The Titan Prometheus
used his gift of foresight to aid the Olympians in their fight against his
brothers and sisters. In exchange,
Zeus did not imprison him with the other Titans. Later, Prometheus brought fire from Olympus and gave it to mankind
against the will of Zeus. In
punishment, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock to have his liver ripped out daily
by a giant eagle.
Dogma
Prometheus is honored
among his supplicants as a saviour from the darkness and a giver of life. His worshippers believe that the gods are the origin of all suffering and
that one day Prometheus shall escape his bonds and free mankind from divine servitude. Prometheus will become
as man and shall reign among them as king. Prometheus expects those that honor him to treat their fellows with
kindness and respect; to not inflict suffering upon others but learn what can be
learned by one’s own tribulations.
Clergy
Clerics of Prometheus
shun raiment that separates them from the rest of Prometheus’ followers,
though whenever they are performing in a religious capacity they carry lit torches. Labeled a cult by the
Orthodox Latinian Church, Prometheus’ clergy actively denounce the Olympian
deities and are often argumentative and aggressive towards other clergy. They work to free those among the flock who have been imprisoned and are
vigilant in aiding those in need. Many
of Prometheus’ clerics spend their lifetime searching for the means and
methods by which they can release their deity from his torment.
