| Order of the Five Gods | ||||||||||
| back | ||||||||||
| This is another religion based in Getdarlien. Its small group of worshippers believes that four elemental gods rule over the four corners of the world, and they answer to a fifth entity, an omnipotent, omniscient being known only as the Keeper of Mysteries. Adherents of this faith are persecuted for their beliefs and because of this, keep their faith secret when around nonbelievers. The most well known center of the Order's prayer is Kolzando Temple, located on the southernmost tip of Getdarlien. | ||||||||||
| THE KEEPER OF MYSTERIES A wise and just ruler, always knows the right answer to any question. Holds ultimate sway over the workings of the universe--the other four gods answer to him. Miranna Zephyr-Rider The Goddess of Wind. Rules over the Western corner of the world. Lets her emotions guide her decisions. Camduro Flamefather The God of Fire. Rules over the Southern corner of the world. Strong-willed, quick-tempered, and independent. Inshirian of the Deep The Goddess of Water. Rules over the Eastern corner of the world. Calm and collected, believes intelligence and logic can solve everything. Tondel Mountain-Raiser The God of Earth. Rules over the Northern corner of the world. Believes in good relationships with nature and all the world's living things. |

| The Order has a lingo all its own. There are several sayings used commonly by adherents of the faith. For example-- If someone tells you 'May the Keeper guide your way,' they are wishing you fortune and happiness. This is a common greeting. If one is 'lost to the waves' it means they are overthinking things. Not that they fell overboard. Confusing, huh? If something unexpected happens, it 'must have been fated'. If one is stubborn, they are said to be 'flame-headed' One who is angry is 'in the blaze'. If someone is 'guided by the breezes', then they are following their heart. If one is 'mountain-born' it means they are sociable. If one has 'lost the mystery', it means they have been misguided. 'Until next our paths cross' is a common farewell. |
