AGOT: Alternative History – Solar Faiths
In many mythologies people pay respect to the sun. The sun appears to be a multilayered figure, whether as visible deity or as all-seeing celestial eye, radiant divine child born every day on the east horizon or steady leader of the heavenly cycle and universal protector.
This is a light sub-mod which incorporates non-canonical aspects of solar and other celestial cults and folklore into established A Song of Ice and Fire religious lore.
Compared to the previous version – up to CK3AGOT build 0.3.14 – significant changes have been made to the sub-mod structure.
Also, brand new content regarding lunar faiths has been added due to popular demand. Rejoice, you lovers of the silver glow in the night sky!
In addition, aspects that highlight the darker side of celestial phenomena are also included, by introducing umbral faiths. Even the sun, the moon, and the brightest stars can be cast into shadow (in events such as an eclipse), making it clear that the true sources of existence don’t correspond to the familiar notions of harmonious order.
