reference, as I'm unsure you came across it yet. Here you have their history.

Yep! I read that, and it's really well written, didn't see any reason to try and change/modify the history.
