Celestial of Sin

The Celestial of Sin and Indulgence is a spirit inherent to/attached to the land of Bloomeria. He is Lord, Patron, Foster Carer, and Custodian of Gluttony, Lust and Sensuality, and all things sinful and indulgent.

(have a section listing all the sins and how people partake in them idk)

## Names

Septimus. Riot. Riotus. Extravanus. Indulgence.

## Patronage

Septimus is the patron of all things considered sinful to the fae of Bloomeria.

Septimus stands for a number of Prime Sins: Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Greed, Pride, Wrath and Sloth. Considered the Celestial of fun and mischief, he has a number of followers, though consisting of mostly young adults. Because of this he chooses to take the shape of his youngest version maintainable, which appears in his twenties, to make his followers feel more at home.

## Ways of Worship

The worship of Septimus has been called into question in most zones of Bloomeria. In recent years any such worship of him has begun to be considered taboo, due to the idea that activities which may lead to the harm of the participant, and importantly those around the participant, should not be allowed, whether it's a way of worship or not. Sloth leads to neglect, Envy is unproductive, Wrath can lead to harm emotional or otherwise, Greed is selfish, Pride is selfish, and gluttony has been criticised as wasteful.

Through the view of the followers however, if you have too much or too little of sin it can be harmful. With pride absent you will not care for yourself. With greed absent you may not fend for yourself. Without envy you may not think to take yourself into a better place, literally, or figuratively. Without sloth you won't give yourself needed rest. Without gluttony you could become frail. (no good example for lust but I bet that's a point of contention for them so will work with that)

This is not to say followers do not like a great deal of everything, but some prefer a balance. Most, if not all, love to indulge themselves, fundamentally, and this cannot be understated.

There are also many different sorts of followers of Lord Indulgence, listed here:

##### Sloth Focus

Those who follower the sloth sect of worship believe in apathy and rest. They don't believe in work being necessary for every fae to partake in. They believe that the way to find happiness in life is to give yourself breaks, and plenty of them.

##### Indulgence

The most common sect of worship. The followers of Lord Indulgence, and practitioners of all which he stands for.

Those who fall into this sect dedicate their time to indulging in every vice they can think of, as they think of it, all in the name of their celestial.

This sect is most popular due to the fact that many followers of Lord Septimus see the others as too narrow, and too defined, for general degeneracy. They don't care to define what they do as anything other than enjoying themselves as recklessly as possible.

## Mortal Interactions

Lord Indulgence has interacted quite a few times with mortals, rumoured to attend most raucous parties of Bloomeria, in disguise. He has the power to lower reservations and inhabitions; to bring out what some see as the best, and others see as the worst, in Fae-kind.

Some Fae believe he happens to attend each Spring Bloom, at the tail end of the event, due to how unruly some fae tend to get in their behaviour.

Amidst numerous speculated accounts of a great many people as Lord Indulgence is known to crash a great many parties in secret, there have been several notable accounts and events throughout history, within Harmony's Reign.

### -Rumoured fae of current and note

There are several fae of note and current to have been rumoured to have either interacted with Lord Septimus personally, or who are believed to follow the path of sin in honour of him. It is mostly speculation, but some may hold more water than others.

##### -Queen Sugarplum

Due to some specific areas of her rule being relaxed, it has lead to some speculation over whether or not the current Queen of Bloomeria is a follower of Lord Indulgence; or at least holds the ideals of one. The main area of her rule that lead to wide speculation, was the introduction of the holiday Lover's Lottery, leading to gossipers believing strongly that the queen must follow the lord septimus, in the sin of lust. This speculation has lead to both Queen sugarplum being held in favour by followers of Lord Indulgence, and out of favour by others, namely/especially, followers of the Celestial of Order.

##### -Prince Aalumo Lumina

The Prince Aalumo Lumina of The Lux Lushes has garnered a great amount of those impartial, and followers of lord indulgence alike, speculating on whether the prince has been swayed by lord indulgence, or follows him actively.

In a rare interview taken by a news publication of Oberon known as The Oberonian, The Prince of Light was asked personally his opinion on this speculation, and specifically if he thought it was possible he had met Lord Indulgence, perhaps at one of the many Spring Blooms he has attended, either by mistake or knowingly. The Prince's response can only really be classified as a reaction; a reaction that was incoherent and unclear, but fuelled some to speculate about the sin of wrath, further than they had been before.

A great amount of those invested in the topic have theorised that the prince likely met Lord Indulgence unwittingly, and this may explain his temper, and propensity for tantrums. This is a popular explanation for those who follow Lord Indulgence, especially since they do not hold the prince in much favour, and do not want to consider him as a fellow follower.
