Petrus

Petrus, The Stone Sentinel, stands as a bastion of strength and stability amidst the ever-shifting sands of Greater Qirus. As the deity of stone, Petrus embodies the enduring permanence and the unyielding strength that is often associated with stone. Just as the desert stones withstand the harshest of suns and the fiercest of sandstorms, Petrus represents endurance and resilience in the face of trials and tribulations.

But Petrus is not only a symbol of endurance; he is also a beacon of protection. His steadfast and unyielding nature serves as a shield against all adversities. Much like a towering stone edifice that provides shelter against the desert's harsh elements, Petrus offers refuge and safety to those who seek his blessing.

The worshippers of Petrus are as diverse as they are numerous. Builders, for instance, revere Petrus as their patron, invoking his name and seeking his guidance when erecting structures meant to stand the test of time. Guards and defenders pay their respects to Petrus, praying for the strength and resolve to protect those entrusted to their care.

Those seeking stability in their lives, or protection from harm, also find solace in the blessings of Petrus. His representation as an unwavering sentinel provides comfort to those facing uncertain times, serving as a reminder of the power of resilience and the sanctuary that steadfast resolve can provide.

Petrus is symbolized by a towering monolith standing unyielding amidst the shifting desert landscape. This monolith serves as a visual testament to Petrus's protective and enduring nature, and stone carvings or sculptures of this monolith are common sights in the homes of his followers or in the holy places dedicated to his worship.

Rituals in honour of Petrus often involve the anointing of stones with sacred oils, or the stacking of stones to create structures symbolizing the challenges one has overcome or the protection one seeks. His festivals are usually marked with the unveiling of new stone structures or the reinforcement of existing ones.
