A light on all men.

Telepathy is the ability to communicate across vast distances and speak directly into the minds of others granted by Leth.

Leth and The Mark

Once a wild, voracious god, Leth underwent a significant alteration to his nature and personality to achieve the tenuous balance he now maintains. His story is one of redemption motivated by love, but accomplished through great reflection. His realm of influence is not limited to the moon, but stretches to the incorporeal elements of thought and change.

His marked followers are often those who sympathize with the journey of the soul from a shadowy, unsteady place to a calmer state. Leth's followers are frequently imperfect, like the god himself, and struggle against darker circumstances or natures. However, they share the goal of self-control motivated by love. Like the moon Leth governs, the god is a steady light in a dim place, never fully removed from the dark, but enduring as a beacon within it. Gnosis marked followers are frequently characterized by sacrifice for others, a kinship with the evening or a desire to change.

A cursed mark from Leth is rare, and usually bestowed on those who work against his followers, Ethaefal or those who seek to spitefully confound the redemption process of others.

Mechanics

Appearance

The positive mark of Leth rest in the center of the wrist above the carpals. It is slightly luminous with a violet or blue sheen. When in use, it glows slightly. The first mark manifests as a crescent moon, the second a quarter moon, the third a gibbous moon, and the final is a full moon.

A cursed mark follows a similar transformation, but instead of a bright emblem, it is a corrupt harvest moon: fiendishly red with sooty smears.
