| Description: | Putrexia is the half-sister of Keeerani and a daughter of Ulogi by a mortal woman. Her sobriquet (The Sloth Goddess) is well deserved for the goddess is always sleeping and will only awaken in the most pressing of situations and even then her attention is not assured. This constant sleepfulness has two major consequences. First, almost none of her priests have spell casting ability (at least not channeling magic), and second, her followers are divided into two diametrically opposed factions.
One faction holds that Putrexia is an example and that men should strive to do nothing. These followers tend to be the lazy rejects of society looking for an excuse to do nothing.
The second faction holds that Putrexia’s non-involvement in human affairs indicates that men should be more independent and not rely on gods to sort out their troubles. It is this faction that is the more predominant. The famous watchwords of this faction are Do it yourself, Amen. It is thought that the phrase was originally begun as a slight against the followers of Putrexia, but was taken up as their battle cry when it was discovered how appropriate it was.
The Daughters of Putrexia, more commonly known as the Daughters of the Sloth, is a quasi-secret society based in Blue Mountain. It is rumored to consist of many powerful and influential women from many cities. Other than its existence, however, very little is know of the goals and means of the society. |
