Caedan

== (DISCLAIMER!! This page is no longer being worked on, as I'm working on improving on the religion from scratch) ==
== Origins ==
The Caedan religion was actually apart of a larger pantheon. When the Caedan people lived among the Tribal Federation of Nuown (not in Rathnir), each tribe in the federation had a patron god. Any new tribes would be given a god from the pool of existing gods. Any new gods that were similar to an older one would be devoured by them. The gods of the Tribal Federation of Nuown were not traditional gods, rather they were spirits of sorts. The gods of Nuown did not walk the earht, rather, each of the gods would have an item tied to them. This item was their essence, the source of their power. The item would display the power of the god, each of these items would be highly guarded by the tribe the particular god is patron of. The Caedan's original patron god was named Torah, meaning Smith, because the Caeda tribe were renowned smiths in the confederacy. The Caedan people were exiled from the federation after being on the losing side of a civil war, as was customary, the Caedan's patron god was taken away, and replaced with Baat. Baat protected the Caeda people on their trek east, to Yimmu Audol, but Baat was not a benevolent god. Baat would constantly harass the Caeda people, stealing from them and killing them on occaison. 
== Terame ==
Terame was the traditional god of the Caeda people, they was the god of Smithing and Diligence. Torah was a much better god to the Caeda people. Despite Terame being taken away from the Caeda during the exile, whispers of the god still exist among the Caeda. Terame quite literally translates to "Smith," in Caedan tongue. Terame was said to be very diligent in shaping metal, to a point where he'd sacrifice his followers health to do so. Their patronage was highly respected in the Tribal Federation of Nuown.
== Baat ==
Baat was the god of Mischief, Treachery, and Sand. To have the patronage of Baat was a great disrespect, as Baat was not seen as a good god in the Tribal Federation of Nuown. Baat, starved of attention, coveted the Caeda people at first, but after a mere two generations of patronage, Baat got bored. Baat wished to return to the Tribal Federation, but he was tied to the Heart of Baat, and as the Heart of Baat was in the possession of the Caeda, he'd harass them constantly. The Caeda had also hated Baat, much preferring their old god, Torah. Knowing they couldn't survive without a patron god, they chose to give offerings to the Heart of Baat. Despite the mutual hatred, Baat still protected the Caeda, as it was his duty.
== Arrival in Theios-Essukdal ==
After the Caeda settled in Theios-Essukdal, they almost immediately converted to Theiosism. The only reason the Caeda still had the patronage of Baat was gone, and seeing a much more powerful and influential god, Theios, the Caeda found it best to abandon Baat.
== Events of 4/1/2021 ==
During the sacrificial events of 4/1/2021, NattyNuke sacrificed the Heart of Baat to Theios, hoping it would give him favor. The action only served to enrage Baat, as the heart of Baat re-appeared with far greater power than previously. Out of fear, NattyNuke has hidden the Heart of Baat in an unkown location.
