Description

Known for a wicked sense of humor, Lokira is actually one of the only saurian deities worshipped widely by non-saurian races. Lokira is the saurian god of adventure and life. By his example. saurians are taught to life every day to the fullest. It is Lokira that leads the saurians to try new things every day.

Religion

The religion of Lokira is built around one central belief that has profoundly influenced saurian life. That belief is that life, indeed every facet of existence, should be experienced to the fullest. And because the Lokiran philosophy is so deeply entrenched in saurian society, almost all saurians worship him. This philosophy manifests itself in many ways. Worshipers of Lokira, and to a lesser extent saurians, live each day as if it were their last. They quite often take extreme risks and gamble against the odds.

Lokiran priests are even more adventurous than the average saurian. They are more likely to act before they think. If they see a lever, they pull it. If they find a flask of liquid, they drink it. Considering consequences in advance is not a strength. In fact, it is considered detrimental to strength and action. Lokiran worshipers believe strongly in "instinctive action".
