Bernald

The Bernalds were a religiousamd ethnic group in Jl kingdoms season two who resided in the religious city of Bernaldsburg in the Country of Bernald-Montelucia. Their religious beliefs were widely regarded as controversial but influential over many countries across the worlds, shaping their country and their beliefs.

## Core beliefs

The Bernalds believe that, from the official bernald "The universe as humans know it was created as an indurance test. Those that are born wrong are sent here as a punishment for not being right in Bernald’s holy image. But there is a land, where all is one and one is all. Where one is not punished for the universe’s wrongdoings. Where we can be free. Peaceful. With the help of your family here at Bernaldsburg, and strenuous devotion to the cause, you too may be sent to the world above the world, as has many Bernalds before us."

They believe this because "Paddos Bernald is the founder of the earth’s Bernald, and has ascended one hundred and fourty two times, and hes helped a thousand people ascend in his human lifetime"

## Season 2

### Relations with server

Paddos, the god king of Bernaldsburg, states that -

"The rest of the Kingdoms on the Jl despise the religion of bernaldsburg, because it threatens their fragile beliefs. For the short time the Bernald has been prosperous, we have been: Harassed, robbed, murdured, kidnapped, imprisoned, assaulted, tortured, griefed, shot, had our livestock slaughtered, had our pets and children slaughtered and slowly tortured, been virtually attacked, had verbal assaoult, been dennounced hundreds of tiems now, been abused, been bribed, been manslaughtered, had multible homicides, been stalked and has had multiple accounts of theft. And yet, the remaining members have stayed true, and their beliefs have gone unwavered despite relentless persecution. ISla for bernalds queen"

This is in fact far from the truth, as the bernald religion has been reveered globally throught the world, as many people have taken to the simplistic way of life that the Bernalds take to, and the assurances of spiritual mental and physical purity that it will grant them. Perhaps in this statement Paddos was referring to the Montelucians, who has had countless disputes and clashes with montelucian people ever since the Bernalds induction into their country.

### The Blue Prison Incident.

The blue prison incident: Paddos- "The whole of bernaldsburg, even those that didnt choose to follow the religion, was locked up together in a tiny, cramped, six by six cell. Bernalds would be shot at by prison guuards, and all the rest of the country would come to mock and throw food at the ravenous animals. No matter how much the Bernald begged and  for their freedom, they were kept held in that hellgholre, assaulted, murdered., stripped bare, for two whole days. Of constant mockery by the Montelucian police, and many countries associated with them. Many of the Bernalds died here, and those who escaped suffered long lasting mental trauma from the incident."

It was an event that never be forgotten, not for as long as the last bernald leaves Jl kingdoms.

"A vast majority of the Bernalds managed to escape, and those that did flocked to the Montelucian port in bulk in a hope to escape BernaldsBurg-Montelucia by sea."

## Season 3

### Escape

The amount of time that the Bernalds spent at time is unknowable, as there is no record of how long they were at sea throught the time period between the two servers, although it couldn't have been more than a year.

Throught this, the bernalds suffered many a tribulation and tragedy, and lost almost every Bernald to the "tumultuous, heavy wearing evil in every aspect" seas.

Eventually, Bernalds hit land, with only Paddos, the founding Bernald, and a couple of others, when there had once been millions.

### A New home for the Bernalds.

Eventually, with time, and with the help of the local natives, pirates hiding from the Jasonian navy and wealthy aristocratic Drapanese and Mendiran sea Merchants, the Bernalds were able to begin work on a new home : the pirate country of Bellendia.

This is where Bernalds have resided for the majority of season three, living in peace and equality in the utopian Isles, free from the hate and barradement from Montelucian forces.

## The Drowned

The bernalds believe that the drowned are fallen Bernalds who died at sea in the struggle to get to bernaldsburg, and they sunk to the ocean floor, and now wander the desolate lands at night in search of redemption. Because of this, bernaldsburg now have a deep rooted belief in their culture and ways that the Drowned needs to be treated with the utmost respect, and utterly revere the mass killing and harvesting of the Drowned by other countries.

This belief has been disputed by other peoples throught the world because of its loose claims although the sight of the drowned sometimes brandishing the Trident, the Bernaldsburg holy weapon this has reinforced this claim.
