The Twelve Passions

The people of Barsaive worship "The Twelve Passions." Much like the gods of Greek Mythology, the Passions are personifications of virtues and (in the case of mad Passions) vices. It was the Scourge that caused three of the Passions to go mad. The adventure in the second half of this city setting will present the players with an opportunity to begin an ancient ritual known as "The Healing of the Passions."

The Twelve Passions are:

ASTENDAR: Love, Art, Music
CHORRIOLIS: Wealth, Trade, Jealousy, Desire
DIS*: Slavery, Bureaucracy
FLORANUUS: Revelry, Energy, Victory, Motion
GARLEN: Hearth and Healing
JASPREE: Growth, care of the land, Love of the wilderness
LOCHOST: Freedom, Rebellion, Change
MYNBRUJE: Justice, Compassion, Truth, Empathy
RAGGOK*: Vengeance, Bitterness, Jealousy
THYSTONIUS: Physical Conflict, War
UPANDAL: Building, Construction, Planning
VESTRIAL*: Deceit, Manipulation
