Faith of Derrelism

Derrelism is a polytheistic religion with three main gods that was once followed by a few nations on rathnir and is now followed by the empire of Oldann on abexilas, Derrel the king of the gods and creator of existence, Azzotl the god of the sea and nature and Igmir god of betrayal and evil. Derrelism has several afterlives. Derrelism is a faith that values courage and loyalty over all.
=== The beginning ===
In the beginning there was nothing but an egg and then slowly the egg began to hatch and once it had hatched the god Derrel appeared who went to eat some seeds and then because he was ravinous at the time he vomitted out the seeds which then became the seeds of existence and would go on create existence and the world of Abexilas. Derrel soon became lonely and wished to create beings to enjoy the beautiful world he had created. So he created the gods Azzotl and Igmir and soon after that he created beings who would inhabit Abexilas. The three gods worked quite well together azzotl began to create animals and the seas while Derrel and Igmir worked close together on keeping the beings that inhabit the world safe. Soon after that several more gods were appeared or were created the first being the chaos god Symf. Symf appeared from the void none of the gods knew how but soon he began to become good friends and work alongside Symf. Symf while being a chaos god was not malicious and seemed to just want to spread fun and humour throughout the world. Soon after Derrel created the gods Soltar god of the sun, Ibris god of the moon, Azmir guider of souls, Lilianna goddess of agriculture, settlement and commerce, Krigulv god of war, courageous warriors and the hunt, Tulenta goddess of Healing, Lovret goddess of legal activities, and Halskyli god of natural disasters and the weather.
=== The great betrayal ===
After many centuries Igmir began to grow bitter and jealous of Derrel's power and soon the world became divided between the misled followers of Igmir and the Faithful Derrel and the other gods followers, and then a great war began across the entire world no one was left unaffected. After many skirmishes across the world a great battle was schedule both armies has 30 million soldiers each the battle was fought for 2 weeks straight and by the end only Derrel and Igmir were left standing, The world was destroyed and the most important duel in the history of existence itself was about to happen, The duel was swiftly won by Derrel but he was severely injured and it would take him thousands of years to recover. Igmir was banished to the underworld where he still remains with the souls of his followers and those who betrayed and were evil. Derrel was injured but not killed the world was empty destroyed and no life remained his creation was destroyed.
=== New beginnings ===
Once Derrel had regained his strength he along with Azzotl and the other gods began to restore existence and made the world habitable once again. But the habitants of the world did not seem to believe in Derrelism as they had before and soon the Derrelist faith was followed by no one in the world. So Derrel himself Appeared to Walnut Episkfyr on the island of Akarid and told him to begin spreading the Derrelist Faith, Symf then did the same and appeared in the city of New Bongol to Voidfather Jacobin Fungus. They both began to spread their religions (Derrelism and symfism) around the nations they lived in. Slowly Derrelism began to spread across the world but people still worshipped false gods which displeased Derrel.
=== Derrelism on Rathnir ===
Derrelism was founded by Pope Walnut Episkfyr on the island of Akarid on the 11th of November 2023 it quickly spread and became the official religion of Akarid and was followed by the majority of the citizens and the entirety of the Akaridian government. Symfism had the same successes in the kaiserreich of Lavdi but the two beliefs would not meet each other until the fall of the isle of Akarid. Akarid had been forced off of the island by Daelryia Synderia and went to the Kaiserreich of Lavdi seeking a home the Lavdians agreed to grant Akarid a town if they helped them defeat some rebels. Akarid went on to help Lavdi in many skirmishes but the two religions would stay separate for almost all of Rathnir's existence but towards the end of Rathnir they decided to merge as Akarid and Lavdi were merging as the two religions both believed in Symf. Many sacrifices were held in Derrelism's time on rathnir and human sacrifices became a big part of religious ceremonies.
=== Rathnir's ending ===
Derrel began to feel displeased with the people of Rathnir he believed that many rathnirians and Eldhamites needed to be punished for not following him so he sent a comet to freeze over the worlds of Rathnir and Elhdam and created the new world of Abexilas. Right before the comet hit rathnir Derrel saved all of the Symfists and the Derrelists and sent them to the worlds of abexilas. Shortly after the comet landed he sent the non Symfists and non Derrelists survivors to Abexilas also.
