## Description

Warrior

**Female Warrior**, also known as **The Warmother** or **Kvinnelikrige,** was a mytho-historical figure worshiped throughout Under-The-Dome by a religion that is also simply called Female Warrior. According to legend, the divine soul of the Female Warrior would descend into the body of a worthy woman when she was born, and empower her to do great deeds and protect the innocent.

## Religious Veneration

Worship of the Female Warrior is said to have begun as long ago as the First Age. Ancient texts say that after the Supreme Elementals created The Last Land, they sent the Female Warrior to protect and inspire humanity.

The Religion began to appear in the historical record during the Third Age in Norway, with their queen, Hingaderga the First, being venerated as a god-empress and an incarnation of the Warrior. Curiously, the religion also sprouted independently in Zombingerend, where the Female Warrior was said to have battled for the kingdom of Camelot, and married Ivanhoe Pendragigan.

The exapansion of the Norwegian Empire spread Female Warrior Worship throughout northern Gruganda, as well as parts of Ionia and Shurima. At the same time, Eden was founded by colonists who venerated the Female Warrior. This was likely the height of the religion's popularity. During this time, the religion became more organized, with standardized temples, a priesthood, and a holy text simply called *Female Warrior*. Followers began greeting each other and marking any event by saying "Female Warrior" in a deep voice. Women said to be the Female Warrior were confirmed by priests by laying out the previous Warrior's things along with random objects, and instructing the candidate to choose which were hers. It's a Dalai Lama sort of meme.

Worship of the Female Warrior caused cultural changes in the societies where it was more prevalent. Women were expected to be strong and protective. The fact that most of the important fighters during the Weeaboo Wars and the Racism war were men was actually an incredible statistical anomaly. Culturally, fighting is seen as an extremely feminine thing to do in most of Under-The-Dome, making the heroes of *The Kings of New Eden* gay and GNC as fuck.

With the founding of Grimesianity during the early Fifth Age, religious animosity began to develop. Much of Gruganda was torn by violence between Grimesian and Female Warrior Worshipper extremists. However, in some regions of the world, such as New Eden and the Ringed City, the religions syncretized, with the Female Warrior becoming a part of the Grimesian pantheon.

Female Warrior Worship declined during the Racism War, as the LKSS forbade the religion and instead instructed women to be servile tradwives. During the late 5th age, religious fervor dampened further as their calls for a heroine to save them from the apocalypse seemingly fell on deaf ears.
