Divine Symbols & Sigils
Reversal of Natural Order (But Not in Defiance)
In most cultures, an hourglass flowing down represents the inevitable passage of time and life slipping away. Nalthune’s hourglass flows up to represent return, not loss. It’s a symbol of:
- The soul ascending after death, not falling into oblivion.
- Death as a reversal to the beginning—a return to the source, or to peace.
- A reminder that she doesn't take life in anger, but gently draws it home.
Silver Sand – Purity & Transition
Silver is a metal often associated with the moon, the veil, and dreams—all things that connect to the in-between and the soul’s quiet journey. The sand being silver shows the purity of the soul, washed clean in death. It's also reflective—suggesting remembrance and reflection, a key aspect of her followers' philosophy.
Symbol of Defying Fear of Death
Nalthune’s followers don’t see death as an end to be dreaded. The hourglass flowing up is meant to be soothing, not ominous. To them, it means “your time is not running out—it is returning to its keeper.” It's a visual prayer: may your soul rise, may your end be peace.
Tenets of Faith
Life blooms outward. Death folds inward. Both are sacred
Death is Not to Be Feared, Nor Rushed
Nalthune’s followers believe that death is a sacred transition—not a punishment, not an escape, but a homecoming. Suicide is treated with deep compassion, but not encouraged; a soul should only return when its thread is truly ready. Undeath is considered a violation unless it is a blessing from Nalthune herself (extremely rare, and never permanent).
The Body is a Vessel, the Soul is Eternal
Corpses are treated with dignity, but elaborate tombs or clinging to the dead are discouraged. The soul has already moved on. The dead are washed, dressed in white or gray, and burned or buried in silence.
Peace Over Passion
Followers value calm, empathy, and patience. Anger is not part of death; grief is sacred, but vengeance is not theirs to carry.
The Living Must Learn to Let Go
A major tenet. The living are gently taught to release their attachments and prepare their souls for the end—"not to die, but to rest."
