The Goddess Of The Night, also commonly referred to as "The Night Mother" by her children and followers, night warriors is the main religion of the Empire Of The Night. It is also the most powerful religion in history influence-wise, controlling over half the world in modern society. This religion allows polytheism, the citizens of the empire are allowed to choose the gods to worship but have to acknowledge, pay amends and respect the Night Goddess at least twice a year.

It is also the religion that placed the foundation for a safe society - its night warriors being solely created to protect other forms of life from evil. The faith keeps them strong and fearless of death because the night worshippers believe in an afterlife and celestial reward for honorous death.

### THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

"The children of the Night" is a term for all of the worshippers of Night Godess. It may be a wolf, a warrior, a commoner, a human or any other creature.

#### THE NIGHT WARRIORS

The night warriors are savage like packs who live to fight. They are brave, caring, loyal, and protective but simple, violent, and bloodthirsty. They do not rape, nor kill those they deem weaker than themselves because they find it morally cowardly. They have mutual respect for each other even when during a fight to the death, accepting that failing by dying or being grievously wounded isn't the fault of their opponent but theirs alone for being weak. The night Warriors usually fight to death.

## History

At the beginning of time, The Night Mother created wolves, unicorns, and various types of glowy creatures. These were the creatures of grace and wildness. After the gods of chaos, however, invented the monsters and creatures of the dark as saboteurs of the peace, the goddess took it upon herself to make counterbalance by creating giant wolves - The Night Warriors. The crucial reason for this was that her warriors have been born from the same dark powers.

### Warriors of Old

Sahatariel the Gray the, leader and alpha of the few still alive rose to the night sky, pleading to the goddess for life free of death and agony. The Night Mother heard him plead but responded that his demands were beyond her powers and their purpose had been set in stone. She however pitied her children and gifted the wounded leader with a glowing pelt as white as the moon itself, healing abilities, and immunity to diseases as a gesture of goodwill.

Sahatariel the Gray accepted these gifts and accepted the position of Ei-wah, a servant to the Night Goddess. From this term and his descendants comes the modern surname of misrepresented House Eiwar. With this, the royal members are to be reminded that although they share divine powers behind common comprehension, they are only borrowed and tied to their goddess. Were they to betray her, their fate would be worse than death and their souls damned.

### The Howls of Death

After the near extinction of Sahatariels descendants, The Night Godess gifts Sara Eiwar with fire-related powers to help out the lineage and takes on a mortal form to help defend Nightfall from human army attack. The attempts of ungrateful humans to end her children and followers, which would result in her own death, angers the godess. Weakened from the lack of believers, her son, prince of dreams Sonnata, descends onto the earth taking the form of Sentyel Eiwar to help the warriors regain their strenght, numbers and home.

The faith later holds together the Night Armies, who are the major military force of the Rebels. The war of swords and fangs was so cruel that the rebels fighting against great predominance that only a few survived such battles. From among the combined forces, it were the few night warriors standing victorious at the battlefield, since the night warriors do not flee the battle, but fight to the last one standing. The warrior soldiers who fought in these conditions contradictory to a change of survival were refered to as "deadmen" (the females too), so that they would accept their fate and fight without fear.
