Kasdiel is known as the kindest among all the deities, and even her enemies revered her for her benignity and forgiveness. The Lifebringer is the Goddess of Birth and Restoration, and is also of Healing and Life. Her clergy portrays her as a gracious young woman in a white dress with a bright smile, and sometimes with white dove wings.

Dogma The Lifebringer teaches that all life is precious, and no life worth more than another. Everyone should value life, regardless of their passion or morality, for without life there is nothing but void. None should resort to violence as the first option, but one should fiercely protect their lives, homes and communities. If provided with the opportunity, one should learn the arts of healing so that they can extend their help to others who need it. One should always treasure their parents, wives, children and friends. Care for the aged and the weak, the needy and the meek. Always protect the history and tradition of your family and clan.

Clergy and Temples Members of the priesthood of the Lifebringer are almost always alchemists, healers, herbalists and physicians, for who know the value of life more than them? Clerics of the Lifebringer wear white clothing, and not necessarily robes, but they always have a healing kit with them in case they need to perform any kind of healing procedures. Temples of the priesthood are always large and allow plenty of air and light. This is to maximize space availability in times of plagues or war. Temples of the Lifebringer are considered sanctuary for all, and no violence are permitted within consecrated grounds. It is widely known that if an army attacked a temple of the Lifebringer, clergies of the other faiths (even those of Egannan and Richa) are bound by oath to aid it. Clergies of Kasdiel usually give out quests related to the gathering or delivery of healing supplies, search for a rare ingredient for a healing tincture, investigation of the source of a plague or becoming guardians for members of the priesthood while on mission.
