[/List] [U]Domain/s[/U] [List] [*]Ein Sof holds dominion over the domains of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. [/List] [U]Personality/Alignment[/U] [List] [*]In the most simple terms, Ein Sof is truly neutral. The true manifestation of the land, water, and air that make up the material plane. It is through Ein Sof that all things of the material plane came to be. Ein Sof feels all that occurs upon its realm. From every fallen tree and every chicken slaughtered. Every drop blood spilt and every stone thrown. The good and the evil, for better or for worse - Ein Sof is all knowing and within his realm, all powerful. Ein Sof values balance whether good or evil with no true favor towards one or the other. One might conclude that Ein Sof would prefer those who do good over evil. However, this conclusion would be wrong for without balance good or evil may become a force of oppression and tyranny. Ein Sof respects those who reap what they sow and return what they take. For Ein Sof is from life had once came and where life will ultimately return to await fruit grown from the flowering stems within Ein Sof’s bountiful canopy. While Ein Sof values life over death, it is the balance of that life and death in which it values more. When the scales are tipped to favor one extreme or the other Ein Sof cannot thrive. If its influence cannot be exploited to allow for mortals to correct the scales, Ein Sof will enlist it’s terribly terrific power over the elements bring down mountains and flooding entire valleys to ensure balance is maintained. For the only absolute is that there are no absolutes - for should the Infinite wither to a husk it shall speak the end of the material plane as it is known until a new sprout springs forth from the barren waste to produce life anew. Ein Sof appreciates this most of all - that all things must come to an end even itself. [/List] [U]Relations[/U] [List] [*]Ein Sof does not have direct interaction with the other twelve deities of the common pantheon. Ein Sof’s existence is to play a role in the struggle of power between those deities, a battle field where the mortals of Ein Sof are watched as if pieces on a chessboard. While Ein Sof has knowledge of the remaining pantheon, its interaction is truly nonexistent and for all extensive purposes Ein Sof is at the very mercy of the remaining deities. Ein Sof is both subservient to all and yet in open rebellion against all as well. While the pantheon sits and watches the game carry-on, little do they comprehend the sentient involvement that Ein Sof maintains a stranglehold over. Ein Sof has no direct interaction with the remaining pantheon but must share information through prophets or oracles. It is through these prophets or oracles that the deities interact with Ein Sof, which they may only do on the material plane. In this way, Ein Sof rules over all. [/List] [U]Commandments/Laws[/U] [List] [*] One must return what is taken. [*] One must reap what they sow, in order to prevent waste. [*] Life must be returned to the soil so that it may be returned to from where it once came. [/List] [U]Parishioners/Common Practices[/U] [List] [*]Ein Sof has no particular type of person who is more likely to worship the divine being than any other. People of all races, occupations, classes, and regions are likely to worship Ein Sof, more so than any other in this the Time of Darkness. People have turned to Ein Sof as the other deities have abstained from direct contact with their followers. The people believe that Ein Sof is the only one who answer their prayers as the natural effects of the material plane speak volumes. Parishioners pay homage to Ein Sof by following the beings commandments, treating the land and its fruits with respect and love. Often times, active parishioners will have a small trees, finely trimmed and very well maintained in their yards, which are used as shrines to the deity. It is here that tribute is paid in the form of sustenance in which to feed the beings spirit. The bodies of the dead after provided proper funeral rites may being must be buried before decay begins to set in and protected from the desecration of animals to be returned to the source of all life to be born once again.
