The religion of Cerdo-Nevism is the belief that (originally) snow and (after the Great Fault) pigs are sacred and should be worshipped. The words Cerdo-Nevism come from the spanish word for pig(cerdo), and the spanish word for snow(nieve)

Original Nevism
The founder of nevism is currently unknown. Nevism was founded in the golden era of the "Snow Kingdom" it was a kingdom based around snow with architecture solely based on snow and ice, it is unknown how they managed to not melt either when smelting or cooking, it is widely believed that they created a special substance to make small amounts of snow heat-proof, it was theorized due to small amounts of snow around what is believed was a furnace, when tested, the snow did not melt.

When the 1st. Snow Kingdom fell due to the ice age of the time ending, only a few priests managed to escape, most of those who managed to escape the walls before they collapsed, we're kidnapped or killed by the bandits that surrounded the area, it is thought that 90% of the Snow Kingdom's population died, either during the collapsing of the walls or due to the bandits, most of the survivors abandoned their old faith to be given citizenship in the surrounding kingdoms and towns.

Nevism passed generation to generation in a small town located in a snowy mountain top, the years passed, the memory of the Snow Kingdom faded, reduced to a few books in the town's library, the town which was isolated from the outside world due to it's location, was eventually rediscovered, the people of the town were showed religions and gods they had never heard about, and with the tragedies that had happened, the last remnants of Nevism, faded away.

Decades, or even a century passed, the town was abandoned due to the harsh climate and an earthquake that ensued. A traveler stumbled upon the remnants of the small town, he stayed there, admiring the unique architecture, eventually he found the town's library where, somehow the books had survived, he read the books, he was surprised by the unique faith, which he had never heard of before.

The traveler adopted Nevism as his faith, but due to him only discovering few of the records of Nevism he modified it into a more fanatical or even cultist religion.

Modified Nevism
Also known as cultist, or revolutionist Nevism, it's a more extreme version of the original Nevism, it consists on the belief that the ice age that existed during the golden era of the Snow Kingdom should return through any means, it was the main faith of the group named "The Snow Revolution" the headquarters of said group were located in the coldest province of the region, with icebergs and snow as far as the eye could see. The group's main way of expanding was through recruiting people on the region's biggest and greatest merchant center, the group eventually faced itself with a problem, keep recruiting, or consolidate the current members, the leader, to the discontent of the higher classes of the group, chose to consolidate the current members, but, due to the pressure of the higher members, the leader decided to change it so, every member's responsibility was to recruit more members, this however, was probably one of the biggest factors which lead to the group dissolving.

The group continued on, but when they tried expanding the snow, one of the biggest storms in recorded history happened, this lowered the group's morale, and eventually people started to leave, desperate, the leader made a strange machine which could be used to produce unlimited snow, the machine, however, failed, the group's morale could not be recovered, so, eventually the leader decided to move on, and become a merchant of a strange material, but that is another story.

With the leader leaving, the group effectively dissolved. One of the higher members of the group had left much earlier than others, he traveled long distances until he stumbled upon a region he had never heard before, a region where magic dominated the ambience, a place with strange people with strange abilities, he explored the region, then he explored the region's end dimension, where he found a tribe of hybrid dragon people he joined them to study their culture.

He abandoned the tribe when one of the dragon people tried to eat him.

The Great Fault
He traveled and stumbled upon a weird man covered with blue paint, the weird man accompanied the traveler until they found a town with a volcano on the side, they climbed the volcano, and there was a pig there, they, on their destructive ways, punched the pig into the lava.

Later that day they went down to the town, they tried a substance that the locals called "Magic Dust", after that they saw the pig that they had killed earlier, and it just stood there watching them, with its black soulless eyes, then it disappeared, they took that as a sign from the skies to worship pigs.
