Wanderers of the ancestral plane

Mythology & Lore

In the beginning there was only light, the light burned all that lived and the world was in unending unrest and pain. That was Until Ydna mother of the rumari used the spirits of the un resting dead to create the night sky. this was not enough though as she was turned to stone whilst creating it. She became the moon. This interference made it possible for the rumarians to use magic and build a great empire, however Ydna grew mad over the eons. She turned on her children and cursed them with stone skin. To prevent Ydna from destroying the rumari the ancestors turned on Ydna and diminished her powers just in time to save some of the rumarians. The great ancestors continue to protect the living from their wrathful mother. Only the honourable dead go to the ancestral plane to protect the living, the ones that are not get their souls torn to shreds inflicting torment upon the soul for about a century until it disappears. When the honourable souls are forgotten they will be born once more.

Divine Origins

Priesthood

Priests in this religion are called spiritcallers the leaders of the spiritcallers are called shamans. A shamans job is to communicate with the ancestors and help the clan leader lead religious ceremonies. Spiritcallers devote their lives to study the ancestral plane and build up a strong mind in order to travel the ancestral plane. a clan can have many spiritcallers at once but only one shaman. The road to become a shaman starts when a Huldra is about five. it starts with the spiritcaller novice doing chores for the shamans such as keeping the statues and temple clean.
