The Faraway Paladin Codexery

God of Light

The lantern-bearer who guides souls to rebirth.

In the cosmology of *The Faraway Paladin*, Gracefeel is the goddess of light to whom the protagonist Will has devoted himself. She is the daughter of the gods Mater (goddess of the earth and child-rearing) and Volt (god of justice and lightning). Gracefeel is responsible for guiding the souls of the dead back into the cycle of rebirth by using her lantern to light their way. With her influence greatly diminished among the people in the other world, Will tries to act in her interest in order to spread her faith once again. He later confesses to Gracefeel that she has become the love of his life; an admission that the goddess responds to with a gentle, but not entirely reluctant rebuff.
