Fortissimus, God of Fire

His are the domains of Sun, Glory, Fire, Law, and Good.

The followers of Fortissimus are called Sol Invictus- the Unconquerable Sun. They have built great buildings of worship, called templum ignis- Fire Temples. Inside these the faithful gather to hear the will of Fortissimus, to hear lectures and sermons, and to raise their voices as one in a great prayer to feed Him.They sing and pray in Ingan, though few worshippers ever realize that they speak a planar language. Rather, they call it the Lingue Sanctae, the Sacred Tongue. Finally, they have the Ingem Purgantem, the Cleansing Fire, a holy book written by the prophet Miktal Firetounge. It is divided into nine chapters, called books, that are often quoted.   The Book of the Spark: This section details stories of great heroes who served Fortissimus, this section of the book is often distributed in Common. Each story tends to have an underlying message. The stories within are often called Parables, the most famous of which is the Parable of the Stag Hunt.   The Book of Judgements: The Book of Judgements details select prophecies, the most famous of which is “Let my angels be as warrior-shepherds among the flock, that they may bring justice to the downtrodden, and rain fury upon those who sin. Judgements 4:13”.   The Book of Promises: This part of the book details the afterlife one might live if they serve faithfully.   The Book of Commandments: This book outlines the tenets of the Faith   The Book of the Prophets: This book outlines the major prophecies of the Faith, namely the New Dawn, the fables rebirth of Fortissimus as a mortal who will chase the darkness from the world.   The Book of the Clerics: This book names the Faithful’s spells and indicates how the Blessed should cast them. An example: (Summon Monster- Astral Deva Angel (Which, for the record, is the longest spell in the book)) *Holding out one’s holy symbol to the heavens* “Wardens of Order and Guardians on High, heed my call! In the Lightbringer’s name I summon thee! Down the unworthy, O Angel of Justice!”   The Book of the Songs: The book outlining the prayers of the Faithful   The Book of the Commons: The final book outlines how Faithful should act in their daily lives, especially those who are not of the Order of the Sun

The Sol Invictus hold the blazing sun as a symbol. Longswords are considered warriors of holy men, and lions are sacred to the Lightbringer.

You shall not speak my name to any outside the Faith   You shall not harm the brothers and sisters of the Faith   You shall not deny hospitality to my blessed champions of the Faith   You shall teach your children the Lingue Sanctae so they may hear the teachings of the Faith   You shall not fornicate with enemies of the Faith   You shall not eat the flesh or wear the skins of lions, as they are symbols of the Faith   You shall not take to your bed any but your wife or husband, and if you do so you must leave the Faith   You shall not harm children of My enemies, instead convert them to the Faith   You must not allow your Nightfires to extinguish, lest you weaken the Faith
