Revision as of 18:16, 6 June 2010

At beginning there was an endless nothing, and it was bored, so a big something was created, and it creates the world. In all kingdoms of the north this one and only god is praised in any form. It's the most known religion. The Northern Kingdom is easy in religion. The people believes in a basic energy, which created rules of physics and the lifeforms of Legonia. But it doesn’t act directly. So, the living cultures and races have their own responsibility to deal with the world and to respect its nature. A real living church doesn’t exist here, but after the death, people become part of the big something again. At least, some ceremonies are hold every year praising these thoughts. Other races and kingdoms have different kinds of believe. All followers of this monotheism together believe, that they will travel back to the big something after death, where endless calm and peace awaits.

Churches/cults

The big Something is praised in different forms and alternative religions, but these are always linked to the same god. So ther're these cults and churches:

Temple of the big fire

The dwarves whorship „the big fire“. In their culture, the big something gave the element of fire to the dwarven race first. This legend based on the fact, that the dwarves invented the smithwork first and used the first iron weapons. So, all dwarven success and history is based on this holy event. Dwarven priests pray for good work, protection against cold, safty in the mountains and luck. Traditional festivals and ceremonies are hold every year like the winter celebration, the days of fire and the mountain sanctification. Under Dwarven Peak the biggest temple of the holy, big fire can be found, but there aren’t many regulary visitors.

Elvenpriesthood

Also the elves praise the big something but they believe in equality. Everything, gods, nature, animals and people are part of the same thing. So the elves want to serve and protect the nature and respect every kind of life and energy. In elven religion, at world’s end everything comes together for creating a new world if the old is gone.
