The Temple of the Nine
Oldest known religion of the Realms of Zghin. Officially a polytheistic religion, it has become embraced by 90% of the Ferwynn Tameel Population. It is said that nine beings were born from the raw energy known as Zghin. These nine beings were equals in every aspect.
Deciding against separation of elements, The Gods together established the lands. Illumino began to lead the Gods in this quest. Illumino was brilliant so all the gods accepted his role as leader, save for one.
Caleegunous, obviously matching the brilliance and strength of his brother God, was angered with his self proclamation of leadership. Breaking away from his fellow God's, Caleegunous moved beyond the Ashlands, which they had previously decided were to be the border to their lands. It was here, that he studied his dark magicks and plotted against the former allies.
In these outer lands, Caleegunous, erected four Demigods, to become the generals of his army. Erecting a dark army of beasts, Caleegunous returned to his fellow Gods. There he pleaded with his fellow Gods to accept his Demigods as additions to their ruling party.
Illumino fiercely denied. Once again angered with the Iron Fist of his brother god, Caleegunous, attempted to kill him. He failed and fled back to his outer lands. Illumino knowing his brother would not easily give up, rose an army of his own, and along with the other eight gods, marched to meet Caleegunous in combat. The Battle was fierce ravaging the land Caleegunous had created.
Exhausting all his resources Illumino finally defeated the armies of Caleegunous. However he was not ready to give up, with one last push at Illumino he was forced out of the land, and Caleegunous sealed himself within. Illumino and the other gods further sealed his gate closing shut the jaws of Caleegunous's dark realm.
The Remaining Eight returned to the Ferwynn Tameel Mainland and breathed Zghin into the lifeless land, creating the races of the world. Feeling their work was done; the Gods rested their spirits into shrines spread amongst the great realm. With these shrines the Zghin energy continues to emanate into the world.
Illumino- Self Proclaimed King of the Gods. Known as a God of Light, and goodness. His blessings tend to fortify strength, will power, and charisma, and intelligence.
Nachtun- Known as a God of the Shadows. It is he who created the nights, and allowed the shadows to thrive. He is also known for being a God of honour, and Emotion. Known to Fortify agility, speed, sneak, and eye sight.
Jalmir- Goddess of Foresight and Security. Jalmir saw the beauty of the nature they had created. Seeing a need for this to never sink into the shadows utterly she created the three moons: Tora, Munti, Langas. Blessings known to fortify speed, sight, defense, and patience.
Xorbon- God of Tactics and War. During the Civil War of the Gods, Xorbon was tasked with planning the fight. His tactics had won the war and a right hand spot beside his brother. Known to Fortify Strength, Defense, Tactics, and Charisma.
Alessa- Known as the Goddess of Love and Intelligence. It was she who decided to create free will in the beings they had bore. Known to fortify Intelligence, Love, and Willpower.
Treyarch- Goddess of Primal Instincts. Her blessings created the very basis of what life was. Fortifies strength, speed, agility, defense.
Chieste- Goddess of Nature. She alone presented Illumino her plans for what the diverse lands should include. Fortifies intelligence, speed, reaction time, and understanding of the lands.
Maultor- God of foundries and building. Through him the world was made alive. He created the rocks, the lava, the very basics for creating and building. Fortifies Strength, Power, Defense, Architecture, and Engineering.
Caleegunous- Fallen God. Known as the Lord of the realms of Desolation. Hiding in the mountains of his dark and desolate lands, he builds his armies and plots to this day on how to escape and destroy his former brethren. Minions known as Dagontu (4 Demigods were Dagontu Lords, and army were Dagontu Grunts.) Fortifies power, strength, charisma, tactics, hate, intelligence, and deceitfulness.
The Temple is run by 9 priests known as the Ordinators. These Ordinators are known to represent the Gods, and speak directly to them. The two most important are that of Illumino and Caleegunous, where one holds him off and the other spreads his word. This is then broken down into a series of Temple Sanctuaries spread across the lands at all the major cities led by priests, and Temple Laymen.
