Caritas

THE GOD OF COMPASSION, CHARITY, FAMILY, KINSHIP AND HOME

ALIGNMENT: LAWFUL GOOD Caritas is a god beloved by all, but not much particularly cared for. She is a somewhat passive and inactive god, though her effects across the world are known to all, she doesn't particularly see to this directly. As such, most of what is known to her is traditional oral information. She is said to be a god that the Leonin most revere, and they tend to follow extensively in her example, being a noble, charitable folk, in contrast to their Dragonborn neighbours in the south, whom don't really seem to acknowledge her existence much at all.

More and more theories are being brought up that Caritas is not at all a god, but an imagination born out of the Leonin's emotions, who conveyed it as being the power and radiance of a deity fulfilling them. Only the gods know for sure.

Her influence is rather obvious, but ironically, she answers no one in their prayers, and seems to work indirectly.

Her greatest enemies are said to be those proud who cause suffering, enslavement, and shun the poor or the weak.



A Tune for Caritas

Mother of Charity,

Thank you for all that you have bestowed upon us,

May my brothers and sisters thrive,

And may my family retain its kinship, and my home its hearth.

EFFECTS OF WORSHIP

As Caritas does not really respond to any conventional worship, plea, or otherwise actions, it isn't really possible to gain her favour or attention. The Leonin say, however, that if you live a life of nobility and charity, you will gain Caritas's blessing.
