Adeleyn

Adeleynism is the dominant religion in Lutharia based on the teachings of the True Gods of Adeleya. Adeleynism is polytheistic, based on the belief that there are many gods and goddesses, as well as a range of lesser demigods who reside in the afterlife Pantheon of Adeleya.

==History==
Very little is known of the earliest periods of Adeleynism, however it is believed that elements date back to the Third Age to human farmers and slaves of Orentia. The first Druids were said to be Human-Elven half-bloods. Adeleynic Druids and Soothsayers began preaching Adeleyn teachings in the early Fourth Age and the faith quickly spread in Mon Altrya, Ban Tary, Anthrea, Calderre and Kellodia. Temples across North Orentia were built to honour the Gods and these were deemed a place of safety and independent from the Kingdoms of Man.
In 112 AD, Mantis Aula was proclaimed as the first High Patriarch of Adeleya and the Theocracy of Adeleya. Aula founded the Grande Temple Eminence in the eastern Eminaari Mountain ranges, which became the seat of power for the Adeleyn faith and Adeleya. Other important sites in early Adeleyn history inlcude Temple Angelica, built in Altrya in 132 AD.
