• Veris: a young god allegedly born of human's ambition rather than Eylathir, though its true origin remains a mystery. Often portrayed as a battle-scarred humanoid whose glowing wounds never heal.
• Verism: the official religion of Hierosalem, patriarchal, disciplined, rationalist, hornoring Veris as the savior of mankind. Devotees purge infidels and other gods through wars.

[Backstory]

• Born in poverty, Cassian escaped his miserable home as soon as he could, leaving his ill mother and young brother Noctus as a teen and vanishing into the depths of the church, where power disguised as holiness. He clawed his way up with nothing but charm, ruthlessness, and a mask of feverent piety, while shamelessly selling his beauty for support in secret chambers. Now, as an archpriest, nothing—not love, not blood, not even god itself—will halt his greed for ascent.
