Dragonic Faith (World of Zid)

The Dragonic Faith is the native religion of the dragons who came from the Northern Continent.
==The Great Spirit (The Great Celestial Dragon)==
The Dragonic Faith teaches that the two Dragons who do battle upon the astral plane where both fathered and mothered by the Great Spirit and that these two siblings; their powers so opposite failed to find compromise and now feud. It's the Great Celestial Dragon who those Dragons entering the Celestial Plane will encounter; and by that dragon will they be assigned to a force based on their recent life alone. The two brothers, and their cohorts influence the mortal world hoping for favorable re-enforcements to their cause- the Celestial Dragon judging not by favor towards either but solely upon the deeds of those departing the mortal realm and entering the Astral Plane.
==Reincarnation==
The Dragonic Faith states that all dragons began in the Astral Plane as children of one of the two Dragons who do eternal battle in that realm. When a dragon hatches upon the mortal world it has no memory of it's battles in the Astral Plane, those having been locked away to be kept in a great vault in that plane. When a dragon dies their spirit returns to the Astral Plane, their memories of past lives and deeds in the Astral Plane are restored and they again join in this battle between Good and Evil with a Dragon's deeds in their recent life dictating which celestial army they fight for.
==Non-Dragons==
The Dragonic Faith places the dragon as a being with an obligation to creation. A creature to bring order, and instill a devotion in the Great Spirit among mortal kind. It's because of this status that certain Dragons fell into individual cults; taking upon themselves the role of a god upon the world rather then a spirit sent in the Great One's name. Non-Dragons are to serve Dragon kind, to be instructed by, guided by, and fostered by them. The Evil Dragon who wars with his Good brother has rebelled against this responsibility having a more destructive selfish nature of which many dragons wrestle with. It was in the name of spreading the Great One's order that the Dragons swooped in upon the declining Elvish states at the end of the Elven Age ushering in the Dragon Age. It's also because of them that the Traditionalist faith evolved from what was previously largely a Naturalist realm. The spirits of non-Dragons go to the Celestial Plains governed by the Celestial Dragon. The brother who is victorious (and either could win) will claim the plains and the souls with in as a prize. The Good Dragon would follow his father's example though with a more active then distant role while the evil one would consume the souls to become more powerful then the father and overthrow him so he may destroy at his leisure unbound by his father's order.
