The Six Paths
The Crimson Path
Core Question
How should we face hardship?
Answer
By enduring it.
Followers believe hardship reveals character, and that the only meaningful response to it is perseverance.
Relationship to the Judgment Gods
Followers of the Crimson Path accept that hardship is an unavoidable part of existence. Whether the Judgment Gods are fair or unfair usually matters little to them. The world is difficult regardless, and dwelling on divine intent changes nothing.
Rather than questioning why the gods exist and why the world is as it is, Crimson followers focus on how they choose to endure it. They believe that hardship reveals character, that resilience is earned through adversity, and that strength comes from how you choose to deal with it. You have to keep going and work on yourself.
To a follower of the Crimson Path, the only meaningful response to hardship is perseverance.
