Tinker

Divinity
See also: Church of the Reverence

The Tinker is one of the Eternals. The Tinker is craft, invention, and commerce. They are the forge fire, the magnetic compass, and the bustling marketplace.

The smaller red dwarf star that lights Tessera is called the Tinker. When the Tinker is out of sight, the Chill occurs. Some Reverents interpret this as meaning that ingenuity protects civilization from cold and darkness.

The Maniac is the shadow of the Tinker.

Notable Faces of the Tinker include Moradin and Purphoros.

The Raven Queen may also be a Face of the Tinker or Maniac, with her fixation (or mania) on thought, memory, and possibility. The theory that she helps purify/convert souls through a cleansing "fire" of ruthless psychic self-exploration also fits with this Eternal. She is revered in similar but separate ways by different worshipers and seekers.

Gesture: counting, perhaps bargaining

When displayed in green, the Tinker's hexgram is a universal symbol for "crafter" or "crafthall" (e.g., blacksmith, carpenter).

((Real-world inspirations for the Tinker include Hephaestus/Vulcan.))
