=== The Five Sacred Tenets ===
Sesher's church is recognised by its open palm crest, symbolising the 5 Sacred Tenets of the Father;

==== 1. The Passage Must Be Witnessed ====
No transition is complete without acknowledgment.

* Funerals must be spoken aloud.
* Oaths must be heard.
* Coming of age must be marked.
* Even criminals deserve a final rite.

Unwitnessed change breeds unrest of both soul and society.

==== 2. No Soul Shall Wander ====
The dead must be guided properly.

* Improper burials are a grave sin.
* Undead are an abomination not because they are evil—but because they are '''unpassed'''.
* Clergy actively seek battlefields, plague sites, and shipwrecks to perform delayed rites.

The worst tragedy is not death. It is being forgotten without closure.

==== 3. Thresholds Are Sacred ====
Doors, bridges, crossroads, shorelines, dusk, weddings, coronations—these are holy moments.

* Crossing a threshold without ritual invites chaos.
* Major life events require blessing.
* Travelers often request “The Small Passing” blessing before long journeys.

Sesher governs the space between what was and what will be.

==== 4. Grief Is Holy ====
Grief is not weakness; it is proof of love.

* Mourning periods are structured and communal.
* Suppressing grief is discouraged.
* Public lamentation is seen as spiritually healthy.

Tears are considered offerings.

==== 5. All Things End — and That Is Good ====
Clinging is the root of corruption.

* Leaders must eventually relinquish power.
* The dying should not be kept alive through unnatural means.
* Civilizations that refuse to change will decay violently.

Sesher is not cruel — he is merciful through inevitability.

=== Moral Philosophy ===
The Church of Sesher is typically:

* Lawful Neutral
* Neutral Good
* Sometimes True Neutral

They are not death cultists. They are administrators of sacred transition.

They are often calm, composed, and deeply patient.
