Cult of Treth

Long ago, in an era long since forgotten by the likes of man and beast alike, did the treads of the forbears march. Unknown were their kingdoms, and unknowable their number. Known only in the faintest of rumor, myth, and lore is a single individual from amongst their ranks, Narun Treith. Known not what was their race nor age nor status, only that they once were, and that they shall be. Whatever magics or rituals once practiced, they were a forbearer in a time far darker in the lights of the arcane and mechanical madness then we are within the moment of now. It is said that with practices now lost to the era of modernity, they transcended their flesh and the realms of the directly corporeal, into the ether like that of state of raw, unfiltered magic itself. No longer are they, shall be, ever was bound by the wants or desires of the flesh, or it's limitations. For now and forever, they are unknowable, incalculable, inscrutable. Yet upon their departure, they gifted those left behind with a remnant of their passing, the flesh and blood of the very body he discarded; the corpse of flesh they no longer required. And from which, the great forests and blessed lands would be born, each with a heart untamed and providing of life power unending, housing within itself the lifeblood, the first step of transcendence.
All those who remain and now tread upon their gifted soil, their sanctified earth, and walk amongst their forests now lie. It is the druids who first heard the call. It was they then, and they now can discern the whispers of the trees, the tremors of the soil, and translate the rhythmic beating of the hearts of the land. They call to them, as we do to Aril now in hopes of the guidance, wisdom, and power that all life does seek.
==== Holy Sites ====
The holy sites of Treth are currently those located within the region commonly referred to as Talgant and Treth's Ascent. Within it's vast wildernesses lie the hearts of the forests, and many more small shrines in the form of scattered rune stones. Each of which are vital to the history and rituals of the cult.

===== The Wild Hunt =====
The wild hunt is a longstanding tradition within the cult. To acquit themselves as children, all members of the cult must first become blooded via the hunt. Called when so ever the majority of the cult demands, the hunt entails setting off from the sacred forests in pursuit of sapient prey to later return to the sacred forests as to feed both it's denizens and the forest itself. All required of the participants is a single kill to their name, although both quality and quantity in hunt are heavily encouraged. None except children are spared from the hunt; with said children instead being taken to the forests to one day become it's caretakers and druids.
