The black flame

The Cult Of Black Flame is a religion that follows the Gods of the Council of The Black Flame. It consists of 8 members, all gods, created by the Elder God, Kyrton. The Cult Of The Black Flame, which is composed entirely of free men, is the mortal enemy of the dark army for their support of Votok, the god of Darkness. It is the duty of the Cult Of The Black Flame and the Council to free the elder god and bring glory and light to Rathnir. The Cult Of The Black flame believes that after death, if they have lived contributed positively to progress, they will join their gods in Xyandiyr, or paradise. If one is not worthy, they will enter a state of nothingness until the end of days, in which they will be judged accordingly to their deeds. After their reconciliation with the Black Flame, they may be permitted to enter Xyandiyr for eternity. If they choose a different path, they will be cast into the dark void for the rest of existence. The Black Flame is a path of goodness and progress, and anyone that brings evil and oppression to the world will be passed a verdict of darkness, as they have lived. 
== The Creation ==
In the beginning, there was only void. After countless millennia, a miraculous flash lit up the cosmos, and created the heavens and stars above. With this, it brought the light force of the universe, the God Kyrton, but also his opposite, the eternal darkness, Votok. Kyrton and Votok drifted through the empty universe for thousands of years, locked in a heated debate over the proper way to create life in the universe. Kyrton believed that the universe should be blessed with overflowing life, and that this life should be instilled with the same free will that they possess. Votok, however, believed that the life created should be in complete and mindless servitude of their masters, the light and dark force. The heated debate turned into a massive battle, which ended in a gigantic supernova. This supernova sent each to different ends of the universe, and scattered ores and resources around the cosmos and their respective dimensions, the nether, and the end. Kyrton, now able to create life as he saw fit, created the world of Rathnir and Eldham. He scattered intelligent life throughout the continents and directed their progress as he watched over them. Votok, created many worlds of darkness in the void, filled with mindless servants and drones, bending to his every wish. These worlds were devoid of resources and true life. 
== The Council ==
Kyrton shaped the forms of 7 helpers, breathing light into them and providing them with life force. Each was named, and each was given a respective domain to help the Elder god watch over. 
Ilsongto-Numen of fire. Ilsongto is the keeper of fire and the havoc it causes
Westryon-Numen of the land. Westryon is the watcher of the earth, and the life that resides upon it
Jandar-Numen of the seas. Jandar is responsible for watching over all bodies of water in the worlds and the life that resides in it.
Illytor-Numen of the sky. Illytor is responsible for all things in the air, and keeps a close eye on the life in it. He is also responsible for watching over the weather patterns on the worlds.
Navorn-Numen of the heavens. Navorn monitors the cosmos for danger, and monitors the day and night cycle in the world.
Vades-Numen of Death. Vades is the overseer of all death in the world, and is the watcher of war. Vades is not a numen that should be tested.
Cantvyr- Cantvyr is the gatekeeper. Cantvyr is the guardian of Xyandiyr, and the numen of knowledge and wisdom. It is he who decides who is worthy to enter paradise.
Pyrtros-Numen of the ores. Pyrtros oversees the activity below ground, and manages the ecosystem and minerals that can be found under the earth. 
== The Sacrifice ==
Votok learned of the free worlds, and became enraged. Cruising through the cosmos, he and Kyrton engaged in yet another battle, this time bigger than the last. Two massive armies clashed in battle, the Free people, and the Dark Army. After 500 years of fighting, Kyrton and Votok were devoid of strength, Using the last of his power, Kyrton ripped open a hole in the fabric of space, which sucked the two Elder gods into the dimension of Quint'va. This is an endless void of pure white, in which each drift in absolute solitude. It is here where they are still trapped, biding their time and waiting to be released. The followers of both draw closer than ever to releasing their respective deity, and as rumor may have it, Votok may already be free, gathering his strength and waiting for the right time to attack
