Cult Cathedral of Belmo

The Cult Cathedral of Belmo, is a template of the Cult of Belmo build in Bannover.
The nation of Bannover was given an ultimatum no other nation has ever been known to accept. This ultimatum, given to Bingo of Bannover, was simple. Worship Belmo, or face the destruction of your nation. This ultimatum was given to King Bingo in his dreams, where Belmo, the god of chaos and destruction, invaded his dreams and had the conversation with him. After hearing of the destruction of one of Bannover's villages that occurred while the King was sleeping, he took the ultimatum Belmo gave him seriously, and began construction of a great cathedral in the glory of Belmo.
Once the cathedral was completed, members of the Cult of Belmo, who likely burnt down the Bannovian village, spoke with King Bingo on how they were pleased with their new cathedral and would welcome both the King and his people as friends of the god of chaos. Ever since this moment, the nation of Bannover has seen extreme increases in wealth through trade and mining ventures deep in their lands. It is suspected that this new level of progress for Bannover has been guided by the divine power of Belmo.
== History ==
=== Destruction of Anndover ===
In the Heart of Bannover, a small kingdom in Kejafros, King Bingo wrapped up a meeting with his advisors and was quick to get to bed after a long day. Once he finally got into his bed, he fell asleep fast. Once his eyes were shut, he just as quickly found himself sitting at a table staring at something of another world. In front of the king, sitting as well, was a large red being that was not of the world of Abexilas. With big white eyes, black pupils, bright red fur, and a daring smile, the god of Chaos introduced themself. 
Before King Bingo could respond, he was awoken by his Kings guard, and urged to get out of bed immediately and speak with a villager that came in the night. 
As King Bingo ran down the stairs of his castle, thinking only of how quickly the night came and went through his dream of the God of Chaos, he realized that his dream was a real conversation. If he was dreaming, it would not explain what was next told to him by one of his subjects. The villager, forgetting his customs to bow, quickly began exclaiming the urgency of what occurred in the last few hours of the night. The villager, with a smoky face, told the king that their village of Anndover was burnt to the ground by a group of zealots. These zealots exclaimed to only this villager, the last surviving member of Anndover, that they were, "The Cult of Belmo, it was time for the King to chose his fate." After telling the villager to send their message to the castle keep of Bannover, the cultists vanished into the shadows. 
Hearing this news, King Bingo knew that he was not dreaming of his meeting last night. It really happened, he was transported to another realm and back. A being of such power was not one to take anything but seriously, so King Bingo made a decision. It was time to build a great church and pray for mercy. 
=== Construction of the cathedral ===
With the threat of destruction and a force of power unknown to the King of Bannover, he made the decision to heed the advice of the red being that invaded his dreams. He would construct a church in worship of the god, but King Bingo was smart with his next move. Not only would the king decide to build a church, he chose to erect the greatest cathedral any man had seen in the region. Whilst laying out the plans for the cathedral, King Bingo requested that the interior would be lined with quartz, a valuable and sought after material that would not be cheap to include in the construction of the cathedral. King Bingo also declared it would be the highest single building in the area, so all that are near can always see the great structure, reminding them that this cathedral was in a way, their salvation. 
King Bingo also requested two pieces of art were to be commissioned. The first to be a portrait of Belmo, this portrait was to reflect how the god appeared in the meeting they had in the dreams of the King. Above the portrait of Belmo would be another image, this was to show the connection between King Bingo and the god of chaos. He did not care as to what this image was, but he requested to the chief artist that it must show a connection to the divine world.

Many months went by, but the construction was faster than those who were building it thought possible. Perhaps this gives more merit to Belmo, staying true to their word that progress would be coming at a pace thought impossible by mortal men. The Cathedral was huge, lined with quartz, and displaying the imagery that King Bingo requested. Whilst taking a tour of his newly finished cathedral, King Bingo was turned around by a group of mysterious looking men. He suspected these were the men that burnt Anndover many months ago, however he entered a dialouge with them as he had no choice. These cultists surrounded him. 
One cultist stepped forward and said, "You have shown your dedication to Belmo. Our god is just as kind as he is cruel, and you have shown that you are willing and capable of sharing our lords gifts. Remember that your worship will promote your growth as a nation, do not forget this, as Belmo will not forget what you have built here." 
The cultist vanished, and King Bingo had many things to think about. He saw powers that were unknown to him, but he saw potential that could drive any common man insane. The projection for Bannover's future was now in the hands of Belmo and the way he works through the King. One can only assume that whatever happens in the future of Bannover, higher powers are at play.
