Reappearance
Though Phealas' constellation has reappeared - indeed, it appeared alongside Mehana's on the day of Glory Exultation - he has yet to put in any direct appearance to anyone, and has claimed only one cleric.
No one's quite sure what to make of this situation.
Practice
The practice of worshiping the Final Judge was about precisely detailed, dogmatic ritual. Dress, liturgy, diet, and ethics were all precisely prescribed, and there was no room for deviation.
Clerics of Phealas were expected to be celibate, and to be the embodiment of honesty, above bribery, corruption, and influence.
Holidays
In times gone by, the month of Penitence was holy to Phealas. It marked the final month for appeals against the death sentence, with all executions for the year being held on the night of 34 Penitence. Legend has it that Penitence is the longest month of the year because once upon a time, a stay of execution was given, only to be revoked and the criminal executed a few days after the end of the Year. Because it was obviously impossible that a criminal was executed on a day after the final day for appeals, the month of Penitence must have been longer that year, and has been ever since. Consequently, the last three days of the month were known collectively as "Last Hope", and were known for being the days on which clerics of Phealas worked round the clock.
The last day of every month is also holy, as worshipers are called upon to redress any wrongs they have committed against another that month.
