Eurus Tuomi
Structure
The Tuomi's structure is intertwined with the Grand Temple of Denev. The company is hierarchical with members growing in stature as their learning of the teachings of Denev grow. Some lower-ranking members have more political, mercantile or magical power than their rank suggests. These member's opinions hold less value in meetings as they have less of a connection with the great plan of Denev.
Public Agenda
The moral protection of the Varisian people and Alphatian Isle as dictated by the tenets of Denev and her grand family.
Divine Origins
Formed at the creation of the Grand Temple of Water, the Eurus Tuomi recognised none of the original ship families instead drawing the most devote followers of Denev to its organisation. The original sects of the organisation created around aspects of the sea and Denev's wisdom morphed into family groups named after great heroes that had sought enlightenment through the teachings.
Cosmological Views
The Grand Temple considers that Denev is the greatest of the Varisian cosmos and all the other gods mere shadows of her wondrous teaching. While Tempiu àidii has temples to all of the gods, Denev's presence can be seen in each of them as a mother, lover, friend and wise counsel. As the water shapes, the rock so does Denev shape her pantheon.
