Prince of Life

The Domain of Life encompasses all that is alive, from plants to humanoids and beasts. Though with the existence of the Nature Domain it most often still is used in context to refer to humanlike life.

The Life Domain focuses on keeping all manners of creatures alive, its clerics often are the best healers known in the lands and even the Aqarius Empire's Sages learn lessons from this domain every now and then, even though they have abandoned religion as a whole for their warfare. Paradoxcially the prince that governs this domain has its own brand of necromancy, that being the subtype of resurrection where a soul is snatched from the hands of death to be brought back to life.

Current Prince

As fate is a cruel mistress, the Princess of Life is known as Nara. Said according to historical accounts to be Aaron'sThe Prince of Death'sTwin sister. A young girl who lived every moment of her long life with joy and glee. Truly appreciating the live she was given for what it was. Upon her eventual demise at the hand of the reaper himself, the creator found it sound to grant her the powers of life to bring forth new life.

Common Worshippers

There are plenty of worshippers within this princes' domain. More often than not women, but male worshippers do also exist. There is no racial bias when it comes to this domain though it more often than not is revered by those of a good alignment over neutrality or the cold-hearted evil folk.

Religion

There are a handful of organised religions that put this Prince as its chief deity. Few temples exist to this prince but those which do often have prosperity and childbirth at its hearts. In holy artefacts which exist scarcely among the land she is often depicted as a naked woman with a perfect body and long flowing blonde hair and golden eyes. Religions that exist often have one or more of the following tenants:

Carnal Exaltation
The pleasures of the flesh are sublime in a way that transcends other earthly experiences, bringing us closer to the divine. We should glorify our sexual desires and seek out opportunities for us to fulfill them.
Polyamory
Our love for each other should be as unconditional as our god's love for us. We must cast away the outdated notions of one person owning the affections of another.
Sacred Childbirth
The places where mothers give birth must be cleansed and prepared with the proper rituals, in order to encourage the divine to grant us their blessing during childbirth.

Cultural

Cultures closely associated with the Prince of Life, or the 'Mother of All' as the cultures tend to more often refer to her often allow full blown polygamy and though they do not shun those who decide to take on a single partner for life, it is still seen as a waste of ones potential. These cultures tend to be very communal, with public displays of affection being common place.

Though most that follow cultures and religions with this princes' influences respect all forms of life, they are also among the most accepting out outsiders and other faiths. Though they may attempt to convince you otherwise they likely never take refusal personally.
