Hi all,
If you missed my blog post last week, I'd suggest checking it out before this one. That's because this is the second blog post that focuses on the Gods in Game of Air and Lightning, Aerus.
Unlike Bolt, Aerus values those who are compassionate, wise and hardworking. They will often choose children with these qualities for their faction. Some vices that Aerus members tend to have are shyness, selfishness and cowardliness. While Bolt considers these vices unbearable, Aerus sees those with these types of personalities as perfect for their faction. They want those who are willing to make the world a better place for everyone and look for non-violent solutions.
The Aerus symbol is a red thunder cloud, which is situated on the forehead, like Bolt's. Those who participate in the Game are blessed with the power of wind, which they can use against the Bolt faction.
Those that are brought up in the Aerus faction have a higher quality of education and are encouraged to pursue hobbies. Aerus doesn't expect blind devotion and welcomes those who question their words. They have no rituals to speak of and prefer to visit their followers in dreams. They are more hands-on than Bolt, those this could be attributed to them wanting to improve their faction rather than helping the members themselves.
Aerus members are fewer in number and hold less powerful positions. They have been governed by Bolts for decades, waiting for the day they win a game to obtain more power. Although Aerus members are heard in government, they are mostly dismissed by Bolt members and rarely introduce laws.
Aerus has been described as some sort of large feline with three eyes. Two of their eyes are red, while one on their forehead is blue. In the Aerus tomes, it states that Aerus stole one of Bolt's eyes when they were asleep. With this eye, they were granted more knowledge of the universe.
That's it for this week, I hope you enjoyed reading! See you next week.
