Followers of the Moon

== History: ==
In time in memorial the Moon has guided humanity in times of need but over the millennia Eldiham and Rathnear ignored its guiding hands listening to false gods seeking the downfall of the world with the false gods leading them to the moon to damage it and weaken it leading to war and chaos across Rathnear and leading to their destruction and so the moon created the lands of Albex as a chance to save the people of the old world.
As the people claimed the land again, one saw the Moon and its strength and power but also its kindness and love and he saw it as the Moon was meant to be seen, as a god, and in time lead pilgrimages to lands touched by its divine light but some believed him to be a liar and false profit, but he persisted and in time was seen as one of the moons Apostles.
As they persisted some saw them as evil chaos blood lusted barbarians when they were farthest from the truth. They were the only ones to see the truth as the great leader once said. “ The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates wars; the initiation of those wars causes chaos. We seek only to stop chaos by stopping war indefinitely and sadly to stop war, war must be done, blood must flow and sacrifices must be made.” so the Templar was made to do and get all 3 of what the moon needs; war, blood, and sacrifices.
In turn in doing the great paradox of war they have been blessed by the moon in a heaven of their own forever orbiting the great moon in defense of it and in wait for the last war.
== Holidays ==
(message LuckyLou if you want to add a Holiday): 
1st Day of Flaming Moonlight( a 4-day bonfire at which we burn one scar of the past but also remember the people that have added to our growing flame of devotion. we do this as an offering to the Moon and at the end of the 4 days all lights are removed to see the Moon and its divine light with no obstruction.), 
The Renewal of Midnight ( one day of rest in which we feast on food and exchange gifts with the ones we care about and as a collective group make an offering to the Moon for the lands it has handed us so that we may thank it for its many sacrifices for us.)
The Week of Lies and Hope(On this day we hold a festival with the people who wish to participate may put their names in a secret Santa-like game where people will be tasked with killing someone who also puts their name in this will go on till the last 2 dule and the winner is crowned the Guardian of the Moon and we celebrate with tributes to the Moon and songs into the night), 
Day of the Guardian (this day we give tribute to are guardians in hopes we may see the second moon in the sky for the rest of time and we celebrate with archery contests and families thanking the Templar for their sacrifice)
The Touch of Moonlight (Mooners are encouraged to make a pilgrimage to the holy sights of the Moon and make donations to it and pray to the Moon in hopes that it will hear are call and touch us with its divine light)
