4. Dogma & Worship (The Core Beliefs)

• Core Dogma (The Philosophy): "Magic is a community. No wizard is an island. Your destiny is not a solitary path, but a road you build with others. Be sincere in your actions; there is no good in pretending to be something you are not. Do what you do for the world, for the people. They need your magic, even if they don't know it."

• Tenets for Followers (The "Thou Shalt"s):

  • "Be sincere. Accept yourself, and accept others for who they are, not for who you wish them to be."

  • "Build community. Share your magic, found a school, take an apprentice, or join a guild. Magic must be shared to grow."

  • "Follow your destiny. You have a higher calling; do not let others steer you from it."

  • "Be confident. Instill confidence in your allies. A "found family" is strongest when all members trust each other."

• Sins & Taboos (The "Thou Shalt Not"s):

  • "To be a hypocrite. To pretend to be something you are not is the greatest "sin.""

  • "To hoard magic for yourself. To be a "hermit-wizard" is a waste of your destiny."

  • "To abandon your "found family" (your party, your guild, your apprentices)."

  • "To be "boring" or let your destiny stagnate. (A minor "sin" reflecting her mortal personality)."

5. Relationships

• Superiors: Arcus (High God). Arcus is her "boss" and the "God of Pure Magic." Eisana is his "Major God" who organizes that magic into mortal society. She is the "Dean" of his "University." Their relationship is one of mutual, professional respect.

• Subordinates:

  • Corellon Larethian (Elves, Art, Magic)

  • Feta (Fortune, Prosperity)

  • Kayleth (Knowledge, Prophecy, Writing)

  • Reter (Trickery, Mischief, Murder)

  • Saraheniel (Nobility, Arcane Knowledge, Swordplay)

  • Sucar (Magic, Destruction)

  • Zaketrin (Exploration, Magic, Lore)

• Counterparts:

  • Edeven Spellweaver (Demigod of Arcus): Her husband. Edeven is a follower of her father's (Eisa's) carnal ways and has over 40 Aasimar children across the world. Eisana is not jealous; she is "sincere." She is aware of the man he is and accepts him, and in turn, "takes care of him" so that their bond remains the core of his life.

  • Vistoul (Major God): Her "co-worker." Vistoul manages the "Wild" magic. Eisana manages the "Civilized" magic.

  • Zaketrin (God): Her former mortal patron. Zaketrin is now her subordinate. This is an amicable, respectful relationship.

  • Eisa (God): Her father. This is a complex, but loving, relationship.

• Mortals: She is revered by all "guild" wizards, arcane tricksters, and magic-users who believe in destiny and community.

• Demigod Offspring:

  • Valeriana Spellweaver-Ilphelstacia (Arcana, Life)

6. The Church & Clergy

• Name of the Church: The Sincere Guild, The Community of the Bud.

• Worshipper Base: Wizards, sorcerers, arcane tricksters, apprentices, and leaders of magical communities.

• Clergy Structure: Academic and guild-based.

  • Acolytes: "Apprentices"

  • Priests: "Journeymen" or "Mentors"

  • Bishops: "Guildmasters" or "Deans"

• Temple Description: Temples are always wizarding schools, magical universities, or guildhalls. They are bustling, communal, and practical, with lecture halls, libraries, and dormitories.

• Rites & Rituals:

  • "The First Sincerity": The rite where an apprentice joins a guild, swearing to be "sincere" to their craft and their new "family."

  • "The Sharing of the Weave": A communal ritual of "cooperative spellcasting," where multiple wizards work together to achieve a single, powerful magical effect.

• Holy Days:

  • "Founder's Day": A day celebrating the founding of a guild or school, honoring the "community" of magic.

  • "The Budding": A day of "destiny," where new apprentices are accepted into the fold.

7. History & Lore

• The Ascension of the Trickster: The (true) story of her mortal life. Born a demigod of Eisa, she grew from a Level 3 Arcane Trickster / Level 17 Theurgist into the Goddess of Community and Wizardry. This is the "core parable" of her faith: "Destiny is not a straight line. It is a messy, communal, and sincere journey."

• The Sincere Marriage: A parable about her marriage to Edeven Spellweaver. It teaches that "true community" and "sincerity" are not about "forcing" others to be "perfect," but about "loving" them for "who they are." Her acceptance of Edeven's carnal nature is the ultimate expression of her "sincere" dogma.

• The Weave-Child (Valeriana): Eisana's unique conception fulfilled the Mandate in an unexpected way. She was indeed pregnant, but her body that housed the child was simultaneously the very fabric of the Weave itself. Valeriana was conceived in the Weave and experienced a gestation period connected to all mortals and gods. This connection allowed Valeriana to learn in two mortal years what would normally take centuries, granting her unique, innate knowledge.

• The Severance of the Arcane: During a recent adventure with her husband and brother-in-law, Eisana performed a miraculous feat. She physically separated a spellcaster's personal connection to the Weave, effectively rendering him permanently unable to use magic. This demonstrated a terrifying new level of control over Arcus's domain, proving her status as the Dean of Magic.
