# Camulinus ## Overview Camulinus is the Romanized form of the Celtic god **Camulus**, a local war deity syncretized into the Roman pantheon under the domain of **Vulcan**. In Lindum Colonia, he serves as the **District Flame**, overseeing the forging of weapons, enchanted metallurgy, and civic metal infrastructure. His cult holds state recognition as a **Cultus Publicus** and operates as a powerful guild-like institution of magical blacksmiths and engineers. --- ## Cult and Worship - Camulinus’s cult manages **weapon blessing rites**, **structural enchantments**, and **forging licenses** throughout Lindum Colonia. - Known for maintaining **ritual purity** in smithing and for innovating resonance-forged materials. - A key source of magically reinforced civic defenses and armaments for the district. - His temples are industrial in design—fused with forge halls, enchantment workshops, and flame altars. --- ## Mythos and Lore - Believed to reside in a **hidden subterranean city** known as the **Infernal Foundry** or **City of Brass**, where divine forges run perpetually. - According to myth, only those who pass a trial of fire and oath may find this hidden city. - Symbolized by the **hammer**, the **anvil**, and a **flame inscribed with Dorian runes**. --- ## Political and Divine Role - Though a localized deity, Camulinus is deeply tied to the Vulcanic hierarchy and serves as a regional manifestation of Vulcan’s divine authority. - Loyal to the Republic and viewed as a **stabilizing force** in the often chaotic balance of elemental and military magic. - Sometimes invoked in political ceremonies concerning infrastructure, military logistics, or magical ordinance review. --- ## Cultural Notes - His forge temples serve as licensing offices for enchanted metalwork. - Apprenticeships in Camulinus’s name are considered elite and often politically vetted. - Seen as a “blue-collar god” with civic loyalty, discipline, and immense arcane power—revered equally by soldiers and builders.
