Harvest Havon

== Harvest Havon History ==
The world has been proven to hold or rather say captivate gods; most can be referred to as Spirits, Elementals, Demons, Daemon, World souls, and more “varied” forms. Most retain their own form of divinity and power due to them being bound by how much is directly under their control as well as how many other beings “souls” they have killed or had sacrificed; as well had materials from gold, jewels, and most of all relics with true power or “magic” infused into them. Their power can be directly altered by relics and the fervor of their believers through simple prayers and rituals. One such example was from a event where a entire sect offered up a major kingdom in their time as a sacrifice with its entire horde of materials given up as well; cause to what is to this day called the ascension event where the high sect overseers and leaders were raised into divinity due to the unheard of level of power offered up in that age. Many gods were therefore forgotten and taken by the void of time or the actual void itself due to them losing all their believers and being slaughtered to have what was left of the sects offered to the new gods. As the kingdom itself fractured into its lesser nations thereafter.
Some elements such as the moon, sun, land, and oceans were the major gods that had to be severely castrated by having their believers slaughtered or converted due to the simple fact they were the closest to destroying the rest of their ilk for more power and believers. But that in itself is hard due to the fact that if even one believer exists past the gods death, the gods themselves can be revived even in an age where they have been all but forgotten. One such god was one taken by the void of the world itself consuming all their relics, churches, and even the land from which they came into being or divinity respectively. This led to the highest grade of taboo that not even the gods knew about to come into fruition or into the minds of mortals. The simple act of possessing a church or shrine of a major god and RIPPING them into a realm/heaven/haven of their own to steal the power of the opposing god. The taboo was known as Harvest heaven. The taboo itself was only once ever performed against the believers and followers of the the god Lux. Nearing the end of the dark ages, there was a slaughter of religions, sects, cults, and far more was ever lost by all sides than ever before. Harvest heaven is to this age barely even remembered by mortals except those that practiced taboos of old gods and harvested souls for the void or hells respectively. Only a few major old gods still remember this taboo for they felt its true terror themselves until the last documented harvest happened. Harvest Havon is one such cult that lived through that age; a minor deity known as the former god fell to a mortal who performed harvest heaven ritual and has been all but forgotten. The current god is the mortal who took the power and place as the new deity. 
== Descriptions of deity ==
The entity of the Harvest Havon cult is known now as the Seeder their a Dwarf wearing a coat and seems to have a skin of Hay with some form of animal or human bone on his head to hide his face. With eyes of the void seeming to spread onto his mask as he grows less powerful.
* Has power over fields of hay, potatoes, carrots and shepherds but strangely ignores most other plants such as trees except for those from the nether; so not a true harvest god but only half a true harvest god, feeding upon the souls of sheep and bovine(cows). As strange as it sounds he is not purely a harvest god but seems to have more powers than most others depending on his altars and worshippers sacrifices. Also is seeking new powers within the world by devouring divine beasts or other gods.
* Despises parrots, cats, and most of all horses for they rob the harvests of fields as well as the souls he shepherds over in both life and death. His shrines are few and far between for even a scarecrow is enough to be called as an effigy of his believers with instead of a pumpkin being used a single hay block is enough to set up his effigies. Bones blocks and Hay are the most common items required for his altars and monuments.
* Due to not having a true singular place of power the seeder can be vanquished if all altars, monuments, and churches are destroyed down to the ground but due to its secrecy and low number of followers it is Extremely hard to find even half of them.
*Lastly he is expanding his domain of power within the world of gods by any means necesary, but always in elaborate rituals that include the nations his followers live. His aim is claiming minor powers first before the grander powers of divinity.
The Seeder bears no flag or common place of worship for the few members he bears as they are commanded in his first command to never have more than 50 people ever worship him. Only requires altars and monuments in his name. Churches to him if made by a follower or a outsider is such a major gift to him that they will get the gift of knowing his true plans in the coming days till the harvest. Hay monuments or statues with sheep skulls and hay stacks are required for an actual shrine or church but they're all hidden somewhere deep underground hidden from kingdoms, deep in swamps, near the void, or near a giant network of plants outside of their natural biome swarming around their altars. The seeder is willing to allow his followers to keep animals he despises except for horses only so long as they sacrifice food to him willingly and daily or offer up a single soul of the animal's children once a month inside their altars, churches or rituals. The seeder is also known to be highly secretive to those outside his cult but treats everyone even the gods the same way as his followers but directly laughs and encourages attempts to corrupt his churches with the beasts he hates.

