Morrígan
Weakness. A pitiable truth of the world. Weakness pervades us all. We are all born of weakness. From the moment an infant cries, they are weak. They require care and love, for they are fragile. They deserve the best life, the fairest life, just as adults themselves do. And they deserve those of authority who will care for them. Children are weak. We are not.
I strive for that strength. I combat against that weakness. I seek only to ensure that those who struggle will be fulfilled. I will protect. I will bring together. And I will allow us to hold.
I had sisters. They left me, and that is okay. It is a result of my weakness, and also what gives me my strength. Because it was I that took my first steps toward the justice we held dear. None of us are indebted to a fate worse than death; we can all change. And so I step forward to. I step forward to seek that justice, in whatever form it may remain in this broken world. The only question that remains is whether you wish to see it with me?

Holidays
Platinum Week: Originally called The Common Week, Platinum Week is a series of holidays worshiped by most humanoid cultures. The holiday originally came form Elven culture, featuring the following holidays:
- The Day of Respect: This was a day chosen as a moment for citizenry to show respect to their emperor and authorities. In practice, this was usually a day of parades, which often gave way to public feasts. Acts of charity were highly valued as a moral good on this day, and individuals were encouraged to serve their kingdom or empire for the unity it provided them.
- The Day of Reverence: This was a day to honor the fallen or injured. This was largely directed as soldiers, knights, or those lost in warfare, but was eventually expanded to include victims of monster attacks or murders, as well as those who suffered disabilities out of their control. Families were encouraged to seek out publicly honor soldiers and local heroes in their community, and do favors throughout the community as acts of kindness and charity.
- The Day of Rest: This was a day originally reserved for Elven meditation. But as empires grew to accommodate other cultures, the view shifted instead to be a day of rest and relaxation for all from general work. For citizens or serfs, this meant a day without consequence, to play in nature or tend to one's personal hobbies; for indentured servants, they were usually requested of less, and given time to restore themselves and their spirits; for slaves, it was encouraged for slave-owners to be lenient for a day, and encourage slaves to perform less tasks than normal, especially taxing or grueling labor.
- The Day of Revival: This was a day originally to honor Elven children, particularly due to the long cycle of reincarnation in Elvish society, and the joy of celebrating the brief beauty of childhood. It frequently featured parades, street performances, and child-oriented activities such as scavenger hunts. This is frequently the most popular day in Platinum Week across cultures, and even those who did not typically celebrate Platinum Week - such as Tieflings, Dragonborn, or Orcs - would celebrate this day specifically.

Personal history
Morrígan, formerly Decima of The Triad, was the central figure in a group of triplet gods dedicated to justice. Weakened by the growing Chaos during the 6th Age, they found themselves confronted by Tyrant, the Demon King. Confronted first, Morrígan was bested in combat, and her bonds to her sisters removed. Always seen as the informal leader, the one who directed the others, she was also first to ascend. She now stands independent, serving Unmei. She holds many of her former ideals as The Triad: Fairness for all who follow the light of the law, Guardianship for those who need it (with a special heart toward those who are giving their service to greater causes), and as a god of Sovereignty, defending structures of law and those who enforce it.
Morrígan is most popularly worshipped by both serfs/apprentices and nobles, particularly within Human, Dragonborn, and Dwarvish societies. Commoners tend to worship Morrígan for her focus on fairness, particularly in legal affairs, and her guardianship, so that they do not incur the wrath of a noble; nobles worship Morrígan largely for stability in their nations, and to resist social pressure, rioting, or toppling of nations at the hands of threats foreign and domestic. Morrígan is also worshiped by knights and soldiers, who find the views of Morrígan valuable as a code of ethics and chivalry.
