Old Gods of the Mountain

The faith of the **Gods of the Mountain** is a religion based on teachings attributed to Goddess Trevalia, It originated in mid-west Alkerra, 4000 years before the ancient civilization of Karthia formed.

They were originally worshiped by the Maenglos which didn't necessarily deny the existence of the other Gods of the Patheon but they only pray to Trevalia as she would appear to them.

## History

**Gods of the Mountain** were originally worshiped by Maenglos, the first inhabitants of central Alkerra. Maenglos carved the image of Trevalia into the stones and they use their casting powers to stack enormous stone boulders and creating The Stone Circles, here they would pray to Trevalia.

The Maenglos initially would come meet Trevalia at the Great Shrine, here she would give advice to the people in forms of riddles.

When the Norlans arrived in Alkerra they forced the Maenglos to their religion, but Trevalia showed herself to them in the Great Shrine and they adopted the religion after this.

Only ten years after these events the Maenglos priestesses started getting visions of a great Empire that was on their way to attack them. A few months later, Arkosia, the demon and the Leader of the Empire of Darkness revealed herself at the Great Shrine during a praying session, thousands of people ran away afraid of the demon, she revealed her Empire was on their way to destroy everything that was on their way.

When Arkosia arrived with her followers she completely destroyed the Maenglos civilization and the ones that lived were brought to the Black Lands to be enslaved and tortured.

Centuries later the Maenglos were still existing in Alkerra and this is when the Summerian Empire arrived, after taking most of the Alkerra land, Summeria and Karthia separated.

Karthians used the casting powers of the Maenglos to build structures like never seen before.

The Emperor of Karthia then wanted his heir to have the casting powers of the Maenglons, he forced himself in one of the Maenglon enchantress, she got pregnant and one of her priestesses performed a ritual and cursed her child, she gave birth in Dunmar Hill to a dragon egg.

## Cult of Tremor

Most of the people of Nothern Alkerra fled to The Wastelands since Glacian invasions had been happening more frequently after the collapse of the Karthian empire, a new order was created, called the Order of Tremor, they claimed they had an visions of Trevalia explaining that Alterio had crushed into the world as a asteroid to flee away has he was being banished by The Entity, God of the Universe. Alterio become a symbol of hate and destruction to this Cult. When the order returned to Alkerra and settled in the Valley of Tremor they were invaded by Corruptians and the son of Goddess Trevalia was killed. This created Vallerism.

## Origin

Around 10th century BVD, Flavons established in the inhabit area around southern Tiveria and Flavonia. They came across a white dragon, she revealed herself as her true form and said her name was Trevalia.

She gave them teachings in Dunmar Hill and revealed to them she and her children had created the planet, she revealed to them Alterio and her were once married but he wasn’t in the planet anymore. Quickly this faith spred around Alkerra to nearby clans, and people from all Alkerra would come visit and pilgrimage to the Tremor mountains in order to speak to Trevalia.

Trevalia is the only God that has ever spooked directly to humans.

Trevalia claimed that dragons used to inhabit the planet, however she is not a dragon, she can shapeshift into one, she claimed that there was dragons eggs inside the extinct volcano of Beneror.

Her followers then travelled to Beneror and captured all the eggs and brought them back to Trevalia as a gift. Trevalia said to them that these beings are not to be used as weapons against enemies and that it could bring the destruction of the world.

Her followers then placed eggs on Dunmar Hill and set the whole hill on fire on a ritual, the fire was so large it lasted two days. Small dragons had came out of the eggs and Trevalia says “you won’t need me anymore, as I have served my purpose, do not seek me as you will never find me, I will seek you”.

She also prophesied one day a Prince will come to the world as her seed. After this Trevalia has never appeared to humans again in her actual form.

## History

The ancient religion tell us that Trevalia is the Goddess of the world, she lived alone in the world and created snow capped mountains, Alterio the God of Fire shape-shifted into a asteroid, one day he impacted himself into Morkoth, has he went down he created Wendra Goddess of the Wind, and when he impacted with Morkoth he created tectonic plaques and volcanoes, his fire melted all the snow and turned into oceans and rivers, in the proceed this created Povino, God of the Ocean. Alterio then came across Trevalia, Trevalia and Alterio felt in love. Alterio gave her - children. They become the Gods of the Mountain.

Order of Tremor (Now Vallerism) claims he fled from Morkoth to look for another lover and came back to Morkoth (and destroying Alkerra) to run away from his punishments.
