Otarus

Otarus, often referred to as The Peacekeeper, is one of the major deities on the planet of Sprin'Torel. They stand as one of the pillars in the pantheon, often prayed for alongside Wedjun by people in times of battle, though instead of for safety, they are asked to bring a swift end to the war.

Unlike Wedjun, however, people are much more likely to worship Otarus even in times of peace, praying that they can stay that way. Following from that, even those who do not follow Otarus devoutly tend to pray for their blessing almost daily, hoping that they can grant them their peace.

Worshipers
Though Otarus' followers are peacekeepers, following from Otarus, there is often a lot of conflict over how this ought to be done. While some try to keep the peace by policing them with many of them joining the Gold Helms, some think that this is unnecessarily violent and that they must set an example for the people around them.

Clerics
Otarus' clerics tend to be split down the middle, wanting to set an example while still punishing those who seek to be violent for violence's sake. This behaviour gave the reputation of being as harsh as they are caring, creating a sense of trust in those who did good while striking fear in the hearts of war profiteers.

Orders

 * Peace Keepers
 * The Peace Keepers are a more extreme vigilante organisation who tend to bring about peace by punishing those who would seek to do harm to others. While many in the Gold Helms believe that this order should be put down, they have a difficult time stopping this organisation given the religious belief pushing them forward. As such, they are given almost full right to run freely, though they still act carefully to avoid getting arrested.


 * Silver Hearts
 * While some claim that the Silver Hearts are merely the other side of the coin to the Peace Keepers, the Silver Hearts swore a vow of pacifism. Unlike the Peace Keepers, the Silver Hearts yearn to create peace by working between conflicting groups to come to a compromise, or by doing charity work to prevent issues before they have a chance to arise.

Rites
As with all other religions, the worship of Otarus involves many rituals and rites. While these are mostly for the sake of preserving peace, there are also plenty for bringing about a sense of tranquility. Below is an example of a prayer to Otarus:"'Almighty Otarus, from whom all thoughts of peace proceed, kindle in the hearts of all men the true love of peace, and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who make decisions for the nations of Sprin'Torel; that in tranquility your will may go forward, till Sprin'Torel be filled with the knowledge of your love.'"
