Knowledge: Religion

In the beginning, there were Two: Creation and her brother, Destruction. Creation was a being of grace, light, warmth, and life. Destruction, one of mischief, darkness, cold, and entropy. The two had been at odds as long as either could remember; Creation would bring something into being and Destruction would shatter it. This cycle repeated until Creation brought forth the multiverse, as we know it, and used all of her power to imprison Her mischievous brother.

But in Her mercy and love, Creation brought forth the gods to watch over and safeguard her works. But Destruction was wily, and he created beings of pure chaos, called the Primordials. Like their father, the Primordials began to rampage through all of creation, tearing and sundering. The gods went to war against the Primordials, in a conflict known as The Dawn War.

After much fighting, the gods defeated the Primordials, imprisoning them beyond time and space. But there were some gods who were deceived; corrupted by the Primordials and their hearts turned to darkness, becoming the Titans. These gods plotted and schemed to release the Primordials.

During this time, the gods took their time to create the races; Corellon Larethian awoke her elves, Moradin forged his Dwarves upon the Forge of Creation, and the humans first gazed upon Pelor's light. Obad-Hai called forth the beasts and birds. The gods and their creations lived in harmony for some time, until the Titans sprang their trap, resulting in a second divine war known as the Sundering.

The Sundering resulted in the gods imprisoning the Titans at the cost of exiling themselves from the Material Plane forever through the creation of the Door of Heaven.

The Gods
The circle of the gods involves the leaders and luminary creators that battled the Primordials and the Titans, and forged the mortal races of Tyrind. They represent a spectrum of light, protection, love, death, and all other facets of freedom and life in the world. While some gods may disagree and squabble over domains and intent, they exist in a subtle alliance to maintain the sanctity of life and their respective creation.

The Allhammer (LG)
The patron of the Dwarves and god of craft and creation, the Allhammer is worshipped by smiths, artisans, and miners alike, granting inspiration where respect and prayer are given. He is said to have shaped the mountains from the chaos of Creation, and stands are a protector of home and family. There is fierce devotion to the Allhammer among the dwarven people, who the Allhammer is said to have created at the same time as the mountains themselves. Temples to the Allhammer, which are always built around massive, ritual forges and anvils, mark the center of any dwarven settlement or stronghold.

The Allhammer’s primary holy say is Deep Solace, and is celebrated on the eighteenth day of the fifth month. Especially devout followers spend the day in isolation, meditating on the meaning of family and how they may be better mothers, fathers, siblings, and children. More commonly, especially in dwarven thaigs, the dwarves celebrate with a full day of feasting and drinking, a time of rest meant to be spent with clan and kin.

Commandments of the Allhammer
 * Remain stoic and tenacious in the face of catastrophe. Stand firm to your last breath.
 * Uphold and promote loyalty to family, loyalty to clan, and loyalty to your people.

The Archeart (CG)
Guardian over the spheres of spring, beauty, and the arts, the Archeart is the deity of arcane magic and the fey. They once wandered the twisted lands, seeding them with the first arcane magics and raising the first, ancient forests. It was by the Archeart’s hand that the first elves wandered from the Feywild, and for this reason they are considered the Patron of all Elves. Those who seek art in all their work, whether magic or mundane, often worship at the altar of the the Archeart. They loathe the Spider Queen and her priestesses for leading the Drow astray.
 * Domains: Animal, Healing, Magic, Plants
 * Other Names: Corellon Larethian (Dharrenal), Selune (Eleroth), Desna (Maezar)

Most modern tapestries and tomes depict the Archeart as an androgynous elven figure of impossible grace and beauty framed by long wavy golden hair. They have been the inspiration for many early elven art pieces, and it’s not uncommon to find elements of their visage or symbol included in most elven architecture.

The Archeart’s holy day is called Elvendawn, or Midsummer. It is celebrated on the twentieth day of the sixth month, and celebrates the elves’ first awakening on the Material Plane. In Illan, the elves build magical wards in certain spaces and celebrate with uncharacteristic vigor of the wild fey.

Commandments of the Archeart
 * Create, inspire, and find beauty in all that you do.

The Dawnfather is known for his victory over the Chained Oblivion, and is revered by those who hunt aberrations and undead.

The Dawnfather’s main holy day is called Highsummer, and takes place on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. The entire week is celebrated with gift-giving and feasting. Festivities begin on Highsummer Day and end at midnight on the twenty-first.

Those seeking safe passage across waters give prayers to the Green Shepherd to guide them.

The Green Shepherd’s holy day is Wild’s Grandeur, and is celebrated on the vernal equinox, usually the twentieth day of the third month. The people of the northern wilds celebrate the Green Shepherd's strength by going on a journey to a place of great natural beauty, like the top of a mountain waterfall, or the center of a forest. Wild Grandeur is rarely celebrated in settled lands, but some folks will plant trees or sometimes flowers in observance of the holiday.

Commandments of the Green Shepherd
 * Protect the untamed wilderness of the realm from exploitation and destruction.
 * Slay abominations and other dark mockeries of nature.
 * Embrace and respect the savage nature of the world. Exist in harmony with it.

