Way of The Storm

Leon "The Blessed" Laetitia looking upon The Withered Summit

## Formation

On the continent of Feuyer, 400 years ago the people of the land were starving and weakened by horrible displays of nature, droughts, tornadoes and fiery infernos began to ravage the land. Leon "The Blessed" Laetitia stood a top the peak of the mighty mountain range Somflytre, known as "The Withered Summit." He fell to his knees and looked to the skies, asking for help and forgiveness from the demons that have cursed the land of Feuyer. Upon his request, the skies darkened and the rain began to pour down on him and him alone... he returned to the people with news as the very nature of Earth had spoken to him. He spoke of how the Earth was not out to harm and destroy them, instead, they are meant to learn and follow their way. He called down storms and showers onto Feuyer and formed the "Way Of The Storm."

## Beliefs and Practices

The Way of The Storm is the belief of the natural state of the Earth and what the Storms bless and despise. There are the Blessed and Demon terms that define the Earth and Storms wishes.

### Blessed Terms

* Honor
* Valor
* Kindness
* Determination
* Reliability
* Strength
* Beauty

### Demon Terms

* Dishonor
* Cowardice
* Cruelty
* Surrender
* Abandonment
* Weakness
* Destruction

It is the goal of those who follow the Storm to destroy all those who follow and cede to the Demon Terms, for they upset the nature of the earth, and must be removed from the earth in order to restore the beauty. Those who cede and follow the Blessed Terms are empowered by the Storms to enact their will upon the Demon Terms.

### Storm's Chosen

Children born under intense and powerful acts of nature are seen as "Storm's Chosen," They are believed to have closer ties to the Storms than other individuals and have the ability to read the Storm's power to determine a course of action to follow.

## Relationship with others

Due to the nature of where the religion comes from, The Storms do not demand any follower to spread and force the Storm's teaches onto them. The Follower's of the Storm protect and respect other's in their beliefs and religions. Unless the religion in question follows the Demon Terms, at which point the religion must be destroyed before the Earth's nature is destroyed.
