Riaghail
Riaghail is the god of life, peace and prosperity. He represents the simple joys of humble life.
Labor for a better tomorrow. With honest work and a hopeful heart, there no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Do not give way to in to apathy.
Show generosity. Share the fruits of your labor with your fellow kith, and you will always have a friend in time of need. To hoard your wealth is disgraceful.
Seek no quarrel. Do no harm to others, and forgive those who seek forgiveness. If you bring misery to fellow kith, you must atone for your misdeeds.
Treat animals with kindness. Whether they be creatures of the woods or beasts of burden, do not cause undue suffering to animals. Such acts bring woe to the world, and ruin the soul with cruelty.

Riaghail is the patron of peace and plenty. He is most favored by peasants, who bring gifts to his altars in hopes of peaceful times and good harvest. He is a popular and benign god.
