Choosing my religion

Posted by knightvision on February 4, 2009

I created a new monotheistic religion for Ebonyr. It’s called the High Faith of Matria. It’s based on a “mother” figure god who is all knowing and powerful. Here’s a snippet:

History

The
creation myth of the followers of Matria says that all the sentient races are
descended from one single original ancestor.

 

The
division into separate races happened when Matria spiritual messengers, the
Celestians, became jealous of Matria creations and corrupted the “First
Ones” as the original race is now called by the church. Matria split the
First Ones into many different races and threw the Celestians out of the
Chamber of Stars and they are now known as the Kenrah. 

 

Matria
rose up her first prophet among the humans called Magian. He wrote down the
seven holy virtues and developed the Book of Prayers. A dwarf scholar names
Herias Stonghand was raised up by Matria to finish the Holy Book of Matria.

 

The
church has a presence in all the Five Kingdoms, but especially Myrcia and
Lucidor.

You can read the rest of the writeup here. I’ve also developed some religious orders to go along with the church.
