Faith of the Sun

Description
The Faith of the Sun is a religion from Molgatta, which reveres the Sun for it's banishment of the Monsters which roam during the night.

The Faith of the Sun is the most present religion in Molgatta, which churches across the continent. The faithful revere the sun, as it provides energy, guidance and protection to all life. The Sun is spoken of not as a person, but rather a force of nature. (Think like the Force.) It is believed by the faithful to the sun, that they are fighting a constant war against the night, and the forces of evil as a whole. Though what they consider to be evil is at times, inconsistent.

Sacred Items and Taboos
The Faithful to the Sun will often carry Sun-shaped amulets. The symbol of a rising sun is thought to represent hope, the coming of dawn and the banishment of evil. The Symbol of a whole, risen Sun, is considered to represent strength, and heroism. Any symbology of the sun must not be covered, as this is considered to bring very poor luck, save for in books. While the moon is not considered to be malevolent, it is seen as a harbinger for evil, a messenger. Moonlight is not considered holy or sacred, as the light of the Sun is. Those faithful to the Sun are generally expected to express piety, kindness and forgiveness. The sun gives all life a chance to flourish, that which is not born in the light of the sun is no friend to the faithful.

Vestiments and Equipment
Given the expansive reach of the Faith, Paladins of the Faith of the Sun are considerably better equipped than Sentinels of the Mother. Usually, a Paladin will be adorned in plate armor, and typically awarded with some form of military rank by their home kingdom for their service to the people. Those faithful to the Sun are most commonly dressed in White, Gold and Orange.

Prayers and Rituals
Those faithful to the Sun pray only when the Sun's light shines upon them, usually during sunrise or sunset. It is considered ill-mannered to pray for one's own gain, as opposed to the safety or fortune of a loved one, or friend.
