Religion of Qilin

Formally known as the Jiulong - this religion worships Qilin and the 9 pairs of metallic gods. The religion revolves around the two-headed celestial dragon Qilin, its two heads representing the sides of law and order and liberty and freedom needed for creation and existence to manifest.

Qilin rules over the 18 metallic dragon gods, 9 each answering to one head. Each island is named after one of the metallic dragons in their own vernacular and their domains are presented in the culture and responsibilities each island personifies.

In Platino, they worship the platinum dragons, Onore who controls all that falls under justice and impartiality, and Ventura, who stands for luck and prosperity. They are the first dragons under the eye of Qilin and also adjudicate among the other metallic dragon gods.

Nebu is the centre of religion, philosophy, and medicine. As such, Tanin is the golden dragon of recovery and healing while their partner is Thueban, who governs fortitude and endurance. Paladins and Clerics study in Nebu but can worship any of the metallic dragon gods, not just the golden ones.

In Gin, Yotei and Ato are the twinned silver dragons with the first controlling planning, forethought and its associated disciplines like architecture and engineering, while the second controls artistry like song, dancing, and literature.

In Cre-úmha, Pobail is the dragon god of community and family as they believe that their magic is meant to serve these units while So is the bronze dragon of luxury and indulgence which is the rewards magic gives to those who serve them well.

In Cobre, Cazador and Tesoro are rival copper dragons as their domains have large overlap. Cazador is responsible for hunting and harvest while Tesoro maintains adventure and treasure. Druids find themselves called to Cobre but do not follow any of the metallic dragon gods. Instead they follow transmutable dragons which only follow Qilin.  Their names also vary depending on where the druid hails from but their domains remain the same, according to the circle they follow.

In Latão, Riquezas is brass dragon of commerce and technology, the patron of those who invent and trade. Pazer is the counterpart, dealing with the risks and rewards such deals generate.

For Steli, Gewegan and Heolfar are the steel dragon gods for war and strategy and wrath and death, respectively. The first deals with the just and objective side of battle while the second handles the chaos and destruction it weaves. But in mythology, Gewegan is known to be the strict taskmaster while Heolfor is known to be a renewing and cleansing force.

In Seuen, Sa-eob and Saebyong are the mercurial dragons. The former controls deals and navigation while the latter masters the dawn and new horizons. The mythos have them as friends who are constantly chasing each other’s tail, creating what has been known in the rest of Myrias in Common as the yin-yang symbol.

In Le Fer, Futé and Travail are the iron dragons of industry and invention and their roles are synchronous but unique. Futé represents the orderliness of invention and recording of knowledge and history. Travail signifies the endurance needed to persevere in any endeavour and the chaos one needs to anticipate when building with one’s own hands.
