Sulvath

Daemon

Domain: love, beauty, desire; dead cohort (Golden Age); goddess of the arts and intimate life of the Golden Age.

Type
Daemon

Domains: Love, beauty, desire.

Era of ascension: Golden Age of Man (~140,000 years ago). Cohort: dead. Died: God War & Long Winter (~75,000 years ago), when the Long Winter destroyed the material and cultural conditions in which art, beauty, and intimate life could flourish.

Worshipped by: Artists, poets, lovers, and the urban classes of the Golden Age civilizations — cultures prosperous enough to invest in beauty as a value. No living culture maintains her worship. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)

Sulvath's following was concentrated in the most prosperous centers of the Golden Age — the cities, the courts, the places with surplus enough for art. This made her susceptible: when the Long Winter destroyed those centers, her base collapsed with the civilization itself. She was, in a sense, the first casualty of the Long Winter's effect on culture, even if her actual death followed the agricultural collapse.
