Holy Symbol

Rhosin's holy symbol is an open eye set within a crescent moon, surrounded by shimmering stars and swirling dream-like patterns.

Core Tenets

1. Follow the Dream's Call. Pay attention to dreams and visions -- they are guides from beyond, offering insight and wisdom.

3. Embrace the Unknown. Step into the unknown with courage, for only through mystery can the deepest truths be revealed.
4. Weave Hope into the Tapestry. Where there is despair, offer hope through inspiration, art, and shared stories.

Church Structure

Presence Across the World

The faith of Rhosin is most active in mystical regions like the Starlit Reaches, Moonshadow Vale, and Aurensul's Hidden Archives. Her followers are often dreamwalkers, mystics, and bards who serve as guides, artists, and spiritual counselors.

Relationship with Other Faiths

Rhosin's faith works closely with the followers of Valkyr (fate and time) and Elora (knowledge and arcana), sharing a mutual respect for destiny's mysteries. However, her followers are often at odds with the worshipers of Naeris (secrets and shadows), whose hoarding of knowledge goes against Rhosin's call to share inspiration.

Modern Challenges

With the gods' withdrawal, Rhosin's followers face unique struggles:

• Shattered Prophecies. Many ancient visions were lost or corrupted after the gods' departure.
• False Visions. Dark powers have begun to invade the dream realm, offering twisted prophecies to mortals.
• Fading Hope. With war and strife ever-present, spreading hope and guidance has become an increasingly difficult task.

About Rhosin

Rhosin, the Goddess of Dreams and Destiny, governs the hidden paths of fate revealed through visions, dreams, and prophecy. She is the bridge between the conscious world and the mystical realm of possibility, where destinies are shaped and futures are whispered. Rhosin is a guide, not a dictator of fate -- her visions are cryptic, layered with meaning, and often leave room for interpretation. Those who follow her teachings seek insight, inspiration, and the courage to pursue their destined path.

Rhosin is depicted as an ethereal, graceful figure wrapped in flowing robes of midnight blue, silver, and deep violet, shimmering like the night sky. Her hair flows like a cascade of stars, and her eyes glow softly with the infinite potential of unrealized futures. She carries Somniel's Lantern, which casts light through the mists of the unknown, illuminating both hope and fear.

Rhosin's faith endures through dreams, stories, and the ever-unfolding paths of destiny. Her followers remind the world that even in the darkest night, the light of possibility shines through, revealing futures yet unwritten.

"Every dream is a path; every choice, a step toward destiny."
