The God Cycle

The God Cycle, or the Faheian calendar is the calendar widely used in most parts of Streia. One year is compromised of fifteen twenty-four day periods, meaning that there are three hundred and sixty days in one year. Each of these twenty-four day periods is referred to as a "cycle" with each day in the cycle being the definitive day of one of the twenty-four gods.

God Signs
When someone is born, the Faheian's believe that this person is now intrinsically linked to the god in which was in cycle on their birth. So if someone was born on the first day of the cycle, they were born beneath the sign of Lovitz, god of harvest and agriculture. It is widely believed that each person is chosen personally by their respective god and that whatever god sign you were born beneath dictates parts of your personality, though many deny this.'

From all of those born beneath the sign of a god, a Champion is born. These Champions harbor a small piece of their god's essence within them and are granted great abilities, as well as the ability to receive whispers from beyond the mortal realms. These abilities allow the Champion to exert the will of their god within the lands of humans. As they are to be almost a prophet to the people, the gods choose their Champion's wisely, often choosing royalty or others with power. When a Champion dies, another is reborn come the next day of their god.
