Vitalis

Vitalis is the god of life and renewal. together with Mortis (death and the end)), Tempist (Time) and Erit (Matter) she forms the Four Pillars of Existence, the highest form of godhood possible.

Vitalis is a neutral god, often being seen as a representation of good, the source of light and renewal combating the death and the end.

She is also called: Life, The Beginning, The First One, The Renewal, Hope, The Mother.

Vitalis constantly fights for life to continue. She allows good and evil to enter the world for everything and everyone should have a chance to thrive, grow, learn and possibly change it's ways to a path next generations. Life itself is worth living, a purpose can't be given by the enabler, for the living should be able to choose for themselves. Any life is valuable, for anyone get's the chance to return to the light, no matter how dark the direction taken. This also makes her probably the most naive god of them all, but one that gives hope to the hopeless and thus opportunities for anyone.

Singes of Vitalis

In different culture Vitalis has different Symbols representing her:

A Heart, The Color Green, The Color Red, A Tree, a Seed or other plant life.

Quotes:

Life means "Opportunity".

A spark of life may turn into a wildfire but it must be cared for. Otherwise the darkness takes over

Life happens, whether you see it or not.

Would I understand, cherish, believe or know what "Life" means, I'd be a god myself.

Every life created is a step on the road to eternity.

Those who bring life into this world will not fear the end but will know, that the torch will continue to burn, to lighten up the dark, giving hope to a new dawn that might last forever.

Common Folk

Life fin's it's ways. Vitalis welcomes every new soul in this wirld with good fortune with hope and opportunity, no matter the circumstances. Those who disrespect life though will be denied the path to eternal bliss - Elysium. A harsh punishment from a goddess so pure, even though she speaks the sentence in tears.

Celestials

Contrarry to common believe Vitalis is not the goddess of celestials. Quite the contrary. Dying with any other goal in mind but to leave the world for new generations is counted as hubris. Nontheless, the goal to protect new generations allignes with her Commandmends so she challenges those who decide to remain in the upper planes to prove their pure intentions. Selfishness among the holy can't save them to be denied the final freedom in Elysium, for Vitalis knows that everything that does not choose eternal peace has still a seed of sin left. She is harsh when it comes to the denial of her good intentions and those who deem themselves important enough to remain.

Priests, Paladins,Rangers, Clerics and other believers

Followers of Vitalis are filled with empathy, tolerance and hope to the point that they are not comparable with the real world. In the darkest hours they motivate those around them to picture a new dawn, even in presumably unwinnable situations. A child born during a siege for example is seen as a sign of victory, no matter the odds. Followers of Vitalis always see "the good" in anything and will hope the best for even the most viscous being, even though it means, that this being get's more chances to defy all Vitalis stands for.

The Blessings/Cursees of Mortis

Vitalis grants boons to individuals but it is impossible to tell blessing from curse.

Life Bond: Connecting two lives so that both will share their combined life-pool.

Destined to Live: A creature is bound to be born again, wayting in Elysium, tasting the nectar of true peace. Resurrecting it is very easy since the soul is sentenced to wait until it happens. The ones coming back seem to want to go back though desperately, but there is no guaranty for them, since it was just a temporary situation.

Entrance to Elysium: Those who are deemed worthy will be send to Elysium, the only real paradise in existence.
