H'roll

H'roll, also known as the Lord of the Cross, the Lord of X and the Giver, is a prominent god Across the Sea. He only has a few followers in Trost, where he is more commonly called the Gold God. His symbol is a wooden cross in the shape of an X.

Beliefs
The religion is based on a dualistic, manichean view of the world: H'roll, the god of light, heat, and life, and H'roll's antithesis the Dark One, the god of ice and death.

Clergy
Priests may be male or female. In the east, they are a common sight, where the faith of H'roll's influence is more widespread and children are sometimes given to temples of H'roll to be raised into the priesthood. The temples also buy children as slaves who are known as Slaves of H'roll and raise them as priests, temple prostitutes, or warriors.

Rituals
Every evening, priests light fires and sing prayers at their temples, asking H'roll to bring back the dawn. Followers often gaze into flames in an effort to receive visions of the future. It is believed that H'roll will occasionally answer the prayers of his followers by granting visions and abilities such as raising the dead, although this is highly disputed.
