Culture
The followers of the Menedynn Pantheon, are those who believe and also exact how divine mandate dicates their life, for the believers, there is no single god to follow, but to respect and worship all of them in a whole. Those who wish to change their life course, must gain the approval of the gods or fight against their fate.
History
The Menedynn Pantheon was the sixth largest pantheon to emerge with the immigration with the Human invaders of Rakion. Most of the Pantheon came with the humans and many have exitsted before. This pantheon have existed until the God Orrual and his followers tried to destroy the elven pantheon, and thus this very act, almost annhilated the Menedynn empire of old and ripped apart the lands of the six continents that once were in Theras. When the Menedynn influence waned, those gods went and assimilated in many pantheons. In that cataclysmic event, the God Ervenius rose from a mortal to the most powerful deity and and many of the gods were weakened, while even some destroyed.
The Menedynn Pantheon didn't survive as a pantheon as their knowledge was only preserved in very few places, while the deities immigrated to other cultures and pantheons.
Worship
Each Menedynn worth his worth, today since the rise of The Bafigron Empire, is highly religious. However, they believe that every god should be worshipped. They share the belief of harmony and see the gods gifts in every aspect of their life - They live this at their heart and it seems that many of the humans are possessing divine powers of some degree.
The menedynn worship and temples are for all the gods, they recognize and fear. The gods, through their worshippers, grant protection to all, except those who are defiant and had done great transgression of denying the members of the pantheon.
Political Influence & Intrigue
The Menedynn Faith, had a book called The Invoked Deities, which is a list of deities kept by the city officals to assure the correct divine names are invoked in public prayers.
DIvine Mandate - The power and decision of the gods about the life path of every person.