 * Other Names: Boccob (Dharrenal), Aureon (Eleroth), Oghma (Maezar)

The Knowing Lord is said to possess a Book that tells the Fate of every mortal and every god, up to the end of time. He guards this book jealously, and he tells nobody what the pages of the book say. In the lore, the Dawnfather locked the Knowing Lord away in his Library for eternity when he discovered the Knowing Lord had known of the Titans’ betrayal before it happened and did nothing to stop it. According to the Knowing Lord, the sanctity of the timeline must be kept in balance and sometimes, there is no way to stop what is to come. This has earned him the title of “The Uncaring”.

But like all coins, she has another side, one that governs illicit trade, smugglers, fences, black marketeers, and "businessmen" on the shady side of commerce.
 * Domains: Envy, Protection, Travel, Trade
 * Other Names: Waukeen (Dharrenal), Tymora (Eleroth), Kol Korran (Maezar)

The Lady of Coin is nearly always portrayed as a slender, young woman with long, lustrous golden hair; always splendidly dressed, and usually wearing garments of gold and silver.

She is an active and enthusiastic goddess who always encourages her people to accumulate as much wealth as they can while spending as little of it as they can get away with. She is known as a friend to the Lawbringer. Her temples often function as banks. Indeed, the Church of Coinmaiden was actually the largest bank in Dharrenal before the founding of the Iron Bank.

Her primary holy day is known as Highcoin, which occurs on the thirtieth day of the fifth month. It is a festival marking the time for planning, the making of treaties, and agreements, and for the receiving of envoys from unknown lands and traditional foes. Much wine is drunk during the three-day festival, when "my enemy is like a brother to me".

Commandments of the Lady of Coin

 * Domains: Trickery, Madness, Luck, Song
 * Other Names: Olidimmara (Dharrenal), Cyric (Eleroth), Aravance (Maezar)

Offerings are always left anonymously by night on a small, inconspicuous shrine, and they always disappear by sunrise.

The Laughing Knave has no holy text, but instead maintains hundreds of mutually contradictory collections of parables and bawdy songs. Any attempt to codify or reconcile these texts in anathema to the Laughing Knave’s creed, which teaches that chaos should be embraced. Shrines and temples to the Laughing Knave are rare, and never public; one has to know where to look and who to ask to find it.

The Laughing Knave’s major holy day is New Dawn, and takes place on the first day of the new year. The day is usually celebrated with a large, midnight banquet that commonly features a short play that satirizes the changes of the past year.

Commandments of the Laughing Knave

 * Temperance and solemnity are the poison of the soul.
 * The powerful and arrogant should be put in their place and humbled every so often.

The Lawbringer (LN)
Also known as the Lawbringer, Cuthbert is the driving inspiration behind many great inventions, the creation of vast cities, and the bringer of law and order within: Cuthbert claims dominion over civilization.

The impartial but imposing nature of his stature and presence is nearly always paramount in any visual representation.

The Lawbringer's primary holy day is Civilization’s Dawn, and is celebrated on the autumnal equinox, usually the twenty-second day of the ninth month. In Tolstov, each neighborhood celebrates by dancing around great bonfires in the square and giving gifts to celebrate their communities.

 * Strive to tame the wilds of the world in the name of civilization, and defend the points of light and order against the chaos of darkness.

 * Domains: Darkness, Death, Fate, Winter
 * Other Names: Pharasma (Eleroth), Auril (Maezar)

Few visual depictions of the Raven Queen exist, with many temples simply using the image of a raven as a symbol of her blessing.

The Raven Queen’s primary holy day is the Night of Crows. The day is celebrated on the thirteenth day of the tenth month. The day is celebrated by honoring the dead with music, sweets, and the wearing of masks. Many people see this celebration of the dead to be unnerving and macabre, but the Raven Queen’s followers believe the honored dead would rather be venerated with cheer, not misery.

Commandments of the Raven Queen
 * Death is the natural end of life. There is no pity for those who have fallen.
 * The path of death is sacred. Those who pridefully attempt to cast off death to live forever must be punished.

The Traveler is prayed to by travelers of all colors, no matter what path they follow or how they’re getting there. He insists that people need to move around and experience new things. The state of the world is not fixed, and you never know when you might need a new perspective or even a new home. Look to the horizon for inspiration. His devout followers travel the world, always seeking out new things. His priests favor simple clothing and bless caravans and expeditions. They often serve as translators and impartial observers in disputes and negotiations.

The Traveler does not have many temples or churches dedicated to him. Wayside shrines to him are common, especially at major crossroads, ports, bridges, and near the gates of most cities or towns. It is also not uncommon to see wagons containing mobile shrines to the god.

His major holiday is known as the Day of Miles. Ironically, it is not a day of travel, but a day of rest. On this holiday, all travelers are expected to rest their feet and talk with other travelers, exchanging tales of distant horizons and faraway places.

Commandments of the Traveler
 * Travel wide and far, see all there is to see, and do not stop until you reach the horizon.

Churches of the Wildmother are known to provide food for those who have little.

Her primary holy day is known as the Grey Hunt, and it is celebrated on the first day of summer. On this day, which is usually only celebrated in smaller cities or rural communities, a great hunt is held where hunters compete to bring back the largest specimen of a species named at the beginning of the hunt.