== The Harvest ==
The harvest is the most anticipated act of god his worshippers crave to achieve due to its extreme difficulty for they perform the heavens harvest ritual on a random god stripping them some of their power and directly takes 4 entire days to perform, a huge amount of enchantments being offered up, cursed items of all kinds, and a animal being either a cow or a sheep being used as the focal point of the required items needed. If used on a god they are ripped into the void along side one of their churches or if used for curses on mortals the Seeder has full selection of curses at their beck and call. Alternatively a simple harvest is done which solidifies the Seeders power into objects or is used to curse individuals requiring the same amount of days but any given amount of sacrificed objects or cursed objects. With the gods choice of what to do should it not appease him; being the most greatly fearful option to his worshippers unlike harvest heaven ritual they gather grand magical enchantments to offset the fact his power is being used by mortals.
Should a harvest be done to any god the first sound heard is ripping of the fabric of space, the screams of ghasts from the nether heard even through the nether portals, and finally on the last day lighting hits all humanoids across the lands as to signify their incompetency by other gods for not preventing the ritual causing one to be trapped into the void. Having a mere Month hearing screams as the god is ripped of their power slowly by the seeder. Finally upon the 31st day their spat out drained of all their power a turned into a mortal till they rebuild their power or take it back. For he wishes to only harvest the power he plants in the world not kill it. After all how would he grow without nourishment.
== Worshippers and Commandments ==
The very act of worshipping this entity is highly secretive but has no qualms taking pride in their ways; found unusually in large cities for some strange reason near centers of other religions for unknown reasons. They are extremely helpful, respectful, and follow laws to the letter but they are EXTREMELY dangerous if allowed to their own devices for they follow simple commands from their actual god at all times. The first command was to “limit the number of their own cult to less than 50”, second “help nations grow with our support but do not involve yourselves in conflict”, third “produce relics from simple materials with any enchantments for a harvest”, fourth “Never tell the details of your faith to all those outside the sect past the first command”, and finally the fifth command “ should a crusade ever be called from the cult; surround the enemy land and sacrifice the relics to my harvest for they shall not cross those who helped them grow”. The fifth command was only done once within most records but the outcome and target of said harvest has been literally Voided from history due to the dark age after ascension day.
To most all old religions and gods this cult is highly taboo to join but due to the growth of the kingdoms and nations accepting their help they quite literally can’t be publicly executed or hidden away. Should they join their enemies god help; them as all their fervor and pride make them willing of opening the void WITHIN the kingdoms. Also a new theory created by newer religious figures it seems like the Harvest Havon is making new gods from the reserves of fallen kingdoms or worse yet their purposely creating fruits of the taboo to turn their animals divine but turned into sacrifices to only be devoured by the seeder. There is little doubt the threat this cult poses for they harvest the faith of gods and their sacrifices to an unknown end beyond growing in power for they purposely limit themselves. The seeder is known to do more with the power he harvests but seems to purposely Void documents even in ruins of their plans, the only way the information can’t be voided is within a one of their altars or beneath the edges of bedrock.

== Ritual Events ==
As of (10/29/21 at 9;45pm US Est) the demons invasion was used as a cover up to perform the great harvest ritual Harvest Heaven was declared and performed successfully with the cultist of Harvest Havon and the monks of of Cubism. The monks agreed to the taboo due to only the simple fact that worshippers of the religion lux was abandoning their code due to them being told that entropy and all her worshippers were executed the day before the invasion. With the help of the invading demon lord Skotos during the invasion the ritual was done in 3 days with the help of all his demons. In return for the help the cultists offered up a total of 60% of lux's power after the ritual, as well as hiding the fact to everyone that the ritual was done nearby. the cultists in return kept 40% of lux's true power for each portion grows with every prayer given to lux eventually becoming 2 separate central cores of his true power. The cultists are planning to perform another ritual with the heart and power of lux, shooting it at a unknown time and place with a mighty cannon that could kill even a god; currently the target is unknown but it will take quite some time to prepare. These were all the details collected from some of the survivors that saw the ritual performed. Sadly any further information as been voided or expunged to all but the survivors due to the seeders curse.
As of (11/12/21 at 5pmh US Est) the 40% of lux's core has been returned with the intentions of keeping the sun from going supernova destroying all life upon Rathnir. All information as to the reasoning why it was returned without complaints, seems to be in a attempt to form a alliance with lux's capital for some strict objective in mind. As the cultists destroyed their large 12.9k effigy for a ritual, after the luxates along side the cubists and cultists returned the core of lux. Their currently undergoing alliance talks due to the fact that they risked destroying all of Rathnir for a unknown objective.
As of (11/14/21 at 11:33pm US Est) a ritual was done and completed to make a Memetic Sigil upon the world of Rathnir. With open arms the ritual was finished with the sacrifice of a cultist (myself) at the core of it all. A large cube of bedrock placed in the center around the death of the cultist. The ritual has proved successful and has spread further than originally planned. With the blueprints of a God Hammer Cannon alongside a portal to be constructed and has been finished after 2 days. The next ritual is yet to be announced with a unknown objective.
As of (11/20/21 at 7:01pm US Est) a gateway between Rathnir and Eldham was created to transport a central cube of the cubist religion. The joint plan blew up miserably upsetting the balance tip it more towards the void. Both sides of the gateways had explosions, a mass army of wither skeletons slaughtering the lands and people, a (nuke) explosion towards the direction of eldham due to improper planning, (there was a griefer who joined on their side and faked info/builds) and lastly a literal rip in reality on both sides that lasted a full week. The void is winnng in world conflicts due to wars breaking out and this event spread their reach further than ever before.
