The House of Life
"From tiny seeds grow mighty trees" ~NathanSanto
Description[1]
The House of Life channels the Essence that gives all living things their power, their spark. From tiny seeds grow great trees, they say. They worship a Goddess they call the Mother of Life. She is more than a Titan; more than even a god really, something much more. The Champions of the House of Life often call on her power, to give them strength, or even resurrection after defeat.”
“Its adherents are friendly. Even upbeat. They value honor above all else. They strive to bring glory to their House and to the Mother goddess. And she in turn smiles on them. The Temple itself is a true work of art. One cannot help feel the swell of life itself when one enters, like waking up on a beautiful summer morning.”
The House of Life considers gladiatorial combat a way to bring honor to house and home. [2]
