Religion in Alrec

Religion is a subject of debate amongst many people in Alrec, though it is not used as much as one would think, as most commoners go on their merry day, never questioning the afterlife, other than that it exists.

Nonetheless, this does not mean religion does not occur, infact there are many religions spread throughout the lands in Alrec, listed below are the major ones.

Namj
See: Namj

Namj is the most popular religion in Alrec. They believe that the end of the First Era was caused by the death of many of the gods, battling over these lands, as they had grown bored in the heavens. Some wished to destroy them, others wished to enslave, while some wished to see the lands prosper. Different gods were placed in the different roles, making the religion expansive. Though all believe in a general consensus that these lands had been conquered previously by a man named Alrec, who was the first god to descend the heavens in search of new interests.

Courler, in their own self-interest usually go further and state that he was living in their lands before he returned to the heavens, sharing stories of his achievements.

With 3 different moons orbiting the world of Alrec, there is a religion that worships each one of them, believing that they orbit the world as protectors and judge's. For when a person dies in Alrec, they are sent to one of the moons depending on how they lived their life. The last moon to rise during the night is the moon where people are punished for their wrongdoings. This came to be as most members of wrong-ful alignment commit their crimes during the later hours of night, thus belong to the moon Luav. While people who have done well are sent to Avila.. The middle moon is where their deeds are judged.

Thunder

In Alrec a group long ago was formed, named the Thunder Whisperers. They were able to listen to the words in the sky when thunder struck. After time they were also able to manipulate the lightning in ways or another. All members of the Whisperers were branded with secret markings along their arm, ones that could only be seen from the light of a lightning strike, or by other whisperers.

While the group was eventually wiped out in fear of the unknown, many people and scholars have flocked to the religion, making prayers out in the rain during thunderstorms.
