Religion

''note: This article is primarily written from a Soleilian prespective. Differences from other religions are noted in the article.''

 Each god is the patron god of a different nation, and each has it's own shrines.

The Eight are worshipped in Osea, where as Madd is worshipped in Samarkand but seen as evil in Osea

Samarkand worshipps Madd, and his demigods Sadd and Gladd, exclusively and sees Sparklelord as his avatar in the world.

While The Eight are worshipped in Osea, different areas have different beliefs about the gods. For example, Yuktobanians see Oramon as a brave warrior god where as the Borras subdivsion of the Eight sees him as a dangerous and destructive god to be feared. However, the only god seen as entirely evil in Osea is Madd.

 Creation Myth

In the beginning Sol created space and time, and filled his creation with light. Nirentosh breathed his fire into stone and in one explosive moment created Anea. Mallo descended upon Anea and filled it with life and wonder.

The nine divine children then descended upon the peak of their new creation and made it their home. The named their new domain Solethinia and built a magnificent city  filled with people made in their own image, the Solethinians (or elves in the common tongue). The Solethinians, made in the image of the gods, were wise beings, undying immortals of supreme order. The gods then created man (though followers of Borras maintain it was specifically Elerich with the aid of Larko ) and had them join the Solethinians in Solethinia.

A few divines soon left Solethinia: Nirentosh went south and raised the mountain of Volysia as his roost thus creating Osea. Lunitari descended into the deep seas. Eventually the gods banished man for their vices (bloodlust, ambition, madness, etc.) and banished Madd as well, who they said had corrupted man. Madd, newly banished divine, led his followers to Samarkand while Elerich took pity on man who he had always been fond of and led his followers and many others to Nirentosh. What few men did not follow either divine scattered across the globe.
