Namj

Namj is one of the more popular religions in Alrec as it gives the followers many gods on which they can be devout too. The religion believes that the First Era was caused by the death of battling gods, whom all wanted something to do with the lands in Alrec. Though within the religion it is believed that a man named Alrec first conquered them when coming down from the heavens.
