Appearance

Tyrrha, being the god of all humanity, is attributed no identifying traits and is shown in all icons and religious artwork as either a blank white human shape, or a stick figure, denoted with a halo and a mace.  All texts containing any physical descriptions of Tyrrha have been expunged as heretical.  Those who claim to have been visited by avatars of Tyrrha describe a being of pure white light, with a multitonal voice.

Doctrine

Tyrrha is an ascended god, a being of legend that was once mortal, who's countless exploits and legendary acts served as a foundation for what is now known as the Empire of Ethalia.

Tyrrha advocates for the expansion, advancement, and growth of humanity.  If a fallow field is turned into farmland, it is done for their glory.  If a monster infested cave is turned into a productive mine, it is done for their glory.  Every new settlement founded where nothing was before is blessed by their clergy.  Every map commissioned and every scientific advancement achieved, is dedicated in their name.

Tyrrhan homilies are almost exclusively in second person point of view, inviting the listener to empathize with the events and, ideally, come to the correct moral course of action in the story shared.

“You are walking along a bridge carrying a bag full of apples and see a hungry child sleeping by the road.”

“You're watching a stage play - a banquet is in progress. The guests are enjoying an appetizer of raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog.”

“You see outside your village there is unclaimed land near a river.  You discover that the land is unused because the river contains dangerous serpents that infest its banks”

“You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you.”
