Preface

The Elysid Court is one of the most widespread religion in Falderen and its surroundings. It is composed of two courts, the Elysid and the Tora who are at conflict with one another. The creed of this religion is only to worship the gods so they may take care of you in the afterlife when your soul is delivered to Elysium.

Usually, a small town will take one Deity as their host while bigger cities will have several temples worshiping different deities. For worshiping, there is no restriction on whom the believer prays to, different occasion may require prayer to different deities.

Ys

Ys (p. is) leads the Elysid Court as the Alfather and the Supreme Deity. No one knows Ys' exact origin, many theologians claim that Ys is from a different universe. Supposedly, he arrived in this world with Uene and Ahra millions of years ago, where he constructed Elysium where their children are begotten.

Ys is often depicted as the omnipotent force of nature that simply exists without exerting his will. He is neither interested in the affair of the gods nor that of mortals. Most worshipers of Elysidism do not pray to Ys.

As a hard rule, only royalty may take Ys as their host. It is considered sacrilegious for non-royalty to take Ys as their patron. All monarchs who follow Elysidism will often have a shrine devoted to Ys in near their throne room, as they believe he protects their divine rights to rule the lands.

• Domains: Cosmic force, monarchy, judging, and ruling.
• Emblem: An open circle with a spread hand inside.

Uene

Uene (p. wen) is Ys' wife and the embodiment of Mother Nature herself. She is often depicted as a moody woman who may be kind one day but is detestable the next. Since, Uene and Ahra are sisters who are both married to Ys, Uene is consumed by her jealousy of Ahra and fueling her numerous attempts at killing her sister. Although she succeeded once, Ahra was able to comeback because she had hidden her heart before hand, allowing herself to reborn and continuing to plague Uene's turbulent heart.

Due to the history between the two wives of Ys, hate runs deep between the worshipers of Uene and Ahra, who are often at war with one another. Through bloodshed and violence, these devout carry out the proxy war between the two goddesses.

• Domains: Emotions, womanhood, weather.
• Emblem: Red lightning that is forking in 3 directions

Tyl

Tyl is the first son of Ys and Uene. At birth, Ys assigned unto Tyl the domain of justice along with a golden compass, which would help Tyl stay true to his righteous path. As Tyl grew up, he became overdependent on the compass to guide him through life without actively making the choices himself, which allowed his half-brother, a Tora called Ansora to exploit his weakness.

By fiddling with the compass, Ansora tricked Tyl into cutting Argoragos, who was a good-nature spirit and draining her blood over a river to cleanse her. However, she cursed Tyl and the world before she died, spreading a deathly disease through the water way and nearly wipe out the world of mortals.

After realizing what he had done, Tyl drew Argoragos's cursed into his body to keep it from tainting the world of mortals. This results in Tyl being in a state of perpetual pain as the curse destroys his body every second of the day. Because of this, his power are often blood-themed.

Given Tyl's story of discovering the true path and repentance, defenders of faith such as paladins.

• Domains: Justice, law, and paladinhood.
• Emblem: A bleeding steel gauntlet in the shape of a fist clutching onto a barbed vine that coils around the wrist and forearm.

Idna

Despite being the eldest daughter, Idna was always a mild tempered girl, who was completely unremarkable in every way except for one thing, her unquenchable curiosity. Idna had to know the answer to all questions, the solvent to all riddles, the secret of all mysteries. Because of her obsession, Idna found herself in front of the scrying pool of Mimir, a foreign god who

Taking a single sip of the water allowed Idna to briefly look into the future. However, when she was started by a loud sound in the room, Idna lost her balance and fell into the pool, nearly drowning in the liquid had Mimir not come back in time to pull her out.

Being exposed to such powerful force plunged Idna's undeveloped psyche into the realm of chaos, where she was perceiving the past, the presence, and the future all at once, breaking her tender young mind. When Mimir returned Idna to her parents, he gave them a special eye wrap that would ease the girl's pain, though, she would never again be able to open her eyes. That was how Inda became the recorder of time.

Worshipers of Idna are often magic users, particularly those who studies fate and cosmological magic. While she had been adopted as a matron of magic knowledge in the past few centuries, many magic practitioners still do not consider her as such due to her domain being one of divinity.

• Domains: Mind, divinity, and magic.
• Emblem: An open book with an arcane flame on top of it.
