Who Is Your Patron God
In the Dark World, patron Lesser Gods are reminders of your goals and offer protection and guidance on your way to meet them. One's patron God often changes many times throughout their life, and the significance of patronage means many different things to many different people. However, who am I to deny the human urge to sort ourselves into groups. Here's a quiz.
Please select an answer.
Pick a color:
What do you value most?
Pick an animal:
What do you need right now?
All the world's a stage. Where are you?
What do you fear most?
Let's take a pause from the metaphorical stuff. Just pick a domain you resonate with:
What objects do you like to carry with you?
Pick a humble power:
What do you hope to get out of your patron?
Your patron is the Harvestman.
You get some Horn Claws, a reminder for those who seek fate and fortune. May those who seek their fortune remember that there is one fate shared by all. May those with nothing left to seek meet the Threaded Hand fulfilled.
Horn Claws are often kept on a carabiner or a ring of some kind, since the more you collect, the greater your eventual fortune will be! They also come in fun different colors! Seems like whoever's selling them is seeking their fortune, as well.
Your patron is the Lord Between.
You get a Dandelion Note, a reminder for those who seek balance and self. May all who are searching find who they are and where they belong, and remember that often one cannot be found without the other.
It is hand carved and made from bone. This one is meant to be worn as a necklace, but they often are made without the leaf and can be used as a pin.
Your patron is Chaetognatha.
You get a Wind Worm, a reminder for those who seek freedom and faith. May those who seek freedom remember that they cannot do so alone. May those who believe not be ensnared by falsehood. If you need a cheaper, mass-produced substitute, blessing a worm on a string will do.
Your patron is the Rainbow Eater.
You get a Seed Ember, a reminder for those who seek beauty and strength. May those who seek beauty on the outside also find strength within. May those who want power remember why it is worth having.
The Rainbow Eater's followers are organized, mobile, and well-practiced in magic and their highly enchanted talismans reflect this. The Seed Ember is gently warm to the touch and can be used as a lighter.
Your patron is the Lady of the Levee.
You get an Ocean Lantern, a reminder for those who seek love and moderation. May those who love do so without destroying themselves. May those who seek to go without remember what makes life worth it.
The soft glow emitted by the marble grows stronger in the presence of water, and can be used for dowsing, or peaceful mood lighting.
Your patron is the Embraced.
You get a Crystal Willow, a reminder for those who seek wisdom and connection. May those who wish to be wise not fall prey to believing they are uniquely exceptional. May those who wish not to be alone remember to think for themselves.
You can crush the whole thing if you need to understand a language you don't speak in a pinch, or you can rip off its individual "leaves" and give them to your friends to create a short range radio substitute.
Your patron is Dolmin.
You get a Turtle Garden, a reminder for those who seek fortitude and forgiveness. May those who need to be brave know that bravery is stupidity without fear. May those who seek to forgive themselves and others know that it is an act that requires great courage.
Its legs are carved into loops so it can be worn on a belt or something similar. This one is particularly well-cared for and verdant, but for folks with a more active lifestyle, they can find lichen-only Turtle Gardens that can stand up to more wear and tear.
