Path Skills: Culture, Survival
Virtues: Found and Wayward
Scent of the Divine: Rich, loamy earth; the rustling of dried, cracked leaves in autumn
Bogovi Motif
Through acting in accordance with one’s true nature, one may wield the power of Rod and work miracles. For ages, the Bogovi have stood at the crossroads of civilization, enduring endless trespasses by enemy Gods, conquerors, and foreign explorers. Dvoeverie, literally meaning double-faith, represents the pantheon’s ability to not only adapt to these foreign ideas while remaining true to themselves, but to reconcile their own dualistic nature and the extremes of personality that they endure.
Bogovi Signature Purview: Dvoeverie
Dvoeverie Innate Power
You may communicate with virtually anyone or anything, regardless of linguistic barriers; the character only suffers Complication 1 on any resulting rolls. This even applies to inanimate objects of an organic nature, such as plant life, though they will only have an opinion on topics of import to them (i.e. a tree could communicate concern about a Scion with Fire Dominion in the forest, or how much sun it’s been getting, but couldn’t answer ques- tions of a temporal nature or the details of a search party in the forest). In addition, you may immediately scrutinize the Virtues of other beings once their divine nature has been revealed to you, and the innate meaning and conflict inherent to those Virtues. When you resolve the Virtuous Condition, regain a point of Legend.
Bogovi, of the Slavs
Found vs. Wayward
To be found, to greet the day, is to embrace one’s nature, and to find one’s self. The Bogovi become world-weary and melancholic, falling into a black mood that permeates their every action. To be wayward is to act against one’s nature — sometimes against one’s own self-interests, and sometimes against the interests of others, for selfish and destructive impulses belong to the wayward path.
