Stardom Religion

Religion overview

  The church of stardom worships a pantheon of gods, whom collectively created the mortal plane. The head priest of the church speaks as an envoy of the gods to the people, however in recent years has been suspected of corruption, as with many figures in Tsinaal.   Some worship one or two gods, sometimes receiving subtle blessing and boons for their loyalty, and perhaps a place on a gods eternal court, While others worship many gods, praying to Glom before a meal, Yull while in grief, Pricus in a brawl or Kyad when travelling in the night, for examples.

Ress, Goddess of Life created this plane in the song of creation, posssing great pastures, medaows and lively forests. Floating around Ress' domains are islands, the claims of her fellow gods.   Kyad's island is encapsuled in a dome of twilight, and within homes a mighty castle, sorrounded by light trees. These trees house Kyad's owls, his way of connecting to the mortal planes.   -Zol's island is a desert gaurded by fire elementals. At the center is a great pyramid, housing her and her many prisoners.   Yull's island is an expansive graveyard, with a small cottage of which he lives. The area is ungaurded, however those that disturb the resting places of the dead are harshly punished   Wir's island is a simple estate with a large garden, populated with psuedodragon caretakers   Pricus island is an eternal gladitorial pit, with the souls of those sworn to him entertaining him and his counsel of genies, in exchange for glory and feast   Ia's island is a cherry forest, housing an oriental palace, gaurded and served by samurai modrons   Himmer's island is a great forge carved into a cliffface, where he and his earth elementals craft legendary weapons, hiding them across the realms in hope for adventurers and heros to find   Glom's islad is a vast vineyard, and within it's mansion her and her counsel dine and fine cuisine and party into infinity   Deryv's island is a tempest ocean. He and his company sail on their longships eternally, relishing in shanties and challenge   Eev's island is a small plain, filled with rivers of pure magical energy, and in the center is a great spiraling tower, her home.   Rilin's island is a bog filled with lime haze. She lives in a small ebony keep, where her and her court watch plays perormed by trapped souls, inundated in their vanity

    And Ia realized that the beasts needed day and night
      And so created Zol and Kyad, twins of sun and twilight
