Orogith

### **About**

The empire of Wizindiyeg has a religion of its own called Orogith, it is a Polytheistic religion.

### Gods

The Orogith religion follows many gods, said to have come from the holy world tree called: Windar, except for one god, known as the god Thagya. He is said to have planted the world tree, where all other gods come from. As such he is often called the father of gods.

The gods all live in the "Sanctuary". It is a place beyond human reach, although prayers may reach it if the messanger god "Khretor" deems it worthy of the gods.

The gods all have their own roles to fulfil in order to keep Meyendgahr stable, such as birth and death, being controlled by the godess of life "Ortha" and the godess of death "Morethar".

### Vóroth

The Vóroth is a divine entity, standing at a lower rank than the gods. They live on "The plane of Trengah", and only a few high ranking Vóroth's have access to the Sanctuary. The roles of these entities, are to view, and report anything and everything that happends on Meyendgahr, because of this role, thay are able to go to Meyendgahr, although they can't do anything when they are down there.

### Dehkrat & Vontrakh

The Dehkrat are gods who have fallen into darkness, such as the god of wind "Kethrak" or the godess of growth "khretáhn", they have long since ben banishedfrom the sanctuary, and their roles have been taken on by other gods. It is believed that they have been corrupted by Mahlur.

The Vontrakh are similar to the Dehkrat, only with Vóroth's instead of Gods, the way of banishment is also different between Dehkrat and Vontrakh.

When banishing a Dehkrat, the father of gods: Thagya, has to push them back into the world tree: Windar, thus banishing them to "the plane of Thomrek" where the never come back from.

When banishing a Vontrakh however, since the Vóroth, and Vontrakh both are much weaker than the gods, the gods simply kill them.

### Creation

Those who follow orogith believe that the world was created by a divine entityy more powerful, than even the gods themself. The people call this entity "Omirakh", and he is said to have created a paradise called "Meyendgahr". This was everything he wanted, until someone else showed up. "Mahlur", who is the enbodiment of hate, and malice.

He plunged Meyendgahr into darkness, with sin, and disease. Omirakh and Mahlur have been in a perpetual fight over Meyendgahr, and if Mahlur should ever win this fight, all life on Meyendgahr would cease to exist.

### Divine building

Followers of Orogith all go to the building "Oórgha", where they pray their wills to the gods, hoping Khretor allows it through the gates of the sanctuary.

These buildings can be found in almost every city in Wizindiyeg, growing in size the closer they get to the capital.

The buildings are a circle of pillars, working like a wall, withing the walls lay four rings, rising higher of the ground the farther in they are, with stairs between them three metres apart. In the middle is a large white cylinder raised up 1 meter higher than the inner circle. When you come to pray, you sit on your knees on this cylinder.

### Divine scripts

Orogith has two divine scripts, one of them, the "book of Eddhrun" is believed to be a text written by all of the gods together, having chapters supposedly written by the gods. The other one "Omkhentór" is written by "Omikrath" depicting the creation of Meyendgahr. Both of these books are read in the Oórgha from a platform on the northern most pillar.

### Divine leaders & Roles

Much like any other religions, Orogith has special titles for the "Leaders" within the religion.

###### Vólsur

The Vólsur are at the top in the religion, being "Chosen" by the gods, they have control over all other followers. The Vólsur get the option to choose either manage the Oórgha, as well as supervising the praying, or reading both the Eddhrun, as well as Omkhrentór during the day in the Oórgha.

###### Va**ǵ**reth

The Vaǵreth are those under the Vólsur, in ranking they are above commoners, but far under nobility, they are the ones who have been deemed worthy to serve the gods by the Vólsur. Their jobs are mostly recruitng others to join their religion, traveling out through Meyendgahr in search of new members. They are also able to be commanded by the Vólsur to support them.

### Beliefs

#### Death

When a person dies, the common belief is that their body and mind go to the plane of Trengah, to roam freely for all eternity, whilst the soul goes into the "Cycle of Mondaher.

#### The cycle of Mondaher

The cycle of Mondaher is where the soul goes after death. It is an endless cycle of reincarnation and death.

It is often symbolised as a Delehr with its Vorel streaching to the top. According to the book of Omkrenthor, this cycle is located around the Sanctuary as a large ring.

### Rules.

The book of Eddhrun contains "the five Mehriol" roughly translating to "The five acts", these say:

1. You shall not hurt others, nor yourself alike.
2. If you should steal, others will steal from you.
3. Treat one another with respect and dignity, as though they were your family.
4. Do not bind others to the ground, as though to restrict their freedom
5. You shall pay your respect to the gods as they themselves reward you
