Mythology & Lore
The tales of the Brothers' Pantheon speak primarily of its founding myth - of how shortly after the Age of the High Dragons as the Lost Times had begun, the Brothers' Pantheon was founded by the Brothers' themselves, originally envoys of the gods. These three brothers, fresh from the calamities of the end of the Age of the High Dragons, entered the Sundered Lands and laid their eyes upon the harsh desolation of the landscape there such that they devoted themselves to using their power to restore life to those dead lands.
So it is that the Three Brothers, alongside Three Priests and an Archdruid, crafted and carried out a ritual that, when it was completed and activated, would allow them to restore life to the Sundered Lands - and once this ritual had been completed, the Three Brothers became the Kings of three new respective kingdoms built on the newly restored Sundered Lands, as the Three Priests stood alongside them and formed the Church of the Three Brothers around them.
Cosmological Views
The church of the Three Brothers believes that the world operates off a system of Reincarnation that has set down three stages of life - the new light brought into the world, the storm of existence, and the darkness that follows - these three stages are what most all followers of the Three Brothers' Pantheon believe life abides by.
Ethics
women okay, men better
Worship
The followers of the church of the three brothers worship through prayer, communion, baptisms twice in their life(Once at adulthood, once when they become an elder), and similar such practices. They attend weekly church gatherings on either the Stormsday or Sunday.
Priesthood
Each priest of the Three Brothers belongs to one of the temples that make up the Church - each church is ran by three priests, each of whom serve one of the brothers. These priests are always male.
Priests in training are always referred to as brothers.
Actual trained priests and pastors are referred to as fathers.
A person who rules over several churches is referred to as a grandfather.
Anyone who has the ability to elect one of the three patriarchs is known as a cardinal.
The church is ran by the three patriarchs, each of whom represents one of the Brothers.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Politics and intrigue are second nature to the followers of the Three Brothers, as the church itself is woven indelibly into the governmental structure of the kingdoms and carries massive influence over the main population of those very kingdoms.
By light and by darkness, we can bear the storm together.
