The Poor Man
Human god of the poor, work and home life.
The Poor Man
To labour in the field or mill,
Through daytime heat or nighttime chill
Can feel like pushing rocks uphill
But we know the Poor Man's drill.Work is the Poor Man's concern
We never shirk, The Loyal Shall Earn
Each of the family in turn
To the Garden we will go.The Poor Man's verse from The Song of the Eight.
Divine Domains
The Poor Man's alignment is True Neutral, and his portfolio includes the poor, work and home life. His cleric domains are Community, Earth, Family, Home, Loyalty, Resolve, Strength, Toil and his favoured weapon is the Spear.
As one of the Eight Human gods, his followers expect to go to the Garden Beyond the Stars when they die, although it is uncertain whether he will be there to meet them in the Garden. Since the Eight are less personal than the Survivor deities, it is unclear whether they reside in the Garden themselves or merely guide their followers to it without any form of personal interaction.
