Cayden Cailean

Cayden Cailean was a deity of freedom, ale, wine and bravery.
==Scriptures==
His holy scriptures included two books: the Placard of Wisdom and the Life and Works of The Lucky Drunk.
===The Placard of Wisdom===
The Placard of Wisdom consisted of no more than a few lines of text. It usually took the form of a simple wall-hanging that summarized the traits that should be embraced by the followers of the Drunken Hero.
The entire text of the Placard of Wisdom is:
: "Decide your own life and don't let another person run or rule you.
: Be mirthful, for a man has no better thing than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.
: Judge not, lest you be judged yourself.
: Be kind to widows, orphans and strangers. Share whatever you have with them."
===The Life and Works of The Lucky Drunk===
The Life and Works of The Lucky Drunk was a collection of stories and tales purported to be an accurate portrayal of Cayden Cailean before he ascended to godhood.
The worshipers of Cayden Cailean believed that Skarlsboro was where he ascended to godhood, as it is written: 
: "And he led them out until they were in the middle of the great city and he lifted up his hands, and offered them ale and wine. And it came to pass, while he offered them drinks, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to the tavern with great joy." (Life and Works of The Lucky Drunk 10:50)
==Worship Centers==
Cayden Cailean is worshipped in almost every part of Gernon, and many of his worshippers love to brag about this fact. He is a proffesionally accepted god by the Dwarves of the Antax Mountains, the Oyashimans, and the Halflings of the Dorry Hills. The intrinsic culture of the Spice Coast also heavily worships Cayden Cailean, though no governmental position gives any god precedence in the cosmopolitan sphere the government works in. The people of the Calyan Delta despise him for his lack of care for work or the law, but as it is believed by his followers that he was born and raised in the Calyan Delta, many pilgrims go to Calyan to worship the god. The elves typically have no official gods, and the Mesorbans dreary look on life usually denies such frivolous gods as Cayden Cailean, but even in these regions some Cailean worshippers can be found.
