Doctrine
Saeza embodies the restless spirit of discovery and the ever-changing nature of the self. Their presence can be felt in the pull of distant horizons, the first breath of spring after a long winter, and the whispered desire to seek what lies beyond. Saeza is both the hunger for understanding and the acceptance that no truth is ever fixed — a paradox of stability and fluidity. Theirs is the sacred charge of curiosity, urging all who follow to press forward, not out of greed, but out of devotion to the unfolding mysteries of the world.
Tenets of Faith
- To Wander is to Worship: Seek out the edges of what is known and never fear what lies beyond.
- Truth is a Horizon: No truth is ever final; embrace the shifting nature of knowledge and self.
- Give to Those Who Seek: Offer guidance to all who journey in earnest, regardless of their path.
- Hope is the First Seed: Guard the spark of hope in yourself and others, even in the darkest moments.
- Change is the Highest Truth: All things grow, all things wither, and all things bloom again.
Manifestations
There is a story passed quietly between wanderers — of a figure glimpsed at the edges of the world, where the sky bleeds into the earth. Saeza is never seen where certainty reigns, but in the liminal spaces where one step forward might change everything. They appear not as a fixed form, but as a flickering presence — a figure wrapped in shifting veils of auroral light, with many faces glimpsed beneath. Some see the silhouette of a great beast, others a masked traveler whose footsteps leave no mark.
Saeza’s symbol is drawn from a circle bisected by a horizontal line, its edges stretching beyond the arc, and three dots placed at equidistant points: two above, one below. The circle is often seen as the body of a world, Alekia or any realm adrift in the cosmos, while the line is the horizon of this world— always visible, never reached. The three dots carry many interpretations. Some say they are Ba’saemo, Ba’saeshej, and Xesae: Gods of spirit, sentiment, and the subconscious. Others see the three moons, Kusfep, Tamwis, and Letoi, charting curiosity, opportunity, and innovation across the sky. Wanderers whisper that they are Saeza’s own masks — ivory, onyx, and mirrored glass — or else the three seeds gifted at the edge of the world: hope, memory, and unknowing. Each tale insists on a different truth, yet all agree that the sigil holds the horizon, and beyond it, the promise of change.
Pantheon
Saeza’s pantheon is a shifting field of spirits, moods, and horizons — a constellation that never never holds one shape. Unlike the rooted lineages of other Greater Deities, Saeza’s court is restless, its members wandering, colliding, and parting again like travelers on an endless road. Their children are not bound to thrones but to feelings: envy that sharpens the hunt, kindness that softens the path, grief that bends the back, hope that steadies the step. Each deity is a mask of the soul, worn for a time and then set aside, only to inevitably be taken up again. Some linger like companions at the campfire; others vanish with the dawn, leaving only the warmth of their embers. To follow any is to accept that divinity, like the self, is always in motion — and that the horizon only recedes to make room for what comes next.

Myths and Legends
The Three Masks of Saeza
It is said that Saeza carries three masks: one of ivory, one of onyx, and one of mirrored glass. The ivory mask is worn when they walk as the Hunter, a seeker of truths yet unseen. The onyx mask cloaks them as the Wanderer, guiding the lost along uncertain paths. The mirrored mask is the rarest of all, worn when they stand in judgment — for those who gaze upon it see not the deity’s face, but their own reflected through the shifting lights.
The Three Seeds of Saeza
It is said that when the first wanderer sought the horizon, Saeza gifted them three seeds — one of memory, one of hope, and one of unknowing. The wanderer planted them at the edge of the world, and from them bloomed the first wild fields. Those who find such seeds along their journey are blessed with visions of the past, the courage to walk forward, or the wisdom to embrace the unknown.
