Odessuim

Short Preview
Odessuim is not a native religion to rathnir or eldham it comes from a far off world known by its inhabitants as Tarbarkin a brutal world with many wars and many races of people fighting for dominance but the world was destroyed by the gods due to the people of the world breaking the Demagogue, a set of rules the gods had set on the people. The gods angered, destroyed Tarbarkin but some people were able to escape the apocalypse with teleporter technology, one notable group was led by a man known as Tannic who brought two other apostles named Nyanja and Unoble to rathnir where they would live in solium a peaceful town of western Sparwood.

Creation of the universe
The gods looked over emptiness wondering if they could bring energy to this barren universe and so the gods with a combination of all their powers created an universal implosion that kicked off the beginning of the universe and the formation of many new terrestrial planet where life would begin and billions of years passed by until. One planet that stood out from the rest, a world the gods dubbed Tarbarkin had something special which we mortal would know as life with the first life forms becoming more and more complex and many other world's starting to develop life like Rathnir, Eldham, Teraka and more. The gods decided to hold a meeting to decide what to do with this development and over the course of 200 years LCC {Lunaris Chronicon Calendar} they have came to the conclusion to leave the life alone and let it develop as destroying it may leave the universe forever barren. 5 million years after the occurrens vitae life {meeting of life} ,on Tarbarkin life continued to get more complex with creatures going from single cellular to multi cellular and more developments continue with the creatures leaving the bodies of water and onto dry land where biomes and vegetation would thrive and over 670 million years LCC creatures continue to develop but then the gods noticed that some species would develop bigger brains than the normal sheep or cows the gods saw multiple species that began to work together to create something new, civilization. many more years past and the god's wonder what were these creatures like if they were near each other well their question was quickly answered when two different tribes of humanoids began to fight over land and food, the gods seeing the brutality once again had their own meeting where they agreed to send a prophet which was the son of Odessa and Venus the two main god's, about 500 years LCC or so from the first conflict to spread peace and the word of the god's.

The prophet landing in Tarbarkin
Tannics soul was placed into a ordinary creeper that lived in a cave near a swamp and with Tannic inside the creepers body the gods plan did not go to well because the brain of creepers were not that big meaning the prophet they sent was unable to spread the word but something happen that helped Prophet Tannic. One day when Tannic was walking around the swamp he was quickly knocked out by a witch and brought to its hut where Tannic was then experiment on and when the prophet woke up he saw a horrific scene with dead creepers and blood everywhere he picked up a axe on the wall and murdered the witch and Tannic quickly noticed he had two arms and two legs and was no longer a normal creeper and with the gods watching this unfold they quickly realize that their own prophet had broken the rules of the gods but the gods quickly came to the agreement it was a act of self defense and Tannic was still considered pure in their eyes. Tannic quickly ran out of the scene and back into his cave where his fellow creepers forced him to leave and Tannic would never see his parents again as some days later pillagers would attack a nearby desert village and a explosion nearby caused the cave to have a cave-in. Tannic alone in the nearby desert quickly found a abandoned desert village where he would show his kindness and help the locals recover from a raid, but a couple days later another raid occurred forcing Tannic and one other survivor named joseph where they would run to another far away village where Tannic would quickly help build up the town and show his kindness. but over the course of hundred of years Tannic would live a long life of conquest and spreading the word of god but his efforts were in vain as the worlds end was near many countries across ganged up on him and his empire. with the fall of the Heapion Reich and the destruction of hundreds of church's and the burning of Catalon the holiest city in the Odessuim faith the end was imminent and the god's quickly mobilized the Brachium sanctum, a army of the best warrior's that died and went to the the realm of the gods.

The flaming trumpets of destruction
The gods fed up with the people of Tarbarkin continuing to burn church's and continuing to fight wars the gods sounded the first flames of destruction with fire storms, tornados , and earthquakes killing millions more than any war before but this was not it the second flames of destruction sounded with Venus leading the Brachium sanctum to kill millions more non believers across Tarbarkin The 3rd flames of destruction sounded with all bombs being taken from the people and launched by the soldiers of god and decimating over 1000s of cities killing 800 million and nuclear winter soon set in and the god's wanting to making the suffering worse waited 10 years to signal the final flame of destruction with the entire world being consumed by a quasar. only a couple hundred people fled the destruction of Tarbarkin with almost all fleeing to Thalmoir or Teraka and with only 3 fleeing to a unknown world of Rathnir.

Origins of Odessuim in Rathnir
Prophet Tannic and his apostles were teleported into rathnir and quickly they were ambushed by bandits causing Tannic to be injured and them being ransacked for all of their items and with the 3 holy men cold, weak, and poor in a forest they decided they needed to find a town to settle down into so they asked around for a place to stay and much to their surprise many towns offered them a home but one town caught Tannic attention a nation named the Sataumia Khanate a squatter nation that was seeking a place to settle down too and the two groups worked together and found a small peninsula near a town in the nation of plagos and the town of Sataumia was short lived as men from plagos soon arrived and destroyed the town and killing many forcing the young nation to scatter and Tannic had a place in mind to escape to. Prophet Tannic soon arrived in a town named Solium in the Nation of Serafini where him, his apostles and a couple of people from Sataumia fled. 2 days after arriving in Solium Tannic and his apostles fell sick due to the lack of sanitation in Solium, Nyanja and Unoble quickly died due to new diseases that they weren't use too in rathnir while Tannic on his death bed having 2 broken legs, sick and over 630 years old was most likely to die within 3 days but then a stroke of mercy from his parents he was quickly healed all diseases were cured and his broken legs were healed. Tannic back to full health quickly established himself as a figure head in Solium with a huge makeover and a large recruitment drive he helped Tzar Herrech develop Solium into the second biggest town in Serafini and 4th biggest in TEK and when Herrech resigned he gave Tannic full power over Solium. Tannic also had a second mission which was to spread the religion to Rathnir to make sure that Rathnir isn't destroyed for their sins, he quickly built a church in Solium but his religious work was quickly stopped due to his attention being taken away from religion and more into politics in Serafini.

Odessa mother of all life
Odessa is the most important god of all of Odessuim as she is the mother of all life and energy in the universe as it was her proposal to kick start the universe. Odessa is not be mistaken as a weak god although she maybe a mother she still has the powers of all the energy and light in the universe and can single handily destroy the universe with the snap of her finger. Odessa also is in a relationship with another god know as Venus and these two were the parents of Prophet Tannic and she also had a number of other son's but they did not go down the holy path like Tannic did, making the misconception that she only had one child more widespread. The god's have perfect bodies and show their followers to inspire to look like them and be healthy both physically and mentally, and no other god proves this point better than the one true mother of all life
