Yatric

Yatric is a divine being associated with life, healing and restoration. While most deities worshipped in central Elthos have churches with consistent doctrines, beliefs about their gods and even broadly similar depictions of them spanning whole realms, beliefs regarding Yatric are far less consistent. Some consider Yatric to be just an aspect of Adri. Those in Hadash might view Yatric as an aspect of River, the force of nature believed to bring life there. Even Yatric's followers are deeply inconsistent about what exactly Yatric is or exactly what Yatric's teachings are. There is not even a central church of Yatric.

What is consistent about devotees of Yatric is that they care about life. The Order of the Bringer of Life is the primary operator of the Houses of Healing in Sanctuary, where they maintain a small temple to Yatric. Even there, there isn't anything even remotely approaching religious dogma, but rather the personal views of the various clergy. The Bringer of Life counts among its number some of the most learned physicians in Elthos. The temple library contains a fine repository of medical knowledge and no religious texts whatsoever.

The utter eccentricity of Yatric's devotees is broadly accepted in the empire because, whatever their belief system might actually entail, they tend to be deeply devoted to helping people. While most might think of a physician when they think of a follower of Yatric, others might express their devotion in other ways, from wealthy philanthropists to impoverished, monk-like followers who subsist on alms and labour to help others however they may.
