![]() | Luchezara Some theologians believe that the image of Luchezara represents how the ancient northerners, particularly the Refites, envisioned the goddess of chaos, Risha. Others believe that Luchezara was one of the ancient wise women of the north who, like Semy, overcame the limitations of her own flesh and achieved divine status. Due to a lack of historical information and the small number of followers of this goddess that remain today, the details of her origins and the specifics of her cult remain not fully understood. It is known that, like the Moon, she was gradually supplanted by the Orion Church. The followers of Luchezara completely reject hierarchy, and in their worldview, the image of the goddess is used as an ideal of freedom and something to strive for both in personal life and in society – this means the absence of superiors, freedom of thought, orders based on voluntary relationships, and so on. Historians note that it was precisely because of this lifestyle that the settlements of Luchezara's followers were destroyed by more organized northern forces. Another important element of the philosophy of this cult is the concept of "opening your eyes quickly and your mouth slowly," that is, the need to base one's judgments on objective facts, not participate in the spread of gossip, and not accept other people's thoughts as truth. They also despise inaction and laziness. Luchezara ✦ Freeze (passive effect on melee weapons and crossbows/bows/magic staves). 1.
