Siger’Alst’s Divine Realm is a plane of fire, porous stone, and twisting spires. Pools of colorful fire emit burning light though the fire of this realm burn not leaving injuries but burning away injuries, blemishes, restoring limbs, and fixing infirmities. The Old feel refresh, the Lame can walk, the deaf can hear, and the mute can speak. All injuries fade within the fiery hearth of Siger’Alst. 

Siger’Alst has several Artifacts of Power. He has six massive scimitars that burn with the power of Siger’s glory called the Eld’Dresch. He also has the Eye of Eternity which is a small micro-star which holds the power to reincarnate the dead back into life maintaining the previous life’s knowledge though it is used as the crown jewel on Siger’Alst’s head. The Scepter of Siger is a golden scepter with fire and plasma shaped into gemstone that decorate this gleaming artifact, it holds authority over all fire able to steal and control the fire of mages and gods though it bows before the might of Siger’Alst himself. 

Siger’Alst does not conform to the dreams and thoughts of the mortals below. He is a mountainous deity with sanguine flesh, six arms, and a mane and beard of fiery hair. Golden bangles cover his wrists and ankles, and chains of gold and silver twist across his muscular body, providing what little modesty this God allows. Six horns twist intricately from his head, forming a cradle for a miniature star – the Eye of Eternity. 

While Siger’Alst has the visage of a brutish creature, he prefers the pursuit of the intellectual. A dreamer and poet at heart believes that creatures are due an undeniable right to pursue their own will. He grants his divine followers power over fire, healing, augmented physical and mental attributes, protection magic, and, for a select few, the power to absorb the souls of the dead to bear them a new with all the memories of their lost lives.

Siger’Alst is worshipped by small sun cults, small groups of specialized healers, and those pursuing some degree of eternal life. His worshipers gather wherever they can whenever they can. Maintain secrecy to avoid the prosecution of those who follow the Fates. Followers burn their injuries which overtime will heal away all ailments. Siger’Alst temples are often built underground while his smaller shrines are made of glass, crystal, and obsidian on top of volcanos and mountains polished till they shine like second suns.
