	The god teaches resilience and self-sufficiency, but also the value of kinship. One should be able to survive and thrive on their own, yet it is equally important to support one's family and community whenever possible. Kher Shodei is the patron of leaders that take whatever steps are necessary to ensure those under them can thrive, especially if doing so involves tough decisions or personal sacrifices along the way. Offerings are usually given to Kher Shodei both out of respect for the creator god and to request guidance or favor for coming trials.

	Kher Shodei is typically depicted as a large steppe eagle, sometimes with blue-tinted feathers. All eagles are seen as his eyes and ears in the mortal world. Brightly-painted statues of these birds are often placed in elevated locations in camps and settlements to ensure the King of the Winds can advise the people that live there.

	Socharin's holy text is ''[[The Five Days]]'', a work that describes the return of the god from the dead. Its events are metaphorically described as taking place across a span of five days, even though most other renditions of the narrative of his resurrection state it was instantaneous. ''The Five Days'' is a collection of fables mixed with instructions for the five-day-long festival of the Procession of Socharin that his faithful hold on a yearly basis. Shorter version of ''The Five Days'' are often inscribed on stela located in and around temples to Socharin.

	Socharin is commonly depicted as a shepherd, often with the tools required for such a role. He is widely seen as a benevolent steward, someone who watches his crops, flock, or people, providing guidance when needed while otherwise allowing them to grow independently. Amongst his [[~~Ishtar\|Ishtaran~~]] followers, he is sometimes pictured with green skin, the color of rebirth. Many images of Socharin also show him wearing faded or incomplete royal garb, symbolizing his former position as a god of rulership.

	Socharin is a god of change and growth. He understands that achieving one's goals takes time and unceasing effort, and that sometimes relinquishing direct control is the best action to take. He is closely associated with death and rebirth, both of people and of the natural world. For this reason many cultures connect Socharin closely to the seasons. His devotees hail from all walks of society, though farmers and pastoralists are often particularly drawn to the faith. Socharin is also important to some as a funerary deity.

	In the hazy era before the creation of the world, Socharin had a very different form. A god of rulership and order, he directed the other deities in shaping the first incarnation of the universe, fitting together the cosmic pieces into his perfect design. As the gods celebrated their finishing touches, [[Lotan]], who had observed this process from afar with ~~anger~~ at the structure that was taking form, struck at Socharin, rising out of the primordial waters and bringing with him a Flood. ~~After a battle that took a fraction~~ of ~~a second and an eternity Socharin was defeated~~, ~~his perfect creation~~ scattered by the ~~deluge~~ into an unrecognizable and chaotic jumble. ~~Chased by the other gods~~, ~~Lotan fled~~ back ~~into the darkness~~ of ~~the waves, nursing his wounds yet victorious~~. The gods mourned, then set to work once more. A new creation was born~~, far less ordered than the first,~~ as ~~the~~ cosmic quintessence was pulled from the waters and arranged into something vaguely resembling ~~Socharin's~~ design. As the second world took shape, Socharin was reborn, chosen by [[Shai]] for resurrection. Rather than attempt to ~~impose~~ his ~~order~~ upon it, he saw its altered form and understood - perfection comes through change and time and cannot be ~~forced~~. Socharin gave his possession of the domains of rulership and law to his sister Harinna, then stepped back - he could only play his role by allowing the universe to perfect itself.		In the hazy era before the creation of the world, Socharin had a very different form. A god of rulership and order, he directed the other deities in shaping the first incarnation of the universe, fitting together the cosmic pieces into his perfect design. As the gods celebrated their finishing touches, [[Lotan]], who had observed this process from afar with rage at the structure that was taking form, struck at Socharin, rising out of the primordial waters and bringing with him a Flood. Though Socharin and the other gods were successful in driving Lotan back to the darkness of the waves, this came at great cost, for the deluge he brought with him scattered the perfect world into an unrecognizable and chaotic jumble. Gravely injured and unwilling to allow his great work to come to ruin, Socharin sacrificed himself, giving his body and form to bring back a semblance of order. The gods mourned, then set to work once more. A new creation was born as cosmic quintessence was pulled from the waters over the skeleton of the dead god and arranged into something vaguely resembling the original design. As the second world took shape, Socharin was reborn, chosen by [[Shai]] for resurrection. Rather than attempt to reassert his rule upon the world, he saw its altered form and understood - perfection comes through change and time and cannot be imposed. Socharin gave his possession of the domains of rulership and law to his sister Harinna, then stepped back - he could only play his role by allowing the universe to perfect itself.

	There are no unified churches of the Resurrected God. Unusually for a lawful deity, his clergy prefer to maintain a more hands-off approach to managing the religion. They ensure the faithful can pray and have their questions answered but otherwise let the religion spread of its own accord.		There are no unified churches of the Resurrected God.
