Gilded illuminations and elaborate calligraphy are not in harmony with the Cuthbertine aesthetic.
Copies of Saint Cuthbert and Common Sense are normally handwritten in easy-to-read letters, sometimes with simple drawings. Those who fail at living up to the Saint's virtues are advised to turn to their communities for advice and support, and to pray to Saint Cuthbert to clear up their confusion. Some personal interpretation is permitted, but the essentials (obey the law, be good, and use common sense) remain the same. This short book, normally no more than thirty pages long, uses simple language to explain the tenets of Saint Cuthbert's faith. Saint Cuthbert seldom leaves his plane unless some great duty calls him forth. Souls there act as silent observers while the saint gives out judgments from his Seat of Truth. When they shed their mortal coils, those who worshiped the Saint in life go to Saint Cuthbert's divine realm, called the Basilica of Saint Cuthbert or the Bastion of Law. His worshipers get along well with those of Lendys. He is an ally of Delleb, Heironeous, and Pelor as well. Rao may have originally brought the saint to Oerth from another world. Saint Cuthbert is strongly allied with Rao. He also has an intense rivalry with Pholtus.
Saint Cuthbert is a foe of many evil deities, including Iuz and Vecna. Cuthbert takes many forms (including that of a common yokel or white-haired mustached man in plated mail) but in each one he is usually shown with a bronzewood cudgel.
