{{Main|Glinos (Reformed Stripping Path)}}
Glinos, the Divine of Ice and Winter, emerged from the primordial frost at the dawn of creation, embodying the eternal cycles of life and death. It is said that winter follows Glinos as he roams the world, accompanied by his loyal pack of Deepwood Gloomwolves and an entourage of ghosts and demons. Revered across Bassaridia Vaeringheim, Glinos wields the chilling power of frost, shaping the land with his frozen touch and reminding mortals of the inexorable rhythm of decay and rebirth.
In the religious cosmology of the [[Reformed Stripping Path]], Glinos is venerated as both a planetary body and the divine embodiment of winter, endurance, and the eternal cycle of decay and renewal. As the Divine of Ice and Winter, Glinos symbolizes the stoic forces that govern the boundaries between life and death, offering mortals both hardship and wisdom through the trials of cold and silence. His arrival marks a time of reflection, pruning, and spiritual clarity—where the old is stripped away to prepare for what is yet to come.


===Glinos in the Reformed Stripping Path===
According to canonical tradition, Glinos emerged from the first frost that settled upon creation, his presence born from stillness and crystalline silence. He is said to walk the world accompanied by spectral wolves and shadowed spirits, ushering in the winter and observing mortals as they confront the limits of their strength. Myths such as the Hymn of Glinos portray him as a severe but just god, unmoved by pleading, yet deeply respectful of resilience and humility.
Within the Reformed Stripping Path, Glinos represents the stoic balance of endings and beginnings, manifesting through the harsh yet vital force of winter. He is a guardian of the natural cycles that govern existence, encouraging his followers to find resilience and purpose in the face of inevitable change.


Glinos’ teachings emphasize strength in adversity and the wisdom to endure life’s hardships. Worshipers honor him as a deity of transformation, whose icy embrace clears the old to make way for renewal. His presence inspires mortals to accept the inevitability of the seasons, drawing strength from the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Worship of Glinos is centered around the acceptance of impermanence and the strength found in survival. The [[Eon Fellowship]] of [[Nexa]] upholds his rites, traversing wild, frozen places and performing rituals that honor the natural cycles he governs. His festivals, including Erev Galgal, emphasize renewal through hardship and the importance of endurance in the face of decline.


===Glinos in the Bassaridian Zodiac===
Through his association with the distant gas giant Glinos, whose atmosphere is turbulent and cold, he is understood as a patient, unrelenting force—a divine steward of the forgotten season, whose silence speaks of deeper truths and whose presence reminds mortals that all things must pass before they are born anew.
Glinos governs the Zodiac of Glinaeus, the ninth sign of the Bassaridian Zodiac and the fourth zodiac of the month of Thalassiel. This zodiac is associated with the Host Star Osiríos, a celestial symbol of resurrection, regeneration, and prosperity, which shines brightly at approximately 53°N latitude.
 
The zodiac of Glinaeus is a time for reflection, perseverance, and renewal. Under the light of Osiríos, worshipers of Glinos meditate on the cycles of life and death, seeking his guidance to endure challenges and find prosperity through transformation. This period emphasizes embracing change as a pathway to growth and regeneration.
 
===Eon Fellowship===
The Eon Fellowship, based in the forests surrounding Nexa, is the sacred order devoted to Glinos. Its members, a diverse group of hunters, shamans, and adventurers, are guardians of ancient rites and protectors of the frozen wilderness.
 
The fellowship reveres Glinos as the custodian of winter’s harsh beauty and eternal wisdom. Their practices include traversing icy landscapes, safeguarding ancient sacred sites, and conducting rituals that honor the cycles of the natural world. The Frostfire Convergence is the central rite of their devotion, showcasing their resilience and connection to Glinos’ enduring presence.
 
===Mythology: The Hymn of Glinos===
The Homeric Hymn to Glinos, composed by the Bassaridian playwright Eliyahu al-Bashir, tells the cautionary tale of Rhedan, a hunter whose pride drives him to attempt mastery over the frost. Hearing Rhedan’s boastful prayers, Glinos answers by unleashing the frost upon the forest, allowing Rhedan to feel the weight of winter’s power.
 
Unable to control the cold, Rhedan brings death to the forest he sought to dominate. In his remorse, he pleads with Glinos, who transforms him into the Pale Watcher, an eternal guardian of the forest’s cycles. The hymn serves as a warning against hubris and a reminder of the impartial power of nature.
 
This hymn is recited during the Frostfire Convergence and the Erev Galgal (Eve of Cycles), inspiring worshipers to honor the balance of life and death and the unyielding truth of winter’s embrace.
 
===Worship and Festivals in Bassaridia Vaeringheim===
[[File:35857907-726d-4b96-a206-c9a312b6eb53.png|200px|thumb|right|The Frostfire Convergence takes place around the Great Sentinel, an enormous, ancient tree found in the Gloom Forest outside of Nexa.  It is said that at the turn of winter, Glinos and his entourage of wolves and spirits emerge from the hollow at the base of the Great Sentinel as they begin their annual march.]]

Glinos is the planet eighth closest to the star Atos, and the last of the system's four gas giants.

North Polar Regions

The North Polar region of Glinos is a chaotic and turbulent area, dominated by powerful cyclonic storms and swirling cloud bands. The atmosphere here is dense with dark clouds composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with traces of ammonia and methane giving the clouds their deep, rich colors. Lightning storms are frequent in this area, illuminating the dark clouds with brilliant flashes of light. The interplay of light and shadow creates a dramatic and ever-changing landscape, making the North Pole of Glinos a fascinating subject for observation.

Equatorial Regions

Glinos's Equatorial region is marked by vibrant bands of clouds in varying shades of deep red and brown. These bands are formed by the differential rotation of the planet's atmosphere, with the equator rotating faster than the poles. The equatorial zone is the warmest part of the planet, receiving the most sunlight and exhibiting the most intense atmospheric activity. Adding to the region's intrigue is the "Flux Arc," a series of bright, transient arcs of light that periodically appear across the equatorial bands. These arcs are believed to be caused by intense electromagnetic interactions between the planet's magnetic field and charged particles from the sun, creating visually stunning and scientifically perplexing light displays. The equatorial region's dynamic weather patterns, intense storms, and the mysterious Flux Arc make it a focal point for studying the planet's atmospheric processes and anomalies.

Southern Polar Regions

The South Polar region of Glinos is equally dynamic, featuring a mix of calm and chaotic elements. This area is slightly warmer than the North Pole, allowing for larger and more complex cloud structures to form. The South Pole is home to the "Dark Spiral," a unique polar vortex with a spiral pattern of deep, dark clouds. These clouds are composed of fine ice crystals and hydrocarbons, absorbing most of the sunlight and giving the vortex its characteristic dark appearance. The interaction between the spiral vortex and surrounding storm systems creates a constantly shifting and intriguing display. The South Polar region is a key area of interest for understanding the planet's meteorological phenomena and the complex dynamics of its atmosphere.
