Cults of Glorantha

Dayzatar

Yelm’s brother, Dayzatar is the Pure God who remained in the Sky Dome after Yelm came to touch the ground. He is the leader of the Aesthetic Assembly, which embodies perfection, and those who strive towards perfection in their own lives offer him worship. His dominion is the Sky Dome and all within it obey his laws which were created with the agreement of Yelm. Dayzatar’s worship is generally confi ned to Star Seers and Yuthuppan priests, who possess the astrological knowledge to be able to interpret his perfection in human terms; however any who pursue perfection might invoke his name or call upon his magic given the right cult affi liations.

Members of the cult strive for perfection in all things in their lives. Dress and personal grooming as always immaculate. Perfect symmetry in clothing and action is constantly sought. Indviduals with perfectly symmetrical facial features (CHA 17 or higher) are actively sought as members of the cult because they are believed to have been touched by Dayzatar himself.
