Relgimist Pantheon

Description

Righto, so here's the pantheon for "Relgimism"; the draconic faith that appears in :iconddraigtanto:'s LOS fics. Relgimism is mainly about ancestral worship and vaguely animistic in nature, but it also has a "Dragon God" for each of the elements that a dragon may have, and lots of myths about these gods; usually with a moral or lesson attached. Relgimism formed when dragonkind began to unite in the times shortly before Malefor, and the various folk stories and guardian spirits of the various tribes of dragons of different elements became united into a single mythos. Over the years, three different versions of the faith developed; Avalarian or Secular Relgimism, Sekeolasian or Orthodox Relgimism, and Maleforianism. Of these, Avalarian Relgimism treats the Dragon Gods as ancestral spirits of dragonkind, not actual gods, while Sekeolasian Relgimism and Maleforianism treat them as Gods, responsible for the creation of the world (although Maleforianism also treats Malefor as a being sent by Ro'Silios to purge the world of evil and humankind). The Guardians in the Dragon Temple in Avalar officially teach the dragons in their care Avalarian Relgimism (which is secular enough that it is more of a philosophy than an actual faith, and so can be practised alongside a faith of the dragon's choosing), but also teach Sekeolasian Relgimism if it is requested of them by a hatchling's parents. 

Anyway, Sekeolasian Relgimism has another quirk to it; each of the Dragon Gods are equated with a Norse God, the result of Viking refugees fleeing to Sekeolath in ancient times. Any other Norse God not represented here is generally equated with a lesser spirit that's a part of the Relgimist pantheon...for instance, Loki can be equated with the spiritual being known as "Vagas". The Gods and their counterparts are as follows;

*Convexity - Ro'Silios (Everlasting Purple) - Female

*Fear - Ro'Denthanus (Everlasting Terror) - Male
