Circle of Narmiraen

The foundations of Narmiraen's religion and the elf pantheon were written by Dani for his character Saleiar.
A congregation honoring the Goddess Narmiraen, creator of Evera's plants, fairies, and elves.

For the various elven tribes, the Circle represents the Goddess and her servants, or the elven pantheon they follow.

Isteni Származtatás

In the times after Evera's creation, only Dragons inhabited the land, clinging to the remains of an ancient, fallen dragon deity, Gyndrian. The Dragon Goddess, who created the world, brought deities to life to reshape this sad land, create new life. Among the many deities, Narmiraen was the one who covered all suitable regions of Evera with plants. But the plants required care, so she also created another kind of life: she created the fairies, who tried to serve the goddess with magic and persistent work. However, their efforts were turned out to be few by the presence of dragons. The changed environment was unusual for them, and they caused considerable destruction at times. That's why Narmiraen created the Elves, a wise, curious and creative race that lives in harmony with nature. It was the duty of the elves to join the fairies and protect Narmiraen's work forever.
The other figures in the pantheon consist of individuals who ascended from among the elves.
Three names remain from the time of creation: According to their belief, Fliadalis was the first elf created by Narmiraen in the Valley of Nehalenor. Ariaven became the wife of Fliadalis, the first mother and priestess. And Eidhil was the first bard.
They were followed in the First Age by Rhienna, Alabyran and Saphielle, then in the Second Age by Veela Luminatar.
During the turbulent period of the Third Age, Lilithu, Malior and Tyssa L'imenel.

Papság

  • In Nehalenor, the Narmiron elves are led by The Shonla, twelve nameless priestesses from the closed realm. The Narmirons have only female priestesses, they believe that only a woman can be close enough to their creator goddess. For them, Narmiraen is above everything and they only see her as a guardian deity. The other elven deities are treated as guiding "saints" of sorts, and Glysaris, Alabyran, and Saphielle are treated as taboo as having denied their creator.
  • Mystic elves usually follow multiple deities. Most people follow Alabyran as their creator god, for them Narmiraen is one of the other deities in the pantheon. Priests, priestesses, and other church officials alike serve in their churches. In the Empire of Zililon, the Church of Alabyran is the state religion.
  • For most Surta elven tribes, only the goddess Narmiraen exists, and other deities are treated as strangers. Some tribes recognize a minor deity on the side of their goddess, but this is not a general phenomenon and the person of the secondary deity also varies. Individual tribes or associations also differ in that they only have priestesses, or that the profession is open to men as well.
  • Self-proclaimed "outcasts", the Bena elves deeply hate Narmiraen and her followers. They believe that their creator left them to their fate when the Segai beastman overran their homes. They only follow Glysaris and look down on other deities.

Politikai Befolyás & Intrika

  • Utea: Priestess Narmiraen are the leaders of Nehalenor, and through the Adrelas they have a major impact on all areas of Utea.
  • Lifeon, Islands of Ilia Bay: Although in other, mainly Elven-inhabited regions, Narmiraen's priesthood does not completely merge with the local leadership, they have a strong influence in the decision-making processes.
  • In non-elven lands, it is relatively rare for the Circle to maintain temples, but smaller road altars and shrines can be found where worshipers often stop by when passing through.
